Brief summary:
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of cyclophosphamide when given together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone in treating patients with previously untreated symptomatic multiple myeloma or light chain amyloidosis. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cyclophosphamide together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone may be a better treatment for multiple myeloma or light chain amyloidosis.

Background 
 
1.1 
Multiple Myeloma: Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of the differentiated plasma cells, 
that affect the older patient with a median age at onset of 65-70 years and a slight male 
predominance. Nearly 20,000 patients with myeloma are diagnosed in the United States 
each year, and despite considerable improvements in therapy remains incurable and 
uniformly fatal with a median overall survival of around 8 years. Recent improvements in 
therapies have significantly improved the survival outcomes, but given the inevitable 
relapses seen in these patients, new approaches to therapy are clearly needed. The highly 
effective drug combinations currently used are beset with a degree of toxicity that 
precludes long-term therapy and also can affect the quality of life metrics. Finally, some 
of these regimens require IV or subcutaneous administration, which can require frequent 
clinic, visits for patients. The highly effective multi-drug regimens currently in use 
typically include a proteasome inhibitor, either bortezomib given IV or SQ or carfilzomib 
given IV. 
 
1.2 
The ubiquitin proteasome pathway in multiple myeloma: The ubiquitin-proteasome 
pathway is critical to cellular homeostasis, playing a major role in maintaining 
appropriate levels of different proteins in the cell.1,2 The ubiquitin-proteasome system is 
responsible for the orderly degradation of cellular proteins involved in virtually all 
aspects of cell growth and proliferation. The pathway degrades proteins involved in cell 
cycle regulation, cell survival, and metastasis such as p53, p21, p27 and NFkB. Ubiquitin 
is a 9kd protein that is abundantly present in the cell and is highly evolutionary 
conserved. Cellular proteins that are marked for degradation gets polyubiquitinated; 
where C-terminal glycine residues of the ubiquitin molecules attach covalently to specific 
lysine residues on the protein molecule. This three step process sequentially involves the 
ubiquitin activating enzyme E1, an ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 and an ubiquitin 
ligase E3. The first ubiquitin molecule forms the nidus for additional ubiquitin molecules 
to be attached. Once, polyubiquitinated, the protein is targeted by the 26S proteasome for 
degradation, an active energy requiring process that maintains protein levels in the cell. 
The 26S proteasome in the mammalian cells consists of a core 20S catalytic complex and 
a 19S regulatory complex. It is a cylindrical structure with an outer ring composed of 7 
alpha subunits and an inner ring that is made up of seven beta subunits. The 20S catalytic 
portion has chymotryptic, tryptic and peptidylglutamyl like activities, with the catalytic 
sites located in the inner surface of the cylinder. The ubiquitinated protein is recognized 
by the 19S subunit, the ubiquitin tags are cleaved, and the protein is hydrolyzed by the 
proteasome at six different catalytic sites present in the 20S catalytic complex. In vitro 
studies in a variety of cancers demonstrate the ability of proteasome inhibitors to 
selectively target the malignant cells supporting this strategy for cancer therapy. The 
mechanism of selectivity is not clear, but may be related to increased dependency of 
rapidly proliferating cells on the pathway. Bortezomib was the first proteasome inhibitor 
to enter human trials.3 
 
In the setting of MM, several in vitro studies have shown the ability of proteasome 
inhibitors to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of MM cell lines and freshly 
isolated patient MM cells as well as overcome adhesion mediated resistance.4 They can 
inhibit the paracrine growth of human MM cells by decreasing their adherence to bone 
marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and related nuclear factor B-dependent induction of 
interleukin-6 secretion by BMSCs. The mechanism of anti-MM activity of proteasome 
inhibitors are likely multiple. Transcriptional profiling of MM cells treated with 
bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor currently in the clinic, demonstrated down-regulation

of growth/survival signaling pathways, and up-regulation of molecules implicated in pro-
apoptotic cascades, as well as up-regulation of heat-shock proteins and 
ubiquitin/proteasome pathway members. In addition, treatment decreased the levels of 
several anti-apoptotic proteins and triggered the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c 
and caspase-9 activation, all contributing to apoptosis of MM cells. One of the key effects 
is thought to be the inhibition of the NFkB pathway, which is critical to the MM cell 
proliferation induced by growth factors as well as adhesion to BMSC. Other purported 
mechanisms include (i) activation of classical stress response proteins such as heat shock 
proteins, Hsp27, Hsp70, and Hsp90; (ii) up regulation of c-Jun-NH2-terminal kinase 
(JNK); (iii) activation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling through Bid and caspase-8 
cleavage; and (iv) inactivation of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), which is 
essential for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. 
 
1.3 
Initial therapy of multiple myeloma: The treatment paradigms for multiple myeloma 
have undergone a significant change in the past decade.5,6 A decade ago, patients who 
were considered eligible for transplant underwent the procedure after a brief duration of 
therapy with a steroid based regimen with or without doxorubicin. Patients ineligible for 
transplant went on to receive melphalan and prednisone. With these treatment approaches 
patients had a median survival of 3-4 years, with nearly 10-20% of patients dying in the 
first year after diagnosis. During the last decade several new drugs were introduced such 
as thalidomide and its analogue lenalidomide and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib 
and these along with continued use of transplant has led to improved survival in 
myeloma.7 In fact, in the recent clinical trials 3-year survival has approached 90% and 1-
year mortality has dropped to under 2%.8 This progress has come through a series of 
investigations examining the efficacy of the new drugs used in various combinations and 
sequences. Initial trials in the relapsed setting confirmed significant clinical activity for 
all these new drugs. This was followed by several clinical trials that examined the 
combination of novel agents with dexamethasone in the setting of newly diagnosed 
disease. The studies consistently demonstrated superior response rates, deeper responses, 
and improved progression-free survival for patients undergoing initial therapy with novel 
agents.8-11 The trials examined the role of the new drugs in the context of transplant 
eligible and ineligible patients. This has been followed by three drug regimens that either 
combined the new drugs together or incorporated an alkylator drug to the novel agent-
dexamethasone combination. These have included combinations of bortezomib and 
dexamethasone with thalidomide (VTD), lenalidomide (VRd) or cyclophosphamide 
(VCD).9,10,12,13 
 
Of particular interest are the VCd and VRd regimens, both of which have shown high 
efficacy rates and are increasingly used for initial therapy in the community.9,13 In a phase 
2 study, Reeder et al showed that initial therapy with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and 
dexamethasone is associated with high rate of deep responses among patients with 
previously untreated myeloma, being considered for autologous stem cell transplantation. 
Similarly, VRd regimen has been associated with high response rates approaching 100% 
and deep responses with very good partial response rates and complete response rates of 
over 70 and 40% respectively. It has proven to be a highly effective initial therapy for 
patients planning stem cell transplantation with no significant effect on the ability to 
successfully mobilize stem cells.  
 
In the EVOLUTION trial, patients were randomized to receive bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 d 
1, 4, 8, 11 and dexamethasone 40 mg d 1, 8, 15, with either cyclophosphamide 500 
mg/m2 d 1, 8 and lenalidomide 15 mg d 1–14 (VDCR), lenalidomide 25 mg d1-14 (VRd),

cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 d 1, 8 (VCD) or cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 d 1, 8, 15 
(VCD-mod) in a 21 day cycle (maximum 8 cycles).13,14 This was followed by bortezomib 
1.3 mg/m2 (d 1, 8, 15, 22) for four 42-day maintenance cycles in all arms. VGPR or better 
was seen in 58, 51, 41 and 53% (CR rate of 25, 24, 22 and 47%) of patients (VDCR, 
VRd, VCD 8-and VCD-mod arms, respectively); the corresponding progression-free 
survival (PFS) at 1 year was 86, 83, 93 and 100%, respectively. Common adverse events 
included hematological toxicities, peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, and GI disturbances. 
Overall no substantial advantage was noted with the addition of cyclophosphamide to 
VRd, but the regimen did lead to more hematological toxicities. An important outcome of 
this trial was the similar results obtained with the VRd and VCd regimens, especially 
considering the cost differential between the two regimens. 
 
 
1.4 
Light chain amyloidosis: Light chain amyloidosis is characterized by light chain 
secreting plasma cells in the bone marrow, usually in small numbers, but leading to 
formation and deposition of amyloid protein in different organs including the heart, 
kidneys and liver. While therapeutic options have improved over time and patients with 
AL are living longer, it remains incurable and patients invariably need additional 
therapeutic options. The median survival of patients with AL amyloidosis is 18-24 
months with nearly 40% dying within the first year of diagnosis. 1-4. Traditionally, 
therapies that have appeared to be promising for treatment of patients with myeloma have 
been studied in the context of amyloidosis, given the fundamental similarities in the 
disease.  
 
The combination of melphalan and prednisone has been in use for decades and results in 
approximately 20-30% of patients achieving a measurable response 5-7.  Several 
prospective randomized studies have demonstrated that chemotherapy-treated patients 
have a longer median survival than patients who do not receive chemotherapy 8-10.  The 
median survival of the melphalan- and prednisone (MP) treated group of patients in a 
phase III trial conducted at Mayo Clinic was 17 months compared to 8.5 months for those 
not receiving MP9. Even though this represented a significant improvement, the outcome 
still remained dismal and patients with significant cardiac disease had a median survival 
of only six months. Patients in this trial who achieved a reduction in their paraprotein 
level had a longer survival compared to those who did not highlighting the importance of 
hematologic response. A similar trial conducted at the Boston University resulted in 
similar improvements with Melphalan and prednisone10. Majority of patients fail to 
demonstrate objective evidence of disease regression and ultimately succumb to their 
disease.  
 
High dose therapy and melphalan with autologous peripheral blood stem cell 
transplantation has been used for treatment of amyloidosis, given its efficacy and survival 
advantage in patients with multiple myeloma 11-13.  Case controlled studies have 
demonstrated that high dose therapy improves survival in patients with amyloidosis who 
are eligible to go through the procedure 14. Stem cell transplant results in improvement 
in the organ function in over half of the patients who survive the process13. Many of 
these responses also tend to be durable. However, there remains considerable selection 
bias as case controlled studies have shown that patients eligible for a stem cell transplant 
have better overall performance status and are likely to do better than the average patient 
even with out stem cell transplant15. Moreover, this modality is not feasible in nearly two 
thirds of AL patients due to poor performance status and advanced organ involvement. 
The risk of mortality is considerable (20-40% in different series) and increases with the

degree of individual organ involvement as well as the number of organs involved. So 
alternative, effective and less toxic regimens are needed for the majority of patients with 
this disease. 
 
More recently, studies have highlighted the role of proteasome inhibitors in the treatment 
of AL amyloidosis. This agent is of particular importance given the ability to reduce 
immunoglobulin free light chain levels and the critical role of the free light chains in the 
amyloid pathophysiology. Bortezomib has been used in combination with dexamethasone 
alone or cyclophosphamide or melphalan along with dexamethasone.  Kastritis et al 
reported on 94 patients from three centers treated with bortezomib and dexamethasone, 
with nearly 80% of the patients with relapsed disease.16 A hematologic response was 
achieved in 71%, including 25% complete responses. Previously untreated patients had a 
47% CR rate. Hematologic responses were associated with a cardiac response and NT-
proBNP reduction. Toxicity was manageable and mostly consisted of neuropathy, 
orthostasis, peripheral edema, and constipation or diarrhea. Reece et al studied 31 
patients in a dose escalation study of bortezomib given weekly or twice weekly and 
observed hematologic responses in 50% of 30 evaluable patients, including 20% 
complete responses.17 More recently, Venner et al studied 43 patients treated with AL 
cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone.18 The overall hematologic response 
rate was 81.4%, including complete response in 42% and very good partial in 51.4%. The 
estimated 2-year progression-free survival was 66.5% for patients treated upfront and 
41.4% for relapsed patients.  
 
