Mezigdomide plus Ixazomib and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Trial Status: active

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of mezigdomide plus ixazomib and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Mezigdomide works by binding to a protein called CRBN that triggers the breakdown of proteins: Ikaros and Aiolos, leading to cell death in multiple myeloma cells. Ixazomib is in a class of drugs that work by prevent certain proteins from breakdown in the body. This allows the proteins that can kill cancer cells to build up and kill myeloma cells. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving mezigdomide with ixazomib and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
