Determining the Feasibility of MLN9708 as Maintenance After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Myeloma

Open-Label Study to Determine the Feasibility of MLN9708 as Maintenance After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Myeloma, Followed by an Expansion Phase at the Maximum-Tolerated Dose (MTD) - A Phase II Study

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of MLN9708 as maintenance therapy following allogeneic stem cell transplant in patients with multiple myeloma.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Multiple Myeloma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: MLN9708

Detailed Description

Although multiple myeloma is considered fatal, survival has dramatically improved over the last two decades with the introduction of more effective treatment options. Proteasome inhibitors have an anti-myeloma effect and are often used as either initial treatment or at relapse in patients with multiple myeloma. MLN9708 is an orally bioavailable, potent, reversible inhibitor of the 20S proteasome. Phase I studies have shown MLN9708 to be very well tolerated with minimal peripheral neuropathy. It has also shown impressive anti-myeloma activity in both the relapsed/refractory setting and the upfront setting (Kumar et al. 2011, Berdeja et al. 2011, Richardson et al. 2011). These characteristics make MLN9708 an ideal proteasome inhibitor to use after allogeneic stem cell transplant. In this Phase II, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study the investigators will investigate the role of MLN9708 as maintenance after allogeneic stem cell transplant in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma, and in patients with multiple myeloma who have relapsed after an autologous stem cell transplant.
