Brief summary

This phase II trial studies how well pomalidomide, ixazomib citrate, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with previously treated multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia. Biological therapies, such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pomalidomide, ixazomib citrate, and dexamethasone together may be more effective in treating multiple myeloma.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the confirmed response rate (\>= partial response \[PR\]) of ixazomib citrate (ixazomib), used in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma (MM) with extramedullary disease. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the toxicities associated with ixazomib in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with previously treated MM with extramedullary disease. II. To determine the differential response rates (biochemical versus extramedullary disease) with ixazomib in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with previously treated MM with extramedullary disease. III. To determine the progression free survival following treatment with ixazomib in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with previously treated MM with extramedullary disease. TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the proportion of patients achieving minimal residual disease (MRD) negative status. OUTLINE: Patients receive ixazomib citrate orally (PO) on days 1, 8, and 15, pomalidomide PO on days 1-21, and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 or 6 months for up to 3 years.

The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
