Ixazomib in combination with daratumumab and dexamethasone for the treatment of RRMM
Bookmark this article

Ixazomib, an oral proteasome inhibitor, is approved in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of MM after ≥1 prior therapy. However, lenalidomide is also commonly used in the first-line and lenalidomide-refractory disease is frequent, highlighting the need for lenalidomide-free alternatives in the relapsed/refractory setting. Data from a phase II study (NCT03439293) evaluating ixazomib in combination with daratumumab and dexamethasone (IDd) in RRMM, including those with hard-to-treat and lenalidomide-refractory disease, were presented in the American Journal of Hematology by Delimpasi et al.1

| Key learnings: |
|
At the final analysis of this phase II trial, ORR was 64.4%, with a ≥VGPR of 30.5% in response-evaluable patients treated with IDd (n = 59). |
|
Response rates among the subgroups analyzed were 53.3% in patients with high-risk cytogenetics, 58.3% in patients with expanded high-risk cytogenetics, 50.0% in patients aged ≥75 years, and 61.9% in lenalidomide-refractory patients. |
|
The median PFS for patients treated with IDd was 16.8 months. Median PFS was comparable in those with high-risk cytogenetics (8.7 months) and in those refractory to lenalidomide (12.6 months). |
|
54.1% of patients experienced Grade ≥3 TEAEs, with 1.6% of patients having Grade ≥3 peripheral neuropathy. |
|
TEAEs led to dose modifications, reductions, and discontinuations in 62.3%, 36.1%, and 16.4% of patients, respectively. |
|
Data presented highlight the IDd regimen as a tolerable treatment option for patients with RRMM, including for those with high-risk features. As an all-oral, lenalidomide-free option, it provides an alternative for potentially difficult to treat patients. |
