What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal investigational drug. The untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of present hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is a medically important event that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of other outcomes listed in definition above, or involves suspected transmission via a medicinal product of an infectious agent. A TEAE is defined as an AE that occurs after administration of first dose of study drug and through 30 days after last dose of study drug or until start of subsequent antineoplastic therapy.

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug plus 30 days after last dose of study drug or until the initiation of subsequent antineoplastic therapy (Up to approximately 13 months)

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormal Laboratory Values Reported as TEAE

    The number of participants with any clinically significant abnormal standard safety laboratory values collected throughout the study reported as TEAEs. Parameters assessed were hematology, serum chemistry and urinalysis. Abnormal laboratory values were assessed as an AE if that value leads to discontinuation or delay in treatment, dose modification, therapeutic intervention, or is considered by the investigator to be a clinically significant change from baseline.

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug plus 30 days after last dose of study drug or until the initiation of subsequent antineoplastic therapy (Up to approximately 13 months)

  3. Number of Participants With Peripheral Neuropathy Reported as a TEAE

    Neurotoxicity was assessed as the number of participants with the TEAE of peripheral neuropathy.

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug plus 30 days after last dose of study drug or until the initiation of subsequent antineoplastic therapy (Up to approximately 13 months)

  4. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Ixazomib

    MTD was highest dose of Ixazomib, at which <=1 of 6 participants experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). DLT was defined using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, v 4.03 as: Grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <500 cells/mm^3) for >7 days;Grade 3 neutropenia with fever or infection;Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelets < 25,000/mm^3) for >7 days;Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with clinically significant bleeding;platelet count <10,000/mm^3;Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy with pain or >=Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy; >=Grade 3 nausea/emesis, diarrhea controlled by supportive therapy;Grade 3 QTc prolongation (QTc >500 msec);any >=Grade 3 nonhematologic toxicity except Grade 3 arthralgia/myalgia;or <1 week Grade 3 fatigue;delay in initiation of the subsequent therapy cycle by >2 weeks;other >=Grade 2 study drug-related nonhematologic toxicities requiring therapy discontinuation, considered possibly related to therapy as assessed by Investigator.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (28 days)

  5. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of Ixazomib

    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). The RP2D of Ixazomib was determined in dose escalation group on the basis of the totality of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data observed in Cycle 1.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (28 days)

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for Ixazomib

    Measured: Cycle 1: Day 1 (MTD cohort participants only, 4.0 mg) and Day 15 (all participants enrolled in the study): predose (within 1 hour (hr) before dosing), and postdose at multiple timepoints up to 168 hr

  8. Number of Participants With Best Organ Response to Treatment Based on Investigators Assessment

    Organ response rate was estimated as the number of participants with documented organ response (ie. Heart or kidney ). Treatment response of amyloid-related organs were identified based on national cancer institute, common terminology criteria for adverse events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.02 criteria.

    Measured: At Cycles 3, 6, 9, and 12; every 6 months thereafter until disease progression or the initiation of subsequent antineoplastic therapy and at end of treatment (EOT) visit (Up to approximately 12 months)

  9. Number of Participants With Best Hematologic Response to Treatment Based on Investigators Assessment

    The overall hematologic response rate is defined as number of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or very good partial response (VGPR) as assessed by the investigator. Response is determined according to standardized criteria using a central laboratory. CR=serum and urine negative for monoclonal protein by immunofixation; or free light chain ratio normal; < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow without clonal dominance. PR=reduction in dFLC > 50%. VGPR= dFLC < 40 mg/L.
