Brief Summary

This study will look at the safety and tolerability of the new drug MLN9708 in combination with the existing drugs panobinostat and dexamethasone among patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This study will also look at the response and clinical benefit of the treatment and the progression-free survival and overall survival of study participants.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to define the tolerability and safety of MLN9708 (ixazomib) administered on a day 1,8,15 every 28 day schedule up to 4mg in combination with fixed doses of panobinostat and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma.

The secondary objectives of this study are to assess response and clinical benefit response rates according to international uniform response criteria and adapted EBMT criteria, respectively. And to assess progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

• Clinically euthyroid. Note: Patients are permitted to receive thyroid hormone supplements to treat underlying hypothyroidism.
• Baseline MUGA or ECHO must demonstrate LVEF ≥ 45%
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to start of study treatment
• Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post vasectomy), have to either:

• Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 4 months after the last dose of study treatment, OR
• Must also adhere to the guidelines of any treatment-specific pregnancy prevention program, if applicable, OR
• Agree to practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
• Female patients have to fulfill one of the following:

• Be postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the Screening visit, OR
• Be surgically sterile, OR
• If of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 90 days after the last dose of study treatment
• Oral contraceptives are generally metabolized by CYP3A4. Since the induction potential of panobinostat to induce CYP3A4 is unknown, patients who are using oral contraceptives as a method of contraception, and are sexually active, should use another effective contraceptive method, AND Must also adhere to the guidelines of any treatment-specific pregnancy prevention program, if applicable, OR
• Agree to practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)
