Summary

This trial will test if ixazomib is more effective and has less side effects than bortezomib.

Who is the study for?
Adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, good liver function, and a life expectancy of at least 6 months can join. They must be able to perform daily activities with ease (ECOG status 0-1) and agree to use effective contraception methods or practice abstinence. Excluded are those with moderate-to-severe peripheral neuropathy, recent surgery or radiotherapy, active infections, known allergies to study drugs, GI issues affecting drug absorption, uncontrolled heart conditions, certain drug interactions within the last two weeks.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of Ixazomib (a newer drug potentially better than bortezomib), Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone in patients who haven't been treated for multiple myeloma before. The aim is to find out if this regimen is more effective and has fewer side effects like nerve damage compared to current treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems; nerve damage which might cause pain or numbness; liver issues; allergic reactions; gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or diarrhea; fatigue; and potential interference with other medications.
