We found that NFKB2-ANK and -DD are crucial at initiating bortezomib's apoptotic signal by facilitating caspase-8 activation (unpublished data). Interim analysis demonstrates a trend higher efficacy and significantly better PFS in ixazomib with dexamethasone in MM patients with negative NFKB2 break-apart FISH compared to those with a positive test. Efficacy and toxicity of the triplet regimen are somewhat lower than what is seen in the Tourmaline 1 trial. This study is registered clinicaltrials.gov# NCT02765854
We found that NFKB2-ANK and -DD are crucial at initiating bortezomib's apoptotic signal by facilitating caspase-8 activation (unpublished data). Interim analysis demonstrates a trend higher efficacy and ≥G3 toxicity of ixazomib with dexamethasone in MM patients with negative NFKB2 break-apart FISH compared to those with a positive test. Efficacy and toxicity of the triplet regimen are comparable to what is seen in the Tourmaline 1 trial. This study is registered clinicaltrials.gov# NCT02765854