Ixazomib is the first oral proteasome inhibitor introduced in the clinic, and is currently 
approved for use in relapsed myeloma. Ixazomib has been evaluated as an oral single 
agent in phase 1 studies that have included patients with advanced solid tumors, 
lymphoma, relapse/refractory MM (RRMM), and relapsed or refractory light-chain (AL) 
amyloidosis and demonstrated early signs of activity.19,20 Ixazomib has also been 
studied alone and in combination with dexamethasone in patients with relapsed disease 
not refractory to bortezomib. Thirty-three patients with relapsed multiple myeloma were 
treated with Ixazomib at 5.5 mg weekly for 3 of 4 weeks. Dexamethasone was added for 
lack of a minor response (MR) by end of cycle 2 or lack of a partial response (PR) by end 
of cycle 4 or for disease progression at any time. Median age was 69 years; patients had a 
median of two prior therapies (range 1-7). Dexamethasone was initiated in 22 (67%) 
patients, 17 for not reaching the desired response and 5 for progression. Response (⩾PR) 
to single agent was seen in five patients within four cycles of therapy including three 
patients with PR, one patient with complete response (CR) and one patient with stringent 
CR. Six additional patients with either an MR (2) or SD (4) achieved a PR after addition 
of dexamethasone, translating to an overall response rate of 34%. Ongoing studies 
continue to investigate both single-agent Ixazomib and Ixazomib in combination with 
standard treatments. A recently reported phase 3 trial of Ixazomib in combination with 
lenalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed myeloma with 1-3 prior treatments 
demonstrated a significant improvement in PFS. Previously a phase 2 trial of the same 
combination in newly diagnosed myeloma was very effective with high rate of responses, 
deep responses and well tolerated with the ability to administer the drug long term.21 
Ixazomib also appear to combine well with cyclophosphamide and has been shown to be 
effective in relapsed and newly diagnosed myeloma.  
 
1.5 
IXAZOMIBIxazomib:    Ixazomib, which has been formulated for both intravenous (IV) 
and oral (PO) administration, is a small molecule proteasome inhibitor.  It is the citrate 
ester of the biologically active boronic acid form, MLN2238, which is structurally similar

Millennium # X16009 
 
 
                     MCCC Add 13

to bortezomib.  In water or aqueous systems, Ixazomib rapidly hydrolyzes to MLN2238, 
therefore all doses and concentrations are expressed as MLN2238.  Nonclinical studies 
were conducted with a solution of either MLN2238 or MLN2238 in equilibrium with 
Ixazomib.  Similar to bortezomib, MLN2238 potently, reversibly, and selectively inhibits 
the 20S proteasome.  However in contrast to bortezomib, it has a shorter dissociation 
half-life (t1/2) that may contribute to increased tissue distribution.  Bortezomib has a 
slowly reversible dissociation rate from the red blood cell proteasome, while MLN2238 
demonstrates a more rapidly reversible dissociation rate from the blood but sustained 
effects on bone marrow and tumor proteasomes suggesting better tissue distribution.  The 
pharmacologic implications of this difference in binding kinetics and tissue distribution 
may in turn result in differences in safety and efficacy profiles in a broader range of 
tumors.  In xenograft-bearing mice, the more rapid dissociation rate correlates with an 
increased ratio of tumor proteasome inhibition to blood proteasome inhibition, and 
Ixazomib shows greater antitumor activity in several xenograft models, both solid tumor 
and bortezomib-resistant xenografts, than bortezomib.   
 
Nonclinical Pharmacology: MLN2238 refers to the biologically active, boronic acid form 
of the drug substance, Ixazomib.  Ixazomib refers to the citrate ester of MLN2238.  In 
water or aqueous systems, the equilibrium shifts from Ixazomib to the biologically active 
boronic acid form MLN2238.  All doses and concentrations are expressed as the boronic 
acid, MLN2238. 
 
In Vitro Pharmacology: MLN2238 preferentially binds the β5 site of the 20S proteasome; 
at higher concentrations, it also inhibits the activity of the β1 and β2 sites.  MLN2238 
inhibits ß5 site 20S proteasome activity in vitro, with a half-maximal inhibitory 
concentration (IC50) of 3.4 nM.  Potency is reduced roughly 10-fold versus ß1 (IC50  31 
nM) and 1,000-fold versus ß2 (IC50 =3500 nM).  MLN2238 was also tested for 
inhibition against a panel of 103 kinases, 18 receptors (neurotransmitter, ion channel, 
brain and gut receptors), and 9 serine proteases.  In all cases, the IC50 values were > 10 
μM.  MLN2238 and bortezomib have different β5 proteasome dissociation half-lives 
(t1/2), reflecting differences in their on-off binding kinetics (the β5 proteasome 
dissociation t1/2 for MLN2238 and bortezomib are 18 and 110 minutes, respectively).  
Based on these favorable characteristics, Ixazomib is anticipated to be effective against 
multiple myeloma. (Ixazomib Investigator’s Brochure (IB). Proteasome inhibition results 
in the accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated substrates within the cell and leads to cell cycle 
disruption, with concomitant activation of apoptotic pathways and cell death.  Consistent 
with inhibition of ß5 20S activity, MLN2238 demonstrated potent activity against 
cultured MDA-MB 231 human breast cancer cells in the WST cell viability assay.  In 
nonclinical models MLN2238 has activity against both solid tumor and bortezomib-
resistant xenografts 
 
In Vivo Pharmacology: To determine the activity of MLN2238 in vivo, 
pharmacodynamic studies were performed in immunocompromised mice bearing either 
CWR22 human prostate or WSU-DLCL2 (human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma 
[DLBCL]) tumors.  Pharmacodynamic responses in xenograft tumors were analyzed by 
assessing 20S proteasome inhibition and by evaluating levels of accumulated protein 
markers such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage-inducible protein 34 (GADD34) 
and activating transcription factor-3 (ATF-3) as well as measuring growth arrest.  
Increased expression of GADD34 and ATF-3 is indicative of a downstream biological 
response to proteasome inhibition.  After a single dose of MLN2238, a clear dose 
response was observed in CWR22 xenografts as seen in both tumor 20S proteasome

inhibition and in changes in GADD34 and ATF-3 expression.  In WSU-DLCL2 
xenografts, greater tumor proteasome inhibition was observed with MLN2238 compared 
to bortezomib and resulted in increased expression of GADD34 and ATF-3. MLN2238 
efficacy experiments demonstrated strong antitumor activity in 4 xenograft models: 
CWR22 (a human prostate cancer cell line) and 3 human lymphoma cell lines (WSU-
DLCL2, OCI-Ly7-7D1-luc, and PHTX-22L).  In the case of the CWR22 xenograft 
model, significant antitumor activity was seen with both IV and PO dosing, 
demonstrating that this molecule has antitumor activity when administered via different 
dosing routes.  In all 3 lymphoma lines, MLN2238 demonstrated stronger antitumor 
activity than did bortezomib. In summary, MLN2238, similar to bortezomib, is a 
dipeptide boronic acid proteasome inhibitor that potently, reversibly, and selectively 
inhibits the proteasome.  There are several features, such as sustained pharmacodynamic 
effects and activity in a bortezomib-refractory lymphoma xenograft model, that suggest 
that it may have activity that extends beyond that seen with bortezomib. 
 
Nonclinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics: Nonclinical Pharmacokinetics: 
The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of MLN2238 were studied in severe combined 
immunodeficient (SCID) mice bearing human CWR22 tumor xenografts, Sprague-
Dawley rats, beagle dogs, and cynomolgus monkeys.  Because of the extensive red blood 
cell (RBC) partitioning of MLN2238, both blood and plasma PK parameters were 
determined in these studies.  MLN2238 had a very low blood clearance (CLb) and a 
moderate blood volume of distribution at steady-state (Vss,b) after IV administration.  
The concentration-versus-time curve of MLN2238 displayed a distinct bi-exponential 
profile with a steep initial distribution phase and a long terminal t1/2 (> 24 hr) in all 
species tested.  MLN2238 had higher plasma clearance (CLp) and a larger plasma 
volume of distribution at steady-state (Vss,p) than in blood, largely because of the 
extensive RBC partitioning. The PK properties of MLN2238 after oral administration 
were studied in rats and dogs.  The plasma oral bioavailability (F) was 41% in rats and 
nearly 100% in dogs.  A clinical prototype formulation of the Ixazomib capsule 
demonstrated that MLN2238 had excellent oral F and an excellent absorption profile in 
dogs.  In addition, interindividual variability, as measured by %CV, in Cmax and AUC0-
24hr after oral administration was low to moderate, similar to that after IV administration.  
The terminal t1/2 after oral administration was also similar to that after IV administration.  
Comparison of the PK profiles after IV or PO administration in the dog is reported in 
further detail in the IB. MLN2238 is predicted to have very low CLb (0.0045 L/hr/kg) 
and a moderate Vss,b (0.79 L/kg) with a long terminal t1/2 (> 24 hours) in humans.  The 
human efficacious IV dose of MLN2238 is predicted to be 2.0 mg/m2 (0.054 mg/kg) 
twice weekly. The human efficacious oral dose is predicted to be between 2 and 5 mg/m2 
twice weekly, based on a predicted oral F of between 41% (as seen in rats) and 100% (as 
seen in dogs).  The efficacious dose projection for once weekly oral would be higher than 
twice weekly oral (data not provided). 
 
Metabolism appears to be a major route of elimination for MLN2238 and urinary 
excretion of the parent drug was negligible (< 5% of dose).  In vitro in liver microsomes, 
the metabolism of MLN2238 was high in mice and low to moderate in all other species 
studied.  MLN2238 is metabolized by multiple cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes and 
non-CYP enzymes and proteins.  The rank order of relative biotransformation activity of 
each of the 5 major human CYP isozymes in the in vivo studies was 3A4 (34.2%) > 1A2 
(30.7%) > 2D6 (14.7%) > 2C9 (12.1%) > 2C19 (negligible).

MLN2238 is neither an inhibitor of CYP isozymes 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4 (IC50 
> 30 μM, with an estimated inhibition dissociation constant [Ki] > 15 μM) nor a time 
dependent inhibitor of CYP3A4/5 (up to 30 μM).  The potential for Ixazomib treatment 
to produce DDIs via CYP inhibition is inferred to be low. 
 
In a Caco-2 cell assay, MLN2238 showed medium permeability with a B-to-A/A-to-B 
permeability ratio of 2.9.  MLN2238 may be a low-affinity substrate of para-glycoprotein 
(P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistance protein 2 
(MRP2) efflux pump transporters.  MLN2238 is not an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, and 
MRP2 (IC50 > 100 μM).  Consequently, the potential for MLN2238 to cause DDIs with 
substrates or inhibitors of P-gp, BCRP, and MRP2 is low.   
 
See the IB for further details. 
 
1.4 
Safety Pharmacology: In exploratory safety pharmacology studies, MLN2238 was a 
weak inhibitor of the cloned cardiac potassium (K+) human ether à-go-g o related gene 
(hERG) channel, with an IC50 of 59.6 μM, which exceeds, by approximately 200-fold, 
the plasma Cmax (111 ng/mL [0.3 μM]) predicted to occur in humans at the optimally 
efficacious dose after IV administration. 
 
In the GLP-compliant, 1-cycle, repeat-dose, PO toxicology study in beagle dogs, an 
increase in QTc was seen in male dogs at non-tolerated doses, and a potential increase in 
QTc was seen in male dogs at tolerated doses.  However, increased QTc was not seen in 
female dogs at any dose, despite the fact that female dogs had plasma Cmax values 
similar to those of male dogs.  Additionally, in a GLP-compliant, 2-cycle, repeat-dose, IV 
toxicology study in beagle dogs, no increase in QTc was seen in either male or female 
dogs at any dose, even though dogs in the IV study had higher MLN2238 plasma Cmax 
values than did the male dogs in the PO study.  These data suggest that MLN2238 has a 
low potential for prolonging the QT interval in vivo. 
 
Toxicology: All studies discussed in this section were conducted with a solution of either 
MLN2238 or MLN2238 in equilibrium with Ixazomib.  Because Ixazomib was shown to 
dissociate immediately to MLN2238 upon exposure to plasma in vitro and therefore 
could not be detected in plasma samples in vitro all doses, concentrations, and PK 
parameters noted, here and in the IB, are expressed as the boronic acid, MLN2238. 
 
The toxicology studies of MLN2238 were studied in SCID mice bearing human CWR22 
tumor xenografts, Sprague-Dawley rats, beagle dogs, and cynomolgus monkeys.  Details 
of these studies are included in the IB. 
 
