Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of colesevelam and find out what effects, if any, colesevelam has on lenalidomide associated diarrhea in participants with multiple myeloma on lenalidomide maintenance.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Participants with Myeloma

Individuals with Myeloma on lenalidomide maintenance who experience grade 2 or more diarrhea

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Colesevelam Pill

Intervention Type DRUG

For treatment with colesevelam, the starting dose will be 1250 mg (2 x 625 mg) with food which can be increased to 6 tablets max per day based on efficacy and tolerability. Coleveselam should not be taken within 4 hours before or after lenalidomide and other interacting medications. All participants will be given a pill diary to record intake of colesevelam. The effect of colesevelam on lenalidomide-associated diarrhea will be evaluated after 1, 2, 4, 12 weeks after start of treatment. If the diarrhea does not respond to the starting dose of colesevelam, the dose can be increased every 2 days to 2 tablets two times per day (2 x 625 mg BID) and later to 3 tablets two times per day (3 x 625 mg BID). The colesevelam dose can be decrease to 1 tablet per day if there has been improvement of diarrhea but emergence of side effects.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma
* Treatment with single agent lenalidomide maintenance
* Patient must be \>/= 18 years of age at the time of informed consent
* Experiencing grade 1 or more diarrhea according to the CTCAE 5.0 criteria for at least 4 out of 7 days preceding screening and study inclusion
* Scheduled to receive lenalidomide maintenance cyles at MSK
* Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with history of bowel obstruction
* Patients with serum triglyceride levels \>300 mg/dL
* Patients wit history of hypertriglyceridemia-induced panreatitis
* Patients with known hypersensitivity to colesevelam or any component to the formulation
* Patients currently already receiving a bile acid sequestrant or have previously used bile acid sequestrant drugs for diarrhea and had no benefit
* Patients with diarrhea secondary to infection. Stool studies for GI pathogens should be collected prior to starting colesevelam but do not need to be resulted prior to starting Day 1 dose of colesevelam, unless infection is suspected by the treating investigator, in which case (Clostridium difficile PCR when clinically indicated, GI pathogen panel, stool ova and parasites, Giardia and Cryptosporum stool antigen tests will need to be resulted at investigator discretion.)
