Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase I trial studies the best dose of CB-839 HCl when given together with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back or does not respond to previous treatment. CB-839 HCl and carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer 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 CB-839 HCl, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or isn't responding to treatment. They must have had at least two prior treatments, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug. Participants need adequate blood counts, organ function, and agree to use effective contraception. Those who can't join include those intolerant to carfilzomib, on other trials, with uncontrolled illnesses, pregnant or nursing women, and those with certain medical conditions.

Interventions

  • Carfilzomib (Proteasome Inhibitor)
  • CB-839 HCl (Enzyme Inhibitor)
  • Dexamethasone (Corticosteroid)
Trial OverviewThe trial tests the best dose of CB-839 HCl combined with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in patients whose multiple myeloma has relapsed or is refractory. The goal is to find out if this combination can better halt cancer growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth compared to current treatments.
