Summary

This trial is testing if a bortezomib-based induction regimen can improve progression-free survival in myeloma patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Multiple Myeloma who've had a bortezomib-based treatment but no disease progression. They should be ineligible for transplant or not planning one within 24 months, able to perform daily activities (ECOG status 0-2), and agree to use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The study tests Ixazomib combined with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone on patients who have completed prior chemotherapy. It aims to see how this combination affects the progression of Multiple Myeloma over two years in about 160 participants.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and diarrhea, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding, nerve damage causing numbness or pain, rash, fatigue, and potential liver issues.