In Vitro Toxicology: MLN2238 was not mutagenic in a Good Laboratory Practice 
(GLP)-compliant bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames assay).  
 
In Vivo Toxicology: Details of the in vivo toxicology IV dosing and oral dosing studies 
are provided in the IB.  To summarize, the toxicologic effects seen in the IV and PO 
studies are qualitatively similar to what was previously observed in rodents dosed with 
bortezomib, for which Ixazomib is the next-generation molecule.  MLN2238 did not 
cause significant toxicities that have not been previously observed after dosing with 
bortezomib.  Therefore, on the basis of the similarity in the toxicity profile in rats 
between MLN22338 and bortezomib, MLN2238 is not known to present any additional 
safety risks beyond those that occur after treatment with bortezomib.  In addition, there

were no significant findings at tolerated exposures in dogs observed after PO 
administration that were not seen after IV administration, and similar exposures were 
tolerated regardless of the route of administration. 
 
The potential risks identified from nonclinical studies in dogs and rats include: 
• 
GI toxicity that could result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, 
electrolyte imbalance, bleeding, bowel obstruction including ileus and intussusception, 
and sepsis. 
• 
Reduced blood counts manifest as thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia.  
Reticulocytopenia was described in animals and may be associated with anemia.  
Reductions in blood counts may predispose to an increased susceptibility to infection, 
bleeding, and anemia. 
• 
Peripheral nerve ganglia effects that may be associated with peripheral 
neuropathy that includes pain, burning sensation, and numbness.  Autonomic and motor 
neuropathy may be observed, as both have been reported for bortezomib. 
• 
Lymphoid cell depletion that may be associated with increased risk of infection, 
including re-activation of herpes zoster. 
• 
Acute phase response that may result in fever and metabolic changes. 
 
All of the effects seen in the GLP-compliant PO toxicology studies in both dogs and rats 
at tolerated doses were reversible/reversing and can be monitored in the clinic with 
routine clinical observations (GI disturbances and infections secondary to lymphoid 
compromise), clinical pathology assessments (inhibition of erythropoiesis, 
thrombocytopenia, and inflammatory leukogram), and neurologic assessment, as are 
commonly done for patients treated with bortezomib.  The neurologic lesions in these 
studies are similar to what has been described after treatment with bortezomib and are 
believed to be the cause of the peripheral neuropathy observed in patients treated with 
bortezomib. 
 
Further details are presented in the IB. 
 
Clinical Experience with Ixazomib 
 
As of 30 April 2012, 382 patients have been treated with Ixazomib across 9 enrolling, 
sponsor-led phase 1 or phase 1/2 studies evaluating both twice-weekly and weekly dosing 
schedules.  Ixazomib is available as an intravenous and oral formulation. Regardless of 
the route of administration in the twice-weekly dosing schedule, Ixazomib is given on 
Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of a 21-day cycle; in the weekly dosing schedule, the drug is given 
on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. To date, the development of oral Ixazomib has 
focused on multiple myeloma [relapsed and/or refractory and newly diagnosed] and a 
different yet related plasma cell dyscrasia, systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis. A 
clinical pharmacology study looking at drug-drug interactions, the effect of food, and 
bioavailability also uses the oral formulation. Details of these trials can be found in 
ClinicalTrials.gov and the Ixazomib IB.     
 
 
 
 
Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism: Clinical IV and PO pharmacokinetic (PK) data 
show that Ixazomib (measured as the biologically active boronic acid form of Ixazomib 
[MLN2238]) has multi-exponential disposition with a rapid initial phase that is largely 
over by 4 hours.  Oral Ixazomib is rapidly absorbed with a median time to first maximum 
plasma concentration (Tmax) of approximately 0.5 to 2.0 hours and terminal t1/2 after

multiple dosing of approximately 5 to 7 days.15  Results of a population PK analysis (N = 
137) show that there is no relationship between body surface area (BSA) or body weight 
and clearance (CL).  Also, based on stochastic simulations for fixed dose, exposures are 
independent of the individual patient’s BSA.16  Based on these data, a recommendation 
was made for fixed dosing in clinical trials.  An absolute bioavailability of 67% was 
determined for Ixazomib using the population PK analysis.  See the IB for information on 
the PK for IV doses of Ixazomib. 
 
Metabolism appears to be the major route of elimination for Ixazomib, with negligible 
urinary excretion of the parent drug (< 3% of dose).  In vitro studies of liver microsomes 
show that Ixazomib is metabolized by multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) and 
non-CYP enzymes/proteins.  The rank order of relative biotransformation activity of the 
5 major human CYP isozymes is 3A4 (34.2%) > 1A2 (30.7%) > 2D6 (14.7%) > 2C9 
(12.1%) > 2C19 (< 1%).  Ixazomib is not an inhibitor of CYPs 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 
3A4, nor is it a time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A4/5.  The potential for Ixazomib 
treatment to produce DDIs via CYP inhibition is inferred to be low; however, there may 
be a potential for DDIs with a concomitant strong CYP3A4 or CYP1A2 inhibitor because 
of the potential for first-pass metabolism when Ixazomib is administered via the PO route 
and because of the moderate contribution of CYP3A4- and CYP1A2-mediated 
metabolism of Ixazomib in human liver microsomes.  Ixazomib may be a weak substrate 
of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and multidrug 
resistance associated protein (MRP2) efflux pump transporters.  Ixazomib is not an 
inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, and MRP2.  The potential for DDIs with substrates or inhibitors 
of P-gp, BCRP, and MRP2 is, therefore, inferred to be low. 
      
 
 
Clinical Trial Experience Using the Oral Formulation of Ixazomib:  
In the 7 studies actively enrolling patients to investigate oral Ixazomib in patients with 
differing malignancies (multiple myeloma, AL amyloidosis, nonhematologic cancers, and 
lymphoma), a total of 242 patients have been treated as of 30 April 2012. These patients 
have been treated with different doses of Ixazomib, either as a single agent treatment or 
in combination with currently clinically available treatments. Information regarding the 
ongoing studies, patient populations, and doses investigated are included in Table 1-1.

Overview of the Oral Formulation of Ixazomib 
The emerging safety profile indicates that oral Ixazomib is generally well tolerated with 
predominant toxicities largely reversible, able to be monitored by routine clinical 
examinations and manageable by dose reductions, discontinuation, or standard supportive 
care. From experience from phase 1 through 2 studies the major toxicities can be 
managed to allow repeat treatment cycles over periods extending beyond 24 months.  
In the 4 ongoing studies (C16003, C16004, C16007, and C16009) investigating single-
agent oral Ixazomib in patients with differing malignancies (multiple myeloma, AL 
amyloidosis, nonhematologic cancers, and lymphoma), a total of 146 patients have been 
treated as of 30 April 2012. These patients have been treated with different doses of 
Ixazomib as they are all phase 1 trials. An overview of the most frequent (at least 10%) 
AEs occurring in the pooled safety  population from single-agent oral Ixazomib Studies 
(C16003, C16004, C16007, and C16009) is shown in Table 1-2.

In the 3 studies actively enrolling patients to investigate oral Ixazomib in combination 
with standard combination regimens in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, 
a total of 96 patients have been treated as of 30 April 2012. These patients have been 
treated with different doses of Ixazomib in combination with lenalidomide and 
dexamethasone in 2 trials (C16005 and C16008) and with melphalan and prednisone in 1 
trial (C16006). The most frequent (at least 10%) adverse events occurring in the pooled

The clinical experience with Ixazomib also shows early signs of antitumor activity as 
evidenced by at least a 50% reduction in disease burden in some patients and prolonged 
disease stabilization in others across all ongoing trials. The antitumor activity has been 
seen with single-agent Ixazomib, when combined with established therapies, and across 
the malignancies studied (advanced solid tumors [3], non-Hodgkin’s disease, Hodgkin’s 
disease [4], relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma [RRMM; 5; 6], relapsed or 
refractory systemic light chain amyloidosis [RRAL; 7], and newly diagnosed multiple 
myeloma [NDMM; 8; 9; 10]) to date. 
 
Though additional data are needed to characterize the clinical benefit of this drug, the 
emerging data supports the ongoing development of Ixazomib. 
 
Of particular relevance to this study (C16011) is the clinical experience from Studies 
C16004 and C16007 in which single-agent Ixazomib is administered weekly in patients 
with RRMM or RRAL, respectively.

Relapsed MM: Single-agent, Weekly Ixazomib (Study C16004):  
Study C16004 is an open-label, dose-escalation, phase 1 study of Ixazomib administered 
weekly on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle in adult patients with RRMM. Patients 
with MM enrolled in the dose-escalation component of the study have relapsed following 
at least 2 lines  of therapy, which must have included bortezomib, thalidomide (or 
lenalidomide), and corticosteroids. The dose-escalation phase of the trial has completed. 
In this study, 2 of 3 patients experienced protocol-defined DLTs (Grade 3 rash and Grade 
3 nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) at a dose of 3.95 mg/m2. As per protocol, subsequent 
patients were treated at 1 dose level below (2.97mg/m2) where 1 of 6 patients 
experienced a DLT (Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea). The MTD of weekly oral 
Ixazomib was determined to be 2.97 mg/m2. 
 
Once the MTD was established, cohorts of patients representing the heterogeneous 
patient population currently seen in clinical practice were enrolled in order to further 
evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamics of oral Ixazomib. 
The MTD expansion cohorts enrolling are: 
 
1. Relapsed and Refractory expansion cohort [refractory is defined as disease progression 
while on therapy or within 60 days after the last dose of therapy]; 
2. Carfilzomib expansion cohort 
3. Proteasome Inhibitor-Naïve expansion cohort 
4. VELCADE-Relapsed expansion cohort 
Final study results are not available for this ongoing trial, but preliminary data suggest 
Ixazomib has antitumor activity in heavily pretreated MM patients, with durable 
responses/disease control, and is generally well tolerated.[11,12] 
 
As of the 30 April 2012 data cut, these patients are considered heavily pretreated as 
evidenced by a median number of 4 (range 1–13) prior lines of therapy, with 66% 
refractory to the last line of therapy. Patients have received a median of 2 cycles of 
therapy (range, 1- 11). Five patients have achieved objective response: 1 patient achieved 
a VGPR and 4 patients achieved a PR. Additionally, 15 patients achieved durable disease 
stabilization for up to 9.5 months. At data cut-off, 15 patients remain on treatment; 
discontinuation of treatment was primarily due to progressive disease (69%). 
 
A summary of the safety profile of patients treated in Study C16004 is outlined in Table 
1-4. 
Overall, 92% of patients experienced a TEAE of any grade and of any cause. Peripheral 
neuropathy was limited to Grade 1/ 2 in 6 patients, with 3 patients reporting baseline 
Grade 1 PN at study entry.

Dose reductions required were due to AEs that included rash, neutropenia, 
thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, hypotension, increase in 
serum creatinine, abdominal pain, ileus, fatigue, and pneumonia. The AEs reported for 
the 5 patients who were required to discontinue treatment included Grade 2 Ixazomib-
related nausea/vomiting in 1 patient treated above the MTD, Grade 3 Ixazomib-related 
diarrhea in a second patient, related Grade 3 thrombocytopenia, related Grade 2 dyspnea, 
and notrelated Grade 4 elevation in creatinine(1 patient each). There were no on-study 
deaths.  
Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (C16005):  
In Study C16005, Ixazomib is given weekly (Days 1, 8, and 15), in combination with 
lenalidomide (Days 1-21), and dexamethasone (Days 1, 8, 15, and 22) in a 28-day cycle.  
Enrollment to this study is closed.   
 
Clinical data as of 30 April 2012 is available.  The MTD in Study C16005 was 
determined to be 2.97 mg/m2 given weekly in a 28-day cycle with LenDex.  The DLTs 
were urticarial rash, dizziness, nausea, orthostatic hypotension, vomiting, diarrhoea, and 
syncope.  The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) estimation was established following 
evaluation of the available data from the phase 1 portion of the trial which included, but 
was not limited to, analyses of efficacy results and adverse events (Grade 3/4 AEs, SAEs, 
all grades peripheral neuropathy, and treatment discontinuation).  Given that the dose of 
Ixazomib at 2.97 mg/m2 compromised the maximal dosing of lenalidomide and that the 
dose of 2.23 mg/m2 is very tolerable and clinically active, Millennium designated 2.23 
mg/m2 as the RP2D after evaluation of the data and discussion with investigators.  The 
RP2D of 2.23 mg/m2 has been translated into a fixed dose of 4.0 mg based on the results 
from the population PK analysis.  Enrollment in this study has been completed; final 
study results are not available, but preliminary data suggests oral Ixazomib given weekly 
plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone in a 28-day cycle appears well tolerated with 
manageable toxicity and encouraging antitumor activity.   
 
