Iberdomide, Carfilzomib, and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

Trial Status: active

This phase I/II study tests the safety, effectiveness, and best dose of iberdomide in combination carfilzomib and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Iberdomide is a drug that belongs to a group of drugs known as E3 ligase immunomodulatory compounds, or medicines that can modify or regulate the functioning of the immune system. Carfilzomib works by blocking the breakdown of proteins within MM cells by inhibiting proteasomes. Proteasomes destroy unnecessary or damaged cell proteins; when proteasome function is blocked within the MM cell, a protein build-up occurs within the MM cell that kills the cancerous cells. Dexamethasone is a steroid that is approved for use in cancer to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response. The drug can be used in combination with other drugs for the treatment of cancer. Giving these drugs together may be more effective at treating patients with MM than giving these drugs alone.
