Study of Oral Ixazomib in Combination With Melphalan and Prednisone in Participants With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
An Open-Label, Dose-Escalation, Phase 1/2 Study of the Oral Form of Ixazomib (MLN9708), a Next-Generation Proteasome Inhibitor, Administered in Combination With a Standard Care Regimen of Melphalan and Prednisone in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Requiring Systemic Treatment

Brief Summary
The purpose of this phase 1/2, open-label study was to evaluate the effect of oral formulation of Ixazomib when added to standard melphalan and prednisone (MP) treatment. Both phases of the study included participants who had newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and were ineligible for high-dose therapy plus stem cell transplantation because of age (≥65 years of age) or coexisting conditions and for whom standard MP treatment was indicated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of Ixazomib (Phase 1)
The RP2D is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or less. The MTD is defined as the dose range at which ≤ 1 of 6 evaluable participants experience dose limiting toxicities (DLT) within the first 28 days of treatment (end of Cycle 1).
Cycle 1, phase 1 (Up to 42 days)
Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) or Better Response Rate (Phase 2)
VGPR or better response rate is defined as percentage of participants with a complete response (CR) and very good partial response (VGPR). Per International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG), CR: 1) Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine, 2) Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and 3) \< 5% plasma cells in bone marrow. VGPR: Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or 90% or greater reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein level \< 100 mg per 24 hour.
Day 1 of every other cycle from Day 1 of Cycle 2 (each cycle of 28 days) until death (Up to 5.5 years)
