Start Date
1/22/2026
Completion Date
5/1/2028
Summary
This phase II trial compares the effect of rifaximin to no intervention for the treatment of IgA monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Rifaximin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy (antineoplastic antibiotic). It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells or precancerous cells like those found with MGUS. Giving rifaximin may kill more precancerous cells in patients with IgA MGUS.
Detailed Description
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM A: Patients receive rifaximin orally (PO) three times daily (TID) for 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo blood sample collection throughout the study. ARM B: Patients undergo blood sample collection throughout the study. After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 90 days.
