Etentamig (ABBV-383)
This new clinical trial will compare outcomes in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who receive either monotherapy with the new drug Etentamig (ABBV-383) or standard available myeloma therapies. This phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label study will enroll approximately 380 patients with RRMM at sites around the world. Primary outcome measures are progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR).

A phase 1b/2 study of selinexor (KPT-330) in combination with backbone treatments for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
Kyprolis® (Carfilzomib)
Kyprolis® (carfilzomib) is the second drug to have been developed in a new class of drugs called proteasome inhibitors and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Proteasome inhibitors work by blocking the activity of enzyme complexes called proteasomes. Both normal cells and cancer cells contain proteasomes, which break down damaged and unwanted proteins into smaller components. Proteasomes also carry out the regulated breakdown of undamaged proteins in the cell, a process that is necessary for the control of many critical cellular functions. These smaller components are then used to create new proteins required by the cell. Proteasomes can be thought of as crucial to the cell’s “recycling” of proteins.

NCT02181413: A study of oral ixazomib citrate (MLN9708) maintenance therapy in patients with multiple myeloma following autologous stem cell transplant
Active, Not Recruiting
In this phase III study, patients who have had any type of positive response to induction therapy followed by high-dose therapy with stem cell transplant will be randomly assigned by a computer to receive either a placebo (a capsule that looks like ixazomib but has no active ingredient) or ixazomib, an oral proteasome inhibitor, as maintenance therapy. This is a double-blind study, meaning that neither the patient, nor the caregiver, nor the doctor, nor those who evaluate the trial outcome know if the patient is receiving ixazomib or placebo.
