Brief Summary

This study is designed to compare progression-free survival (PFS) from randomization among patients randomized on the BMT CTN 1302 protocol, "Multicenter Phase II, Double-blind Placebo Controlled Trial of Maintenance Ixazomib after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for High Risk Multiple Myeloma". It is hypothesized that Ixazomib maintenance therapy will result in improved PFS in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) compared to placebo.

Detailed Description

The study is designed as a Phase II, multi-center double-blind trial that randomizes patients with high risk Multiple Myeloma to Ixazomib maintenance or placebo 60-120 days after allogeneic HSCT. The primary objective of this randomized trial is to compare progression free survival from randomization as a time to event endpoint between patients randomized to Ixazomib maintenance or placebo. Secondary objectives are to describe for each treatment arm: rates of grade II-IV and III-IV Graft-Versus-Host-Disease (GVHD), chronic GVHD, best disease response rates, disease progression, transplant related mortality, overall survival, rates of Grade ≥ 3 toxicity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0, incidence of infections, and health-related quality of life.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Allogeneic HSCT

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

Eligible patients with a Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-matched related or unrelated donor will undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant at Day 0. For GVHD prophylaxis, patients will be given Tacrolimus from Day -3 until at least 6 months following initiation, at an intravenous daily dose of 0.015 mg/kg. This will be combined with an intravenous administration of Methotrexate at 5 mg/m2 on Days +1, +3, +6, and +11.

Fludarabine

Intervention Type: DRUG

Patients will receive conditioning treatment before and after HSCT. Fludarabine will be given at 30 mg/m2 intravenously on Day -6 through Day -3.

Melphalan

Intervention Type: DRUG

Melphalan will be given at 70 mg/m2 intravenously on Days -4 and -3.

Ixazomib

Intervention Type: DRUG

Between 60 and 120 days following HSCT, patients randomized to the experimental arm will receive Ixazomib maintenance. Maintenance will begin at 3-mg oral doses on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. This will increase to 4-mg doses on the same cycle schedule, following successful completion of 3 cycles at the previous dosage, for a total of 12 cycles.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Patients must meet one of the following disease criteria:

a. Patients with high risk multiple myeloma in partial response (PR) or better with no prior progression and are ≤ 24.0 months after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) (single or planned tandem), or are ≤ 24.0 months after initiation of systemic anti-myeloma therapy for patients without prior autologous HCT; or

i. High risk is defined by the presence of any one of the following detected at any time prior to enrollment: deletion of chromosome 13 by conventional cytogenetics, hypodiploidy, abnormality in chromosome 1(1q amplification or 1p deletion), t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20) or deletion of 17p by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or conventional karyotyping; high risk criteria based on commercially available gene expression profiling (GEP)

b. Patients with high risk multiple myeloma (see criterion 2.a.i. above) in very good partial response (VGPR) or better with 1 prior progression which occurred ≤ 24.0 months after autologous HCT (single or planned tandem), or ≤ 24.0 months after initiation of systemic anti-myeloma therapy for patients without prior autologous HCT; or

i. Patients with one prior progression without measurable monoclonal paraprotein at the time of disease progression or relapse (< 1.0 g/dl in serum or < 200 mg/24hrs in urine) may be considered to have met VGPR criteria if < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow and ≥ 90% decrease in the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain (FLC) levels from baseline (time of progression/relapse).

ii. In patients with immunoglobulin G (IgG) kappa multiple myeloma (MM) receiving daratumumab: International Myeloma Working Group criteria for VGPR may not be achieved since daratumumab is known to increase the IgG kappa spike. In such cases the FLC and marrow may be used to establish VGPR, as above, with prior approval from the protocol co-chairs.

c. Patients with standard risk multiple myeloma in VGPR or better (see criteria 2.b.i. and 2.b.ii. above) at the time of enrollment with 1 prior progression ≤ 24.0 months from single or planned tandem autologous HCT; or d. Patients with primary plasma cell leukemia in VGPR or better with no prior disease progression and are ≤ 18.0 months after autologous HCT, or are ≤ 18.0 months after initiation of anti-myeloma therapy without prior autologous HCT.

2. Patients must have a related or unrelated peripheral blood stem cell donor that meet one of the following criteria:

1. A sibling donor who is a 6/6 match at HLA-A and -B (intermediate or higher resolution) and -DR Beta 1 (DRB1) (at high resolution using DNA-based typing) and must be willing to donate peripheral blood stem cells and meet institutional criteria for donation OR

2. A related donor (other than sibling) who is a 8/8 match for HLA-A, -B, -C (at intermediate or higher resolution) and -DRB1 (at high resolution using DNA-based typing) and must be willing to donate peripheral blood stem cells and meet institutional criteria for donation OR

6. Liver function: total bilirubin < 2x the upper limit of normal and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 2.5x the upper normal limit (Patients with Gilbert's Disease are permitted to exceed the defined bilirubin value of 2x the upper limit of normal, however measurements of direct bilirubin should be done to confirm this diagnosis).

7. Female subjects (unless postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, or surgically sterilized), agree to practice two (2) effective methods of contraception at the same time, 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) through 90 days after the last dose of maintenance therapy (see Section 2.6.2 for definition of postmenopausal).

Male subjects (even if surgically sterilized) must agree to one of the following: practice effective barrier contraception (see Section 2.6.4.1 for list of barrier methods), or 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 from the time of signing the informed consent through 90 days after last dose of maintenance therapy.

9. Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