In Study C16005, 15 of 15 (100%) patients in the dose escalation portion of the study 
experienced at least 1 TEAE irrespective of grade or causality.  At the MTD across all 
dose expansion cohorts 49 of 53 patients (including 3 patients from the dose escalation

cohort [92%]) reported at least 1 TEAE irrespective of grade or causality.  In the MTD 
cohorts, fatigue was the most common AE reported (38%).  Other common AEs reported 
include nausea (32%), constipation (30%), upper respiratory infection (23%), and 
peripheral oedema (21%).  Skin toxicity, primarily erythematous rash, occurred in 62% 
of patients (of note, rash is an overlapping toxicity with Ixazomib and lenalidomide).  
Peripheral neuropathy was reported in 13% of patients; Grade 3 in 1 patient.   
 
A summary of the overall safety profile of patients treated in Study C16005 is outlined in 
Table 1-6.  Overall, 100% of 65 patients experienced at least one TEAE of any grade and 
of any cause.

One patient discontinued study drug administration due to a TEAE (patient with DLT of 
acute rise in serum creatinine, dyspnea, and cardiac arrest treated at 5.5 mg, as noted 
above). No death has been reported. 
The potential risks reported with Ixazomib use, pooled from all studies using the oral 
formulations, were anticipated based on preclinical data and previous experience with 
VELCADE and are noted in the Ixazomib IB, SMA, and ICF documents. Regardless of 
whether Ixazomib is administered on the once weekly or twice weekly dosing schedule, 
there is consistency among the type of TEAEs reported, despite some differences in the 
frequency and severity of the reported events. While the predominant potential toxicities 
may be severe in some cases, they are largely reversible, and can be managed by routine 
clinical monitoring and standard medical interventions, which may include dose 
reductions and supportive care. Please refer to the Ixazomib IB and SMA for further 
information.

Anti-myeloma activity of Ixazomib:  
 
Several clinical trials have been conducted with Ixazomib in patients with relapsed 
myeloma as well as newly diagnosed myeloma. These have included trials of Ixazomib as 
a single agent, in combination with dexamethasone, as well as in combination with 
lenalidomide. As mentined before, two different dose schedules have been explored as 
well; once weekly for 3 out of four weeks and twice weekly for 2 out of 3 weeks.  
 
Ixazomib was studied as a single agent in patients with relapsed and or refractory MM 
(NCT00932698).17 The trial was designed to assess safety, MTD, and response rate with 
twice-weekly oral Ixazomib. Patients with ≥2 prior therapies (including bortezomib, 
thalidomide/lenalidomide, and corticosteroids) were enrolled and treated with Ixazomib 
on d 1, 4, 8, and 11 of 21-d cycles. At the MTD (2.0 mg/m2), patients were enrolled to 
relapsed and refractory [RR], bortezomib-relapsed [VR], proteasome-inhibitor [PI] naïve, 
and carfilzomib [CZ] expansion cohorts. Fifty-eight patients were enrolled, 38 to the 
expansion cohorts (19 RR, 11 VR, 6 PI naïve, 2 CZ). Patients have received a median of 
3 cycles (range 1-24) to date (data cut-off Dec 1, 2011); 7 (12%) have received ≥13 
cycles. Of 53 response-evaluable patients, 6 have achieved ≥PR, with 1 sCR (PI naïve 
cohort) and 5 PRs (2 in dose-escalation, 1 in RR, 2 in VR cohorts), and 1 VR patient has 
achieved MR, with duration of disease control of up to 18.6 months (Figure 1 below).

In a very similar trial Ixazomib was administered once weekly for 3 weeks in 4 week 
cycles. (NCT00963820).18 Patients with relapsed/refractory MM who had ≥2 prior 
therapies (including bortezomib, thalidomide/lenalidomide, and corticosteroids) were 
treated with Ixazomib on d 1, 8, and 15 of 28-d cycles. At the MTD, patients were to be 
enrolled to relapsed and refractory (RR), bortezomib-relapsed (VR), proteasome inhibitor 
(PI) naïve, and carfilzomib (CZ) expansion cohorts. Overall, 52 patients have been 
enrolled, 32 in the dose-escalation phase (0.24–3.95 mg/m2) and 23 to expansion cohorts 
(12 RR, 5 VR, 5 PI naïve, 1 CZ). Patients have received a median of 2 cycles (range 1–
11); 15 patients remain on treatment at last follow up. In 18 response-evaluable patients, 
1 had a VGPR at 3.95 mg/m2, 1 had a PR at 2.97 mg/m2, 2 had a PR in the expansion 
cohorts and 12 have achieved SD durable for up to 9.5 months (Figure 2 below).

Ixazomib shows early signs of antitumor activity as evidenced by at least a 50% 
reduction in disease burden in some patients and prolonged disease stabilization in others 
across all ongoing trials [3,4,5,6,8,9,10]. 
This study will be conducted in compliance with the protocol, good clinical practice 
(GCP), applicable regulatory requirements, and International Conference on 
Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines 
 
1.8 
Role of maintenance therapy in myeloma: The concept of maintenance therapy has 
been tested mostly in the setting of high dose therapy and autologous stem cell 
transplantation. Patients invariably relapse after initial treatment strategies including SCT 
and various trials have attempted to maintain the SCT response through maintenance 
approaches. Initial trials prior to the availability of the new drugs have examined steroids 
or interferon, and a small randomized clinical trial of interferon- (3 x 106 units/m2) 
subcutaneously 3 times weekly, following initial ASCT, suggested a modest 
improvement in EFS.20 The IFM99-02 trial randomized patients with standard-risk MM 
(Beta2-microglobulin [B2M] <3, no deletion 13), were: to receive no maintenance, 
pamidronate, or pamidronate plus thalidomide after tandem SCT.21 Thalidomide was 
associated with higher response rates, improved EFS (52% vs. 36% with no maintenance) 
and improved overall survival (4-year estimated survival from diagnosis with thalidomide 
(87%) compared with no maintenance (77%). At least 5 different randomized trials have 
examined the role of thalidomide as a maintenance therapy post-SCT.22-24 A meta-
analysis of these trials support the improved progression-free survival, but remains 
equivocal in terms of overall survival improvement. In addition, high discontinuation rate 
has been noted in all these studies due to toxicity. In particular the Canadian study 
showed worsening of QoL parameters among patients getting thalidomide maintenance.24  
 
A phase 3 study from the IFM enrolled 614 patients < 65 years, with non-progressive 
disease, within 6 months after upfront ASCT.25 Patients received 2 cycles of 
consolidation with lenalidomide 25 mg daily for 3 of 4 weeks followed by a 
randomization to lenalidomide 10-15 mg/d until relapse or to placebo (n=307 in each 
arm). Patients were stratified according to Beta-2M, del13, and VGPR to initial therapy. 
There was an improvement in the PFS with maintenance therapy, with a median PFS of 
42 months for lenalidomide vs. 24 months for the placebo. The improvement in the PFS 
was seen in all the subgroups based on stratification. With the current follow up, overall 
survival (OS) remains identical in the two groups. In a very similar trial, McCarthy and 
colleagues randomized patients 70 years or younger, who attained a stable disease or 
better with their induction therapy and underwent ASCT within one year of diagnosis, to 
lenalidomide (5-15 mg/day) or placebo until relapse.26 Patients were stratified based on 
Beta-2M and use of thalidomide or lenalidomide therapy during induction. Patients were 
enrolled prior to the ASCT, with 19% of the 568 enrolled dropping out before 
randomization. As expected, grade 3 and 4 adverse events were significantly higher in the 
maintenance arm, with hematological toxicities being the common events. The median 
time to progression was 42 months with lenalidomide compared to 21.8 months with the 
placebo, results very similar to the French study. More recent updates suggest an 
improvement in the overall survival for the lenalidomide arm in the CALGB study. There 
are differences, however, between the two trials in terms of the design as well as duration 
of therapy. Patients in the IFM trial received uniform induction therapy unlike the 
CALGB trial. Patients in the IFM study received 2 cycles of consolidation with 
lenalidomide before starting maintenance. In addition, the IFM trial limited maintenance 
to approximately 24 months based on concerns regarding second malignancies and did

not allow cross over. However, the CALGB trial allowed cross over from placebo arm to 
lenalidomide maintenance based on interim analysis and also allowed maintenance until 
progression. 
 
Very few trials have explored the role of maintenance therapy outside of the context of 
SCT prior to the advent of the new drugs. Three large recent trials have explored the role 
of maintenance therapy in the older patient population following a defined period of 
initial therapy with 3 or 4 drug combinations. In a recent multicenter phase 3 study (MM-
015), Palumbo et al have evaluated the safety and efficacy of continuous lenalidomide 
treatment after MPR (MPR-R; n=152) versus MP (n=154) or MPR (n=153) in 459 newly 
diagnosed transplant ineligible MM patients who were >= 65 years of age.27 The 
treatment schema consisted of melphalan 0.18 mg/kg on days 1-4, prednisone 2 mg/kg on 
days 1-4, with (MPR or MPR-R) or without (MP) lenalidomide 10 mg/day on days 1-21 
for nine 28-day cycles. Following 9 cycles of MPR, patients received maintenance 
lenalidomide (10 mg/day on days 1-21) (MPR-R) or placebo (MPR) until progression; 
MP patients also received placebo until progression. After a median follow-up of 21 
months, MPR-R compared with MP resulted in a higher overall RR (77% vs. 50%, p < 
.001) and higher rates of CR (16% vs. 4%, p < .001). In addition, MPR-R reduced the risk 
of disease progression by 58% compared with MP (HR =0.423, p < .001) and resulted in a 
higher 2-year PFS rate (55% vs. 16%). Adverse events associated with MPR-R and MP 
resulted in treatment discontinuation in 20% and 8% patients, respectively. In another 
trial, patients receiving initial therapy with bortezomib, thalidomide, melphalan and 
prednisone were continued on maintenance with bortezomib and thalidomide, resulting in 
superior PFS compared to the control group of patients receiving VMP.28 Finally, a 
Spanish trial randomized patients to initial therapy with VMP or VTP and then 
randomized all patients at the end of therapy to maintenance with VT or VP and showed 
an improved PFS in patients getting VT maintenance. In all these trials patients assigned 
to receive maintenance therapy with an IMiD or bortezomib + IMiD combination 
appeared to have improvements in the depth of response and better progression-free 
survival.29  
 
However, significant questions remain as to the duration of maintenance therapy with 
different trials sporting different designs in terms of duration of therapy. Given the data 
showing that the rate of second malignancies may be higher after 24 months of 
maintenance, and the cost and side effects of maintenance, it has been suggested that two 
years of lenalidomide maintenance is sufficient, and the current IFM/DFCI trial has been 
amended to limit maintenance duration to two years.25 But the major improvement in OS 
seen with lenalidomide maintenance was with therapy until progression. Hence, the issue 
of optimal duration of maintenance is pressing.  
 
1.9   
Rationale for the current trial: Ixazomib is a second-generation proteasome inhibitor, 
with excellent oral bioavailability, that is currently in phase 1 and 2 clinical trials.30 The 
preliminary data from the phase 1 trials and the expansion cohorts at MTD, using single 
agent MLN 9708, demonstrates excellent tolerability and early evidence of efficacy.31,32 
In combination with lenalidomide in the setting of newly diagnosed myeloma, the 
combination has shown very high response rates and deep responses. Given these results, 
it is only logical to evaluate the efficacy of cyclophosphamide and Ixazomib with 
dexamethasone in the context of newly diagnosed disease. The results of this phase 2 can 
be compared with the historical controls form similar studies that have looked at Rd, 
VRd, and VCd, to give us an estimate of the comparative efficacy. We hypothesize that 
this fully oral regimen will have significant activity in this setting and will provide for a

convenient schedule. In addition, given the clinical efficacy seen with bortezomib, 
cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone, we hypothesize that the combination of 
Ixazomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone, will be active in light chain 
amyloidosis.

