  • Ixazomib with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone for Treating Relapsed Or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
    CONFIDENTIAL UNTIL PUBLISHED NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE Final appraisal determination Ixazomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma 1 Recommendations 1.1 Ixazomib, with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, is recommended for use within the Cancer Drugs Fund as an option for treating multiple myeloma in adults only if: they have already had 2 or 3 lines of therapy and the conditions in the managed access agreement for ixazomib are followed. 1.2 This recommendation is not intended to affect treatment with ixazomib that was started in the NHS before this guidance was published. People having treatment outside this recommendation may continue without change to the funding arrangements in place for them before this guidance was published, until they and their NHS clinician consider it appropriate to stop. Why the committee made these recommendations Ixazomib, with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, has a marketing authorisation to treat multiple myeloma in people who have already had 1 or more lines of therapy. But it is likely to be used only for people who have already had 2 or 3 lines of therapy, for whom current treatment is lenalidomide plus dexamethasone, so the appraisal focused on this population. Final appraisal determination – Ixazomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma Page 1 of 20 Issue date: December 2017 © NICE 2017. All rights reserved. Subject to Notice of rights. CONFIDENTIAL UNTIL PUBLISHED The main clinical trial is ongoing. For people who have already had 2 or 3 lines of therapy, ixazomib (with lenalidomide and dexamethasone) increases the length of time they live without their disease progressing, when compared with lenalidomide plus dexamethasone alone.

Is the evidence adequate to demonstrate that the net health benefit of treatment with any of the three regimens listed below is greater than that of treatment with lenalidomide and dexamethasone: o carfilzomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone; o elotuzumab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone; or o ixazomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. 2. Is the evidence adequate to distinguish the net health benefit of treatment between these three regimens: o carfilzomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone; o elotuzumab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone; or o ixazomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone? For adults with multiple myeloma who are not currently on maintenance treatment, are not being considered for stem cell transplant, and whose disease has not responded to or has relapsed following two or more lines of therapy: 3.
