This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax when given together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back. Venetoclax and ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving venetoclax together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax in combination with ixazomib citrate (ixazomib) and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). (Phase 1)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe toxicities associated with venetoclax, in combination with ixazomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed MM. (Phase 1)
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore levels of BCL-2 family member proteins (BCL-2, BCL-x, MCL-1) on bone marrow biopsies using ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNASeq) and immunohistochemistry.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of venetoclax followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive venetoclax orally (PO) daily on days 1-28, ixazomib citrate PO once weekly on days 1, 8, and 15, and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 for courses 1-12. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 or 6 months for 3 years.

Any of the following:
Other concurrent chemotherapy or any ancillary therapy considered
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.
“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.
Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax in combination with ixazomib and dexamethasone (Phase 1)
Defined as the dose level below the lowest dose that induces dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in at least one-third of patients (at least 2 of a maximum of 6 new patients). Will be examined in an exploratory and hypothesis-generating fashion.
Time frame: Up to 28 days
Overall survival
The distribution of overall survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
Time frame: Time from registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Progression-free survival
The distribution of progression-free survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
Time frame: Time from registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Rate of confirmed response defined as a patient who has achieved an stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) on two consecutive evaluations (Phase 2)
The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.
Time frame: Up to 3 years
Rate of confirmed response in patients with t(11;14) translocation
Will be estimated by the number of patients with a confirmed sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR divided by the total number of evaluable patients with t(11;14) translocation. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated.

The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration.
Time frame: Up to 3 years
Ran from May 2018 to primary completion in Dec 2021, 43 months.
Of 201 non-industry phase 1 interventional studies under Multiple Myeloma, half reached primary completion within 57 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 39 and three quarters within 99. This study's 43 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 413 studies reached it within 50 months; a quarter within 33 and three quarters within 75.