*The study drug should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours

** Treatment will continue till disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, 
or if patient and/or physician prefer to discontinue therapy. 
 
 
7.2 
The doses of Ixazomib used in this study are based on data from Millennium’s ongoing 
phase 1 trials. In these trials the dose of Ixazomib was based on BSA. A population PK

 MC1382

analysis was performed for Ixazomib to assess the feasibility of switching from BSA-
based dosing to flat dosing. A population PK model was built using nonlinear mixed 
effects modeling in NONMEM VII software compiled with the Intel Fortran 9.2 
compiler. Data from both the twice-weekly and once-weekly IV dosing regimens were 
used in the analysis (N = 42). Population PK analysis showed that Ixazomib PK can be 
well described by a 3- compartment model with linear elimination. Race, sex, BSA, 
and/or body weight do not appear to significantly affect clearance (CL) and volume of 
distribution (V1) in the central compartment. Clearance and volume of distribution in the 
central compartment are the PK parameters that will affect AUC and Cmax, respectively. 
CL and V1 are primary parameters that are independent of the route of administration of 
drug. Therefore, BSA is not expected to affect Cmax or AUC after oral dosing, and thus 
flat dosing is appropriate for both oral and IV routes of administration.  
 
 
7.3  
Patients should be instructed to swallow Ixazomib capsules whole, with water, and not to 
break, chew, or open the capsules.  The study drug should be taken on an empty stomach, 
at least 1 hour before or at least  2 hours after food.  Each capsule should be swallowed 
separately with a sip of water.  A total of approximately 8 ounces (240 mL) of water 
should be taken with the capsules.   
 
The prescribed administration of Ixazomib doses in this study is the MTD of Millennium 
study C16004 weekly in a 28-day cycle.  Missed doses can be taken as soon as the patient 
remembers as long as the next scheduled dose is 72 hours or more away.  A double dose 
should not be taken to make up for a missed dose.  If the patient vomits after taking a 
dose, the patient should not repeat the dose but should resume dosing at the time of the 
next scheduled dose. 
 
Drug will be administered only to eligible patients under the supervision of the 
investigator or identified subinvestigator(s).  Patients may be treated on an outpatient 
basis, if possible. 
 
The drug will be prepared under the supervision of a pharmacist, or appropriately 
qualified and trained personnel. 
 
7.4 
Cohort A:  
 
For cohort A the patient must be evaluated at the consenting institution (Mayo Clinic) as 
described in the Test Schedule (Section 4).  Treatment by a local medical doctor (LMD) 
is not allowed.   
 
 
Cohort B (as of amendment 12) 
 
For cohort B, the patient must return to the consenting institution for evaluation at least 
every third cycle, provided the drug can be sent to the patient and necessary interval 
evaluations as required by the protocol can be completed remotely or through local 
healthcare facilities 
 
7.5 
Patients are allowed to collect stem cells any time after 3 cycles of initial therapy. 
Therapy may be interrupted for up to 4 weeks for the purpose of stem cell collection.

collection is completed, patients will initiate next cycle of therapy and continue as per 
protocol. Any delay beyond 4 weeks should be discussed with the study PI prior to 
reinitiating protocol therapy. Patients can go off study treatment for stem cell 
transplantation any time after 6 cycles of therapy. Patients who discontinue therapy for 
stem cell transplantation will go to event monitoring phase of the study and will not get 
any additional therapy with Ixazomib.

Dose Delay 
Any toxicity that causes a dose delay of > 2 weeks 
of the next intended dose  
Dose Reduction 
Any dose reduction within cycle 1

**Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea with maximal supportive treatment(s) 
will be considered dose limiting.  Fatigue and mouth sores that are considered 
Grade 3 with an attribution of definitely, probably, or possibly related to treatment 
will be reviewed by the study team to determine if they were due to other causes 
(i.e. disease progression or infection) or treatment.   If it is determined that the 
fatigue or mouth sores were due to other causes they would not be considered a 
DLT and if they were due to treatment they would be considered a DLT. 
 
 
8.0 
Dosage Modification Based on Adverse Events  
 
Strictly follow the modifications in this table for the first two cycles, until individual treatment 
tolerance can be ascertained.  Individual drugs can be dose reduced as per the table below 
depending on the adverse event attribution. Thereafter, these modifications should be regarded as 
guidelines to produce mild-to-moderate, but not debilitating, side effects.  If multiple adverse 
events are seen, administer dose based on greatest reduction required for any single adverse event 
observed.  Reductions apply to treatment given in the preceding cycle and are based on adverse 
events observed since the prior dose. 
 
 
 
ALERT: 
ADR reporting may be required for some adverse events (See Section 10)

8.11  
Instruction for initiation of a new cycle of therapy  
A new cycle of treatment may begin on the scheduled Day 1 of a new cycle if: 
• 
The ANC is ≥ 1000/μL 
• 
The platelet count is ≥ 75,000/μL 
• 
Any other non-hematologic Ixazomib-related adverse event that may have 
occurred has resolved to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline severity. 
If these conditions are not met on Day 1 of a new cycle, dosing should be 
delayed for 1 week. At the end of that time, the patient should be re-
evaluated to determine whether the criteria have been met. If the patient 
continues to fail to meet the above-cited criteria, delay therapy and continue 
to re-evaluate.   
If any drug dosing was halted during the previous cycle and was restarted 
with a one-level dose reduction without requiring an interruption for the 
remainder of the cycle, then that reduced dose level will be initiated on Day 1 
of the new cycle.  
If any drug dosing was omitted for the remainder of the previous cycle or if 
the new cycle is held due to known hematologic toxicity newly encountered 
on the scheduled Day 1, then the new cycle will be started with a one-level 
dose reduction.  If a new cycle of therapy cannot be restarted within 4 weeks 
of the scheduled Day 1 due to non-resolution of drug related toxicities, the 
patient will be removed from protocol therapy and will go to event 
monitoring.

9.9d      Erythematous Rash With or Without Pruritus 
As with bortezomib, rash with or without pruritus has been reported with Ixazomib, 
primarily at the higher doses tested and when given with agents where rash is an 
overlapping toxicity.  The rash may range from limited erythematous areas, macular 
and/or small papular bumps that may or may not be pruritic over a few areas of the body, 
to a more generalized eruption that is predominately on the trunk or extremities.  Rash 
has been most commonly characterized as maculopapular or macular.  To date, when it 
does occur, rash is most commonly reported within the first 3 cycles of therapy.  The rash 
is often transient, self-limiting, and is typically Grade 1 to 2 in severity.  
Symptomatic measures such as antihistamines or corticosteroids (oral or topical) have 
been successfully used to manage rash and have been used prophylactically in subsequent 
cycles.  The use of a topical, IV, or oral steroid (eg, prednisone ≤ 10 mg per day or 
equivalent) is permitted.  Management of a Grade 3 rash may require intravenous 
antihistamines or corticosteroids.  Administration of Ixazomib (and/or other causative

agent if given in combination) should be modified per protocol and re-initiated at a 
reduced level from where rash was noted (also, per protocol).   
In line with clinical practice, dermatology consult and biopsy of Grade 3 or higher rash or 
any SAE involving rash is recommended.  Prophylactic measures should also be 
considered if a patient has previously developed a rash (eg, using a thick, alcohol-free 
emollient cream on dry areas of the body or oral or topical antihistamines).  A rare risk is 
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, a severe and potentially life-threatening rash with skin 
peeling and mouth sores, which should be managed symptomatically according to 
standard medical practice.  Punch biopsies for histopathological analysis are encouraged 
at the discretion of the investigator. 
 
9.9e 
Thrombocytopenia 
Thrombocytopenia has been reported to date primarily at the higher doses tested.  Blood 
counts should be monitored regularly as outlined in the protocol with additional testing 
obtained according to standard clinical practice.  Thrombocytopenia may be severe but 
has been manageable with platelet transfusions according to standard clinical practice. 
Thrombocytopenia nadirs commonly recover without intervention by the beginning of the 
next scheduled cycle. Ixazomib administration should be modified as noted as per dose 
modification recommendations in Table 6-2 when thrombocytopenia occurs.  Therapy 
can be reinitiated at a reduced level upon recovery of platelet counts. A rare risk is 
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a rare blood disorder where blood clots 
form in small blood vessels throughout the body characterized by thrombocytopenia, 
petechiae, fever, or possibly more serious signs and symptoms. TTP should be managed 
symptomatically according to standard medical practice. 
 
9.9f 
Neutropenia 
Neutropenia has been reported with Ixazomib.  Blood counts should be monitored 
regularly as outlined in the protocol with additional testing obtained according to 
standard clinical practice.  Neutropenia may be severe but has been manageable with 
G-CSF according to standard clinical practice.  Neutropenic nadirs commonly recover 
without intervention by the beginning of the next scheduled cycle or with a short delay in 
treatment.  Ixazomib administration should be modified when neutropenia occurs, as 
noted in the dose modification recommendations in Table 6-2.  Therapy can be reinitiated 
at a reduced level upon recovery of absolute neutrophil counts. 
 
9.9g 
Fluid Deficits 
Dehydration should be avoided because Ixazomib may cause vomiting, diarrhea, and 
dehydration.  Acute renal failure has been reported with Ixazomib.  Fluid deficits should 
be corrected before initiation of study drug and during treatment and as needed during 
therapy.  Until further information is available, intake of NSAIDs while on this protocol 
should be avoided.

9.9h 
Hypotension 
 
Symptomatic hypotension and orthostatic hypotension have been reported with 
IXAZOMIB. Blood pressure should be closely monitored while the patient is on study 
treatment and fluid deficit should be corrected as needed, especially in the setting of 
concomitant symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or anorexia. Patients taking 
medications and/or diuretics to manage their blood pressure (for either hypo- or 
hypertension) should be managed according to standard clinical practice, including 
considerations for dose adjustments of their concomitant medications during the course 
of the trial.  
 
 
9.9i 
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome  
One case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) has been reported 
with IXAZOMIB.  While this case ultimately resolved, PRES has also been reported 
rarely with another proteasome inhibitor, VELCADE.  PRES is characterized by 
headache, seizures and visual loss, as well as abrupt increase in blood pressure.  Prompt 
diagnosis and initiation of antihypertensive and anticonvulsant therapy are important to 
prevent irreversible end-organ damage. 
9.9j 
Transverse Myelitis 
 
Transverse myelitis has also been reported with Ixazomib. It is not known if Ixazomib 
causes transverse myelitis; however, because it happened to a patient receiving Ixazomib, 
the possibility that Ixazomib may have contributed to transverse myelitis cannot be 
excluded.

as serious AE which is defined in the table in Section 10.4. 
 
10.2  
Expected vs. Unexpected Events  
 
• 
The determination of whether an AE is expected is based on agent-specific 
information provided in Section 15.0 of the protocol and the study specific 
consent form. 
 
• 
Unexpected AEs are those not listed in the agent-specific information 
provided in Section 15.0 of the protocol and the study specific consent form. 
 
NOTE: “Unexpected adverse experiences” means any adverse experience that is neither 
identified in nature, severity, or frequency of risk in the information provided for IRB 
review nor mentioned in the consent form.  
 
10.3 
Assessment of Attribution 
 
When assessing whether an adverse event is related to a medical treatment or 
procedure, the following attribution categories are utilized: 
Definite - The adverse event is clearly related to the agent(s). 
Probable - The adverse event is likely related to the agent(s). 
Possible - The adverse event may be related to the agent(s). 
Unlikely - The adverse event is doubtfully related to the agent(s). 
Unrelated - The adverse event is clearly NOT related to the agent(s). 
 
Events determined to be possibly, probably or definitely attributed to a 
medical treatment suggest there is evidence to indicate a causal relationship 
between the drug and the adverse event.  
 
