Carfilzomib, Bendamustine Hydrochloride, and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Summary

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best doses of carfilzomib and bendamustine hydrochloride when given together with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned or does not respond to treatment. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work to stop the growth of cancer cells by killing the cells. Biological therapies, such as dexamethasone, may stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving carfilzomib, bendamustine hydrochloride, and dexamethasone may be a better way to treat multiple myeloma.
