Mezigdomide Plus Ixazomib and Dexamethasone for Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Mezigdomide (MEZI), a novel oral CELMoD® agent with enhanced tumoricidal and immune-stimulatory effects compared to immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs®), induces maximal degradation of Ikaros and Aiolos, leading to increased apoptosis in myeloma cells.

Ixazomib, a second-generation proteasome inhibitor, is used primarily in the treatment of multiple myeloma. This activity outlines the mechanism of action, indications, and contraindications for ixazomib as a valuable agent for treating multiple myeloma.

Corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone and prednisone, are an important part of the treatment of multiple myeloma. They can be used alone or combined with other drugs as a part of treatment. Corticosteroids are also used to help decrease the nausea and vomiting that chemo might cause.