10.31  AEs Experienced Utilizing Investigational Agents and Commercial Agent(s) on 
the SAME Arm 
 
NOTE:  When a commercial agent(s) is (are) used on the same 
treatment arm as the investigational agent/intervention (also, 
investigational drug, biologic, cellular product, or other 
investigational therapy under an IND), the entire combination (arm) is 
then considered an investigational intervention for reporting. 
 
Routine Reporting 
 
• Routine AE reporting for Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies using an 
investigational agent /intervention in combination with a commercial agent 
is stated in the protocol.  See Section 10.6.

• Routine AE reporting for Phase 3 clinical studies using an investigational 
agent/intervention and a commercial agent in combination must be 
reported as defined by the general guidelines provided by sponsors, 
Groups, Cancer Centers, or Principal Investigators. See Section 10.6. 
 
Expedited Reporting 
 
• An AE that occurs on a combination study must be assessed in accordance with 
the guidelines for investigational agents/interventions in Section 10.4, and where 
indicated, an expedited report must be submitted. 
 
• An AE that occurs prior to administration of the investigational 
agent/intervention must be assessed as specified in the protocol. In general, 
only Grade 4 and 5 AEs that are unexpected with at least possible 
attribution to the commercial agent require an expedited report.  Refer to 
Section 10.4 for specific AE reporting requirements or exceptions. 
 
• Commercial agent expedited reports must be submitted to the FDA via 
MedWatch 3500A. 
 
• An investigational agent/intervention might exacerbate the expected AEs 
associated with a commercial agent.  Therefore, if an expected AE (for the 
commercial agent) occurs with a higher degree of severity, expedited reporting 
is required.  The clinical investigator must determine severity.

IND/IDE within 30 Days of the Last Administration of the Investigational 
Agent/Intervention1, 2 
FDA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS (21 CFR Part 312) 
NOTE:  Investigators MUST immediately report to the sponsor ANY Serious Adverse Events, 
whether or not they are considered related to the investigational agent(s)/intervention (21 CFR 312.64) 
 An adverse event is considered serious if it results in ANY of the following outcomes:   
1) Death 
2) A life-threatening adverse event  
3) An adverse event that results in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing 
hospitalization for ≥ 24 hours  
4) A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal 
life functions  
5) A congenital anomaly/birth defect.  
6) Important Medical Events (IME) that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon medical judgment, they may 
jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent

serious AEs, the investigator must determine both the intensity of the event and the 
relationship of the event to study drug administration.  
 
AEs which are serious must be reported to Takeda Pharmacovigilance (or designee) from 
the first dose of study drug through 30 days after administration of the last dose of 
Ixazomib. Any SAE that occurs at any time after completion of Ixazomib treatment or 
after the designated follow-up period that the sponsor-investigator and/or sub-investigator 
considers to be related to any study drug must be reported to Takeda Pharmacovigilance 
(or designee). In addition, new primary malignancies that occur during the follow-up 
periods must be reported, regardless of causality to study regimen, for a minimum of 
three years after the last dose of the investigational product, starting from the first dose of 
study drug. All new cases of primary malignancy must be reported to Takeda 
Pharmacovigilance (or designee). 
 
 
 
 
Planned hospital admissions or surgical procedures for an illness or disease that existed 
before the patient was enrolled in the trial are not to be considered AEs unless the 
condition deteriorated in an unexpected manner during the trial (e.g., surgery was 
performed earlier or later than planned). All SAEs should be monitored until they are 
resolved or are clearly determined to be due to a patient’s stable or chronic condition or 
intercurrent illness(es). 
 
 
Since this is an investigator-initiated study, the principal investigator, Shaji Kumar, MD, 
also referred to as the sponsor-investigator, is responsible for reporting serious adverse 
events (SAEs) to any regulatory agency and to the sponsor- investigator’s EC or IRB. 
 
 
Regardless of expectedness or causality, all SAEs (including serious pretreatment events) 
must also be reported in English to Takeda Pharmacovigilance (or designee): 
 
 
Fatal and Life Threatening SAEs within 24 hours of the sponsor-investigator’s 
observation or awareness of the event 
 
 
All other serious (non-fatal/non-life-threatening) events within 4 calendar days of the 
sponsor-investigator’s observation or awareness of the event 
 
 
See below for contact information for the reporting of SAEs to Takeda 
Pharmacovigilance. 
 
 
The sponsor-investigator must fax or email the SAE Form per the timelines above. A 
sample of an SAE Form will be provided. 
 
 
 
 
The SAE report must include at minimum: 
• 
Event term(s) 
• 
Serious criteria 
• 
Intensity of the event(s): Sponsor-investigator’s or sub-investigator’s determination. 
Intensity for each SAE, including any lab abnormalities, will be determined by using

Other Required Reporting 
 
10.51 Persistent or Significant Disabilities/Incapacities 
 
Any AE that results in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial 
disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions (formerly referred to as 
disabilities), congenital abnormities or birth defects, must be reported 
immediately if they occur at any time following treatment with an agent under an 
IND/IDE since they are considered to be a serious AE and must be reported to 
the sponsor as specified in 21 CFR 312.64(b). 
10.52 Death 
Any death occurring within 30 days of the last dose, regardless of attribution to 
an agent/intervention under an IND/IDE requires expedited reporting within 24-
hours. 
 
Any death occurring greater than 30 days with an attribution of possible, 
probable, or definite to an agent/intervention under an IND/IDE requires 
expedited reporting within 24-hours. 
 
Reportable categories of Death  
 
• 
Death attributable to a CTCAE term. 
• 
Death Neonatal:  A disorder characterized by cessation of life during the 
first 28 days of life.Death NOS:  A cessation of life that cannot be 
attributed to a CTCAE term associated with Grade 5. 
• 
Sudden death NOS:  A sudden (defined as instant or within one hour of 
the onset of symptoms) or an unobserved cessation of life that cannot be 
attributed to a CTCAE term associated with Grade 5. 
• 
Death due to progressive disease should be reported as Grade 5 
“Neoplasms benigh, malignant and unspecified (incl cysts and 
polyps) – Other (Progressive Disease)” under the system organ class 
(SOC) of the same name.  Evidence that the death was a manifestation of 
underlying disease (e.g., radiological changes suggesting tumor growth 
or progression: clinical deterioration associated with a disease process) 
should be submitted. 
• 
Any death occurring within 30 days of the last dose, regardless of 
attribution to the investigational agent/intervention requires expedited 
reporting within 24 hours. 
• 
Any death occurring greater than 30 days after the last does of the 
investigational agent/intervention requires expedited reporting within 24

hours only if it is possibly, probably, or definitely related to the 
investigational agent/intervention. 
 
10.53 Secondary Malignancy 
 
• 
A secondary malignancy is a cancer caused by treatment for a previous 
malignancy (e.g., treatment with investigational agent/intervention, radiation or 
chemotherapy).  A secondary malignancy is not considered a metastasis of the 
initial neoplasm. 
 
• 
All secondary malignancies that occur following treatment with an agent under 
an IND/IDE be reported. Three options are available to describe the event: 
 
o 
Leukemia secondary to oncology chemotherapy (e.g., Acute Myeloctyic 
Leukemia [AML]) 
 
o 
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) 
 
o 
Treatment-related secondary malignancy 
 
• 
Any malignancy possibly related to cancer treatment (including AML/MDS) 
should also be reported via the routine reporting mechanisms outlined in each 
protocol. 
 
10.54 Second Malignancy 
 
• 
A second malignancy is one unrelated to the treatment of a prior malignancy (and 
is NOT a metastasis from the initial malignancy).  Second malignancies require 
ONLY routine reporting. 
 
10.55 Procedures for Reporting Drug Exposure During Pregnancy and Birth 
Events 
If a woman becomes pregnant or suspects that she is pregnant while participating 
in this study, she must inform the investigator immediately and permanently 
discontinue study drug.  The sponsor-investigator must fax a completed 
Pregnancy Form to the Millennium Department of Pharmacovigilance or 
designee (see Section 8.2).  The pregnancy must be followed for the final 
pregnancy outcome. 
If a female partner of a male patient becomes pregnant during the male patient’s 
participation in this study, the sponsor-investigator must also immediately fax a 
completed Pregnancy Form to the Millennium Department of Pharmacovigilance 
or designee (see Section 8.2).  Every effort should be made to follow the 
pregnancy for the final pregnancy outcome.

11.0 
Treatment Evaluation 
Cohort A (Multiple Myleoma): The International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) uniform 
response criteria (Rajkumar et al, 2011) will be used to assess response to therapy  
11.1  
Terms and definitions 
 
• 
M-protein: synonyms include M-spike, monoclonal protein and myeloma protein, 
paraprotein, M-component. 
 
Serum M-protein level is quantitated using densitometry on SPEP except in cases 
where the SPEP is felt to be unreliable.   
• M-proteins migrating in the β-region (usually IgA M-proteins)  
• Cases in which the M-protein is so large and narrow on agarose (some 
specimens >4 g/dL) that they underestimate the actual immunoglobulin level 
(by greater than 1500 mg/dL) due to technical staining properties of the 
agarose gel. 
• Cases in which there are multiple peaks of same M-protein (aggregates or 
dimers) 
 
If SPEP is not available or felt to be unreliable (above examples) for routine M-
protein quantitation, then quantitative immunoglobulin levels derived from 
nephelometry or turbidometry can be accepted.  However, this must be explicitly 
reported at baseline, and only nephelometry can be used for that patient to assess 
response. SPEP derived M-protein values and quantitative nephelometric 
immunoglobulin values cannot be used interchangeably.   
 
Urine M-protein measurement is estimated using 24-h UPEP only.  Random or 24 h 
urine tests measuring kappa and lambda light chain levels are not reliable and are not 
recommended. 
 
 
FLC estimation is currently carried out using the serum FLC assay (Freelite, The 
Binding Site Limited, UK).  Patients with kappa/lambda FLC ratio <0.26 are defined 
as having monoclonal lambda FLC and those with ratios >1.65 as having a

 MC1382 
Millennium # X16009 
 
 
MCCC Add 12 
 
Protocol Version Date:    February 23, 2021 
 
monoclonal kappa FLC.  The monoclonal light chain isotype is considered the 
involved FLC isotype, and the opposite light chain type as the uninvolved FLC type.  
 
• 
Response terms: The following response terms will be used: stringent Complete 
Response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), partial 
response (PR), Minimal Response (MR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease 
(PD).  
 
In addition, for each response category, there will be an “unconfirmed” response 
category, which will be for internal use, for the purpose of guiding decision making 
and test ordering. These designations will applied at the time of the first measurement 
at which the quantitative aspect of the response category has been satisfied without 
the confirmation step having been satisfied. The designation “u” will precede the 
standard abbreviations, and will include usCR, uCR, uVGPR, uPR, uMR, uPD.  
 
• 
Measurable disease: Patients who have a measurable serum or urine M-protein.  
 
o Serum M-protein ≥1 g/dl  
o Urine M-protein ≥ 200 mg/24 h 
o Serum FLC assay: Involved FLC level ≥  10 mg/dl provided serum FLC ratio is 
abnormal 
o Bone marrow plasma cells ≥ 30% 
 
The serum free light chain (FLC) assay is of particular use in monitoring response to 
therapy in patients who have oligo-secretory or non-secretory disease and should be used 
in assessing response only if the baseline serum and/or urine M proteins are not 
“measurable” as above, and the baseline level of the involved FLC is “measurable.”  
When using this assay, it is important to note that the FLC levels vary considerably with 
changes in renal function and in patients with renal insufficiency, the levels of both the 
kappa and lambda may remain elevated, but the ratio normalizes with achievement of 
CR.  Thus, both the level of the involved and the uninvolved FLC isotype (i.e., the 
involved/uninvolved ratio or involved-uninvolved difference) should be considered in 
assessing response.  Patients included on the study on the basis of FLC alone (i.e., no 
measurable serum/urine M-protein) should be the only ones who are evaluated using 
FLC response criteria.  The others should follow usual criteria and ignore FLC results 
with the exception of defining stringent complete response. 
 
• 
Evaluable disease: Patients who do not have a “measurable” serum M-protein, 
serum free light chain, or urine M-protein. 
 
• 
Oligosecretory myeloma: Patient with multiple myeloma who has NEVER had 
“measurable” serum M-protein or urine M-protein, but has had a detectable M-
protein in his/her serum and/or urine and/or measurable serum free light chain.

