Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works when given together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the overall response rate (\>= partial response \[PR\]) of pembrolizumab in combination with standard doses of ixazomib citrate (ixazomib) and dexamethasone, in patients with relapsed symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the \>= very good partial response (VGPR) and complete response (CR) rate of pembrolizumab added to standard doses of ixazomib and dexamethasone in relapsed myeloma.
II. To determine the progression free survival and overall survival among patients with relapsed MM following treatment with the combination of pembrolizumab, ixazomib and dexamethasone.
III. To determine the toxicities associated with pembrolizumab added to standard doses of ixazomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed MM.
CORRELATIVE RESEARCH:
I. PDL-1 expression on myeloma cells and non-tumor cell compartments from the bone marrow will be assessed at baseline.
II. Measures of T-cell activation/exhaustion will be assessed at baseline and after cycle 1 and cycle 3.
III. Natural killer (NK) cell function and numbers will be evaluated at baseline and after cycle 1 and cycle 3.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive ixazomib citrate orally (PO) on days 1, 8, 15, 29, 36, 43, 57, 64, and 71 and pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 22, 43, 64. Patients also receive dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, 29, 36, 43, 57, 64, and 71. Cycles with dexamethasone repeat every 84 days for up to 1 year and cycles with ixazomib citrate and pembrolizumab repeat every 84 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months until progressive disease, and then every 6 months for up to 2 years.