1  SPEP, UPEP, Immunofixation studies of both serum and urine, and Bone marrow 
biopsy are required to document CR regardless of registration values, and in addition 
FLC measurement and bone marrow immunophenotyping is required to document 
sCR.  SPEP and UPEP are required to document VGPR regardless of registration 
values. 
2  For serum measurable patients, 24 hour urine does not need to be confirmed (i.e. 
repeated after documented response) for any response category 
3  At a minimum, a bone marrow biopsy should be repeated every 3 months until 
documented response.  Bone marrow biopsy results do not need to be repeated after 
documented response. 
4    If serum M-protein is being followed by quantitative immunoglobulin levels derived 
from nephelometry or turbidometry, quantitative immunoglobulins are required.  SPEP 
is only required to document CR or VGPR.  
 
11.3 
Confirmed response  
 
In order to be classified as a hematologic response, confirmation of serum M- protein, 
serum immunoglobulin free light chain (when primary determinant of response) and 
urine M- protein (when primary determinant of response) results must be made by 
verification on two consecutive determinations.

• 
Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy are only required to document CR or sCR, 
except for patients with evaluable disease only, where a bone marrow is required 
to document all response categories including progression. However, a second 
confirmatory bone marrow is not required to confirm response in any case. 
• 
Radiographic studies are not required to satisfy these response requirements; 
however, if radiographic studies were performed there should be no evidence of 
progressive or new bone lesions. 
 
Appropriate tests required to document and confirm response are listed in Table 11.2 
 
11.4 
Bone progression  
 
Caution must be exercised to avoid rating progression on the basis of variation of 
radiologic technique alone.  Compression fracture does not exclude continued response 
and may not indicate progression.  When progression is based on skeletal disease alone, it 
should be discussed with the Study Chair before removing the patient from the study.

definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue 
plasmacytoma 
• Development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium > 
11.5mg/dL) that can be attributed solely to the PC proliferative 
disorder 
Stable Disease (SD) 
Not meeting criteria for sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, MR or PD 
 
a All response categories require two consecutive assessments (sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, MR, PD) made at any time 
before the institution of any new therapy; sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, MR and SD categories also require no known 
evidence of progressive or new bone lesions if radiographic studies were performed. Radiographic studies are not 
required to satisfy these response requirements. Bone marrow assessments need not be confirmed. Each category, 
except for stable disease, will have a working subcategory of “unconfirmed” [prefix ‘u”] to designate first time point 
at which response category MAY have been achieved if confirmed. 
 
b CR patient will need to progress at the same level as VGPR and PR patients to be considered a PD.  A positive 
immunofixation alone is not sufficient. 
 
c If more than one M protein spike meets the criteria for measurable disease at baseline, then both need to be 
followed for response.  Otherwise, only follow the measurable M protein spike for response.   
 
d In patients in whom the only measurable disease is by serum FLC levels: CR in such patients indicates a normal 
FLC ratio of 0.26-1.65 in addition to the CR criteria listed above.

e Bone marrow criteria for PD are only to be used in patients without measurable disease by M protein and by FLC;  
 
f A "25% increase" refers to M protein, FLC and bone marrow results and does not refer to bone lesions, soft tissue 
plasmacytoma or hypercalcemia.  The lowest value does not need to be a confirmed value.  If the lowest serum M-
protein is ≥ 5 g/dL, an increase in serum M-protein of ≥ 1 g/dL is sufficient to define disease progression. 
 
g In the case where a value is felt to be a spurious result per physician discretion (for example, a possible lab error), 
that value will not be considered when determining the lowest value. 
 
h Progressive disease should be confirmed.  However, treatment may be discontinued for progressive disease that is 
unconfirmed per physician discretion.  In this case, an objective status of PD should be entered on the measurement 
form and progressive disease should be reported on the event monitoring form. 
 
i Presence/absence of clonal cells is based upon the k/l ratio. An abnormal k/l ratio by immunohistochemistry 
requires a minimum of 100 plasma cells for analysis. An abnormal ratio reflecting presence of an abnormal clone is 
k/l of 4:1 or 1:2.  
Cohort B (light chain amyloidosis)   – The Amyloidosis Consensus Criteria response criteria will be 
used to assess response to therapy

Hematologic Response Considerations  
11.61 M-protein: synonyms include M-spike, monoclonal protein and myeloma 
protein, monoclonal paraprotein, M-component. 
 
Serum M-protein level is quantitated using densitometry on SPEP except in cases 
where the SPEP is felt to be unreliable.   
• M-proteins migrating in the β-region (usually IgA M-proteins)  
• Cases in which the M-spike is so large and narrow on agarose (some 
specimens >4 g/dL) that they underestimate the actual immunoglobulin 
level (by greater than 1500 mg/dL) due to technical staining properties of 
the agarose gel. 
 
If SPEP is not available or felt to be unreliable (above examples) for routine M-
protein quantitation, then quantitative immunoglobulin levels derived from 
nephelometry or turbidometry can be accepted.  However, this must be explicitly 
reported at baseline, and only nephelometry can be used for that patient to assess 
response. SPEP derived M-spike values and quantitative nephelometric 
immunoglobulin values cannot be used interchangeably.   
 
Urine M-protein measurement is estimated using 24-h UPEP only.  Random or 
24 h urine tests measuring kappa and lambda light chain levels are not reliable

and are not recommended. 
 
FLC estimation is currently carried out using the serum FLC assay (Freelite, The 
Binding Site Limited, UK).  Patients with kappa/lambda FLC ratio <0.26 are 
defined as having monoclonal lambda FLC and those with ratios >1.65 as having 
a monoclonal kappa FLC.  The monoclonal light chain isotype is considered the 
involved FLC isotype, and the opposite light chain type as the uninvolved FLC 
type. 
 
11.62 Response terms: The following response terms will be used: stringent Complete 
Response (sCR), amyloid complete response (ACR), very good partial response 
(VGPR), partial response (PR), minimal response (MR), stable disease or no 
response (SD), and progression or relapse (PD) and relapse from CR (RFCR). 
See Tables for definitions. 
 
In addition, for each response category, there will be an “unconfirmed” response 
category, which will be for internal use, for the purpose of guiding decision 
making and test ordering. These designations will applied at the time of the first 
measurement at which the quantitative aspect of the response category has been 
satisfied without the confirmation step having been satisfied. The designation “u” 
will precede the standard abbreviations, and will include usCR, uACR, uVGPR, 
uPR, uMR, uPD. 
 
11.63 Measurable disease: Patients who have a measurable serum or urine monoclonal 
protein by any of these means.  
• 
serum M-protein is ≥ 1 g/dL  
• 
urine M-spike is ≥ 200 mg/24 hours  
• 
  dFLC 5 mg/dL provided the kappa to lambda free light chain ratio 
is abnormal (primary criteria for response) 
 
The serum free light chain (FLC) assay is the most important parameter of 
response assessment. When using this assay, it is important to note that the FLC 
levels vary considerably with changes in renal function and in patients with renal 
insufficiency, the levels of both the kappa and lambda may remain elevated, but 
the ratio normalizes with achievement of CR. Thus both the level of the involved 
and the uninvolved FLC isotype (i.e., the involved/uninvolved ratio or involved-
uninvolved difference) should be considered in assessing response.

Collection and Processing:   
 
Collect 3ml of blood into chilled 4ml K2 EDTA tube (lavender top tube) per time point. 
Gently invert tube 8-10 times to mix the additive with the collection blood prior to 
centrifugation. Place immediately on wet ice. Centrifuge the container for 30 minutes at 
approximately 3000 rpm at approximately 4ºC in a refrigerated Centrifuge. Immediately 
following centrifugation, gently remove the plasma from the packed cells and aliquot into 
two transfer vials filled with lyophilized citric acid. Each aliquot should contain exactly 
0.500ml of plasma. Vortex split tubes well. Any remaining plasma can be discarded. 
Replace cap on tube and freeze the samples immediately at -70ºC. No more than 60 
minutes will elapse between blood collection and freezing the plasma samples. Keep 
samples frozen at -70ºC or lower until shipment  
 
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Sample Collection and Handling 
 
Blood samples for PK assessment must be collected in 3-mL Vacutainer tubes containing 
K2EDTA as the anticoagulant.  Resulting blood and plasma PK samples must be stored 
in plastic storage tubes with caps.  No blood collection tubes with separation gel should 
be used. 
All tubes must be labeled.  The printed information must include the study number, 
patient identification number, treatment period, and scheduled sampling day and time.  
No other information will be written on the labels. 
Preparation of Plasma Pharmacokinetic Samples 
1. Draw blood into labeled and chilled 3 mL lavender top K2EDTA Vacutainer tube.  
 
2.  Mix the blood with the anticoagulant by gently inverting the tube 8-10 times and 
immediately place on wet ice.   
 
3.  Centrifuge the blood samples for 10 minutes at 1006g at 4º C in a refrigerated 
centrifuge within 10 mins of sample collection  
 
4.  Immediately following centrifugation, gently remove the plasma from the packed 
cells and aliquot into two transfer vial filled with lyophilized citric acid. Each aliquot 
should contain 0.5 mL of plasma. 
 
5. Vortex split tubes thoroughly. Any remaining plasma post split1/split 2 sample 
aliquots should be discarded following appropriate biohazard disposal procedures. 
 
NOTE: If < 0.5 mL plasma is obtained post centrifugation, do not process or store split1 
or split2, record split1: ISV (Insufficient Sample Volume), split2: ISV. If < 1.0 mL 
plasma is obtained post centrifugation, process and store split1 according to procedure; 
do not process or store split2, record split 2: ISV. Discard remaining plasma using 
appropriate biohazard waste disposal procedures. 
 
6. Replace cap on tube and freeze the samples immediately at -70°C

Shipment of Pharmacokinetic Samples 
All pharmacokinetic samples must be sent to the bioanalytical laboratories specified 
below in a single shipment at the end of the study or in multiple shipments as agreed 
upon with the lab (Ixazomib PK samples currently have 618 days of stability and will 
need to be analyzed before reaching the end of their stability).  An inventory list must be 
included with each shipment.  The inventory list must note each specimen drawn for each 
patient, and note any missing specimens.

Ixazomib that is dispensed to the patient for take-home dosing should remain in 
the blister packaging until the point of use. The investigative site is responsible 
for providing the medication to the patient in units that comprise the correct daily 
dose configurations.  Capsules should remain in the blisters until the point of use.  
Ixazomib capsules must be administered as intact capsules and must not be 
opened or manipulated in any way.  Comprehensive instructions should be 
provided to the patient in order to ensure compliance with dosing procedures.  
Patients will be instructed to store the medication in the refrigerator until the time 
of use. Reconciliation will occur accordingly when the patient returns for their 
next cycle of therapy. Any extremes in temperature should be reported as an 
excursion and will be managed on a case by case basis.  Returned unused 
capsules should be discarded in a proper biohazard container. 
 
Ixazomib is an anticancer drug. As with other potentially toxic compounds, 
caution should be exercised when handling Ixazomib.  It is recommended to wear 
gloves and protective garments during preparation when dispensed in clinic. 
Please refer to published guidelines regarding the proper handling and disposal of 
anticancer agents. 
 
15.14 Administration:  Ixazomib capsules must be administered as intact capsules and 
are not intended to be opened or manipulated in any way.  Capsules should be 
taken on an empty stomach with approximately 8 oz (1 cup) of water (no food for 
2 hours before and for 1 hour after dosing). 
 
 
Ixazomib should not be taken if the patient has had a serious allergic reaction to 
boron or boron containing products 
 
15.15 Pharmacokinetic information:  a) Absorption:  After oral dosing, ixazomib is 
rapidly absorbed with a median Tmax of 1 hour.  The lack of a discernible 
relationship between BSA and ixazomib clearance over a relatively wide BSA 
range (1.4-2.6 m2) indicates that total systemic exposure (AUC) following fixed 
dosing should be independent of the individual patient’s BSA.  A high-fat meal 
decreased both the rate and extent of absorption.  Therefore, ixazomib should be 
administered on an empty stomach.   
b) Distribution: The steady state volume of distribution is large and is estimated 
to be 543 L. Ixazomib is 88-94% protein bound. 
c) Metabolism:  Metabolism is the primary route for elimination of ixazomib by 
both CYP and non-CYP enzymes. CYP3A4 and 1A2 comprise the major CYP 
isozymes that contribute to ixazomib metabolism. 
d) Excretion: The mean terminal half-life is 9.5 days.  Renal elimination is a 
minor clearance pathway for ixazomib.  Dosing adjustment is not required in 
patients with mild and moderate renal impairment in studies. However, in a 
dedicated renal impairment study (C16015), unbound AUC0-last was 38% higher 
in patients with severe renal impairment or 
end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis as compared to patients with 
normal renal function.  Accordingly, a reduced starting dose of ixazomib is 
recommended in patients with severe renal impairment and ESRD requiring 
dialysis.  Unbound systemic exposures of ixazomib are 27% higher in patients

with moderate or severe hepatic impairment as compared to patients with normal 
hepatic function.  A reduced starting dose of ixazomib is recommended for 
patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. 
 
    
 
15.16 Potential Drug Interactions:  The PK of Ixazomib was similar with and without 
coadministration of clarithromycin, a strong CYP3A inhibitor, and therefore no 
dose adjustment is necessary when Ixazomib is administered with CYP3A 
inhibitors. In the population PK analysis, coadministration of strong CYP1A2 
inhibitors did not affect Ixazomib clearance. Thus, no dose adjustment is required 
for patients receiving strong CYP1A2 inhibitors. In a clinical rifampin DDI 
study, Ixazomib Cmax and AUC0-last were reduced in the presence of rifampin 
by approximately 54% and 74%, respectively. As a result, the coadministration 
of strong CYP3A inducers with Ixazomib should be avoided.  Ixazomib is neither 
a time-dependent nor reversible inhibitor of CYPs 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 
2D6, or 3A4/5, therefore the potential for Ixazomib to produce DDIs via CYP 
isozyme inhibition is low.  Ixazomib did not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and 
CYP3A4/5 activity.  The potential for Ixazomib to cause DDIs with substrates or 
inhibitors of P-gp, BCRP, MRP2, MATE-1, MATE2-K, OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, 
and OATPs is low. 
 
Pharmacokinetic parameters for Ixazomib coadministered with lenalidomide and 
dexamethasone (LenDex) are similar to those observed when Ixazomib is 
administered as a single agent. This suggests that there is no readily apparent 
effect of coadministration of LenDex on the clinical PK of Ixazomib. 
 
Ixazomib should not be taken if the patient has had a serious allergic reaction to 
boron or boron containing products. 
 
15.17 Known potential toxicities:  See the current version of the Investigator’s 
Brochure for more complete information including potential risks, as well as 
recommendations for clinical monitoring and medical management of toxicity. 
 
Very common (≥10%): anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, 
constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue,     decreased appetite, , 
peripheral neuropathy    
Common (≥1% to <10%): Herpes zoster,   peripheral sensory 
neuropathy, erythema, rash, erythematous rash, pruritic rash, macular rash, 
peripheral edema, upper respiratory tract infection, back pain, maculo-
papular rash, papular rash 
 
Uncommon (≥0.1% to <1%): generalized pruritis, generalized rash    
 
Herpes zoster – antiviral prophylaxis should be considered in patients 
being treated with Ixazomib to decrease the risk of herpes zoster 
reactivation.

Rare but serious risks – intestinal obstruction, pneumonia, life-
threatening severe skin rash (Steven Johnson syndrome, TEN, DRESS 
syndrome), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, tumor lysis syndrome, 
renal failure, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, transverse 
myelitis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. 
Overdose – There is no known specific antidote for Ixazomib overdose.  In 
the event of an overdose in blinded studies, study medication assignment 
should be unblinded immediately.  The clinician should consider admitting 
the patient to the hospital for IV hydration, monitoring for adverse drug 
reactions, monitoring of vital signs, and appropriate supportive care.  
Gavage may be considered, but it should be kept in mind that Ixazomib 
absorption is rapid.  Ixazomib is not readily dialyzable.

Decreased Effect: Antacids and bile acid sequestrants may reduce the 
absorption of corticosteroids; may reduce the absorption of corticosteroids; 
separate administration by 2 hours. Aminoglutethimide, barbiturates, and 
CYP3A4 inducers may reduce the serum levels/effects of dexamethasone 
and dexamethasone may decrease the levels/effects of other CYP3A4 
substrates. Serum concentrations of isoniazid may be decreased by 
corticosteroids. Corticosteroids may lead to a reduction in warfarin effect. 
Corticosteroids may suppress the response to vaccinations. 
Ethanol/Nutrition/Herb Interactions:

Cyclophosphamide for Oral Administration (Cytoxan®, Neosar®, CTX) 
 
15.31 Background: Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent that prevents cell 
division by cross-linking DNA strands and decreasing DNA synthesis. It is a cell 
cycle phase nonspecific agent. Cyclophosphamide also possesses potent 
immunosuppressive activity. Cyclophosphamide is a prodrug that must be 
metabolized to active metabolites in the liver.

Statistical Considerations and Methodology  
 
16.1 
Overview:  This is a phase I/II study of a novel regimen of Ixazomib with 
cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone for treatment in two cohorts of patients:   initial 
treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients requiring therapy (cohort A) and 
treatment of light chain amyloidosis (cohort B).  The phase I study is designed to 
determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and toxicity profile of Ixazomib in 
combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in patients with previously 


 
93  
 
 
 MC1382 
Millennium # X16009 
 
 
MCCC Add 12

untreated multiple myeloma using the standard cohort 3+3 design. The phase II portion is 
designed to assess the complete plus very good partial response rate associated with 
therapy with Ixazomib in combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone, in 
patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma using a single stage phase II study 
design  (cohort A).  As of Addendum 9, a second single stage phase II study design is 
being added to assess the hematologic response rate of this regimen in patients with light 
chain amyloidosis (cohort B).    
 
16.11 
Endpoint: The primary endpoint of the phase I portion of this trial is to assess the 
maximum tolerated dose (MTD).  For cohort A of the phase II portion of this 
trial, the primary endpoint is the rate of complete or very good partial response.  
A success will be defined as a an sCR,a, CR or VGPR noted as the objective 
status on two consecutive evaluations. For cohort B of the phase II portion, the 
primary endpoint is the rate of hematologic response.   A success will be defined 
as an sCR, ACR, VGPR, or PR noted as the objective status on two consecutive 
evaluations.  Response will be evaluated using the first 12 cycles (induction 
therapy).  Throughout Section 16.0, sCR, CR, or VGPR (cohort A) or sCR, ACR, 
VGPR, or PR (cohort B) will be considered synonymous with “success” in the 
phase II portion, unless specified otherwise.    
 
16.12 
Sample Size:  The phase I portion of this study is expected to require a minimum 
of 6 and a maximum of 12 evaluable patients.  The 6 patients treated at the MTD 
in the phase I portion will also be included in the phase II portion.  A maximum 
of 35 additional evaluable patients will be accrued at the MTD dose level for a 
maximum of 41 evaluable patients in the phase II portion of this study. We 
anticipate accruing up to 4 additional patients (1 phase I, 3 phase II) to account 
for ineligibility, cancellation, major treatment violation, or other reasons. 
Therefore, a maximum of 13 patients will be accrued in the phase I portion and a 
maximum of 38 patients will be accrued to the phase II portion for an overall 
maximum of 51 patients for the entire study. 
 
As of Addendum 9, 51 patients have been accrued to cohort A and cohort B is 
being added to the phase II portion of this study.  A maximum of 33 evaluable 
patients will be accrued to cohort B.  We anticipate accruing up to 3 additional 
patients to account for ineligibility, cancellation, major treatment violation, or 
other reasons in cohort B. Therefore, a maximum of 36 patients will be accrued 
to cohort B for an overall maximum of 87 patients for the entire study. 
 
16.13 
Accrual Rate and Study Duration:  The anticipated accrual rate is 3-4 evaluable 
multiple myeloma patients per month.  At this rate, it will likely take about 2.5 
months to enroll, treat, and evaluate each cohort in the phase I portion of this 
study.  The phase I portion is expected to take between 5 and 10 months.  The 
phase II portion of this study will accrue in the subsequent 1 year.  The maximum 
total study duration is expected to be approximately 3 years, or until the last 
patient accrued has been observed for at least 12 months.   
 
As of Addendum 9,   it is anticipated that the accrual rate in cohort B is 3-4 
evaluable light chain amyloidosis patients per month.  It is anticipated that cohort 
B will accrue in approximately 12 months. The maximum total study duration is

expected to be approximately 2 years after Addendum 8 is activated, or until the 
last patient accrued has been observed for at least 12 months.   
 
 
 
Phase I Portion  
 
16.2 
Study Design:  The phase I study is designed to determine the maximally tolerated dose 
(MTD) and toxicity profile of Ixazomib in combination with cyclophosphamide and 
dexamethasone in patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma using the 
standard cohort 3+3 design. Three patients will be treated at each dose level and observed 
for a minimum of four weeks (i.e. one full cycle) before new patients are treated.  Doses 
will not be escalated in any individual patient. 
 
16.21  
MTD Definition: MTD is defined as the dose level below the lowest dose that 
induces dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in at least one-third of patients (at least 2 
of a maximum of 6 new patients). A total of 6 patients treated at the MTD will 
be sufficient to identify common toxicities at the MTD. For instance, those 
toxicities with an incidence of at least 25% will be observed with a probability 
of at least 82% (1-(1-0.25)6). 
 
Refer to Section 7.52 for definition of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). 
 
16.22 
MTD Determination: 
 
Dose Escalation:  The phase I portion of this study will utilize a standard cohort 
of three design.   The dose levels to which patients will be assigned in sequential 
cohorts are described in Section 7.51.   The first cohort of three patients will be 
treated at dose level 0.  Decisions on when and how to dose escalate are 
described below. 
 
16.221  Three patients will be treated at a given dose level combination and 
observed for 1 cycle to assess toxicity.  
 
16.222  If DLT is not seen in any of the 3 patients, 3 new patients will be 
accrued and treated at the next higher dose level. If DLT is seen in 2 or 
3 of 3 patients treated at a given dose level, then the next 3 patients 
will be treated at the next lower dose level, if only 3 patients were 
enrolled and treated at this lower dose level.  
 
16.223  If DLT is seen in 1 of 3 patients treated at a given dose level, up to 3 
additional patients will be enrolled and treated at the same dose level. 
If DLT is seen in at least one of these additional three patients (≥2 of 
6), the MTD will have been exceeded and further accrual will cease to 
this cohort. If dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is not seen in any of the 
three additional patients, 3 new patients will be accrued and treated at 
the next higher dose level.  
 
16.224  After enrolling 6 patients on a specific dose level, if DLT is observed 
in at least 2 of 6 patients, then the MTD will have been exceeded and

defined as the previous dose unless only 3 patients were treated at the 
lower dose level. In that case, 3 additional patients will be treated at 
this lower dose level such that a total of 6 patients are treated at the 
MTD to more fully assess the toxicities associated with the MTD. 
 
16.225  Dose de-escalation: If dose-limiting toxicity meets the stopping 
boundaries set by the above dose escalation algorithm at dose level 0 
(for example, more than 1 out of 3 patients or more than 1 out of 6 
patients), the next cohort of three patients will be entered at a dose 
level of -1. If dose level -1 meets the stopping boundaries, the next 
cohort of three patients will be entered at dose level -2.  Further dose 
re-escalation will depend on the toxicity profile observed at these dose 
levels, and re-evaluation of the regimen by the study team may be 
done. 
 
16.226  If a patient fails to complete the first cycle of treatment for reasons 
other than toxicity, the patient will be regarded as inevaluable and will 
be replaced.    
 
16.227  Operating Characteristics for standard cohort of 3 design: The following 
table gives the probability of dose escalation at a single dose level as a 
function of the true probability of DLT at that level using the cohorts 
of 3 design described above.

16.23 Analysis Plans: All the relevant results pertaining to toxicity, MTD, response, 
timed endpoints and laboratory correlates will be examined in an exploratory 
and hypothesis-generating fashion. The small sample size and the heterogeneous 
patient population associated with phase I studies restricts the generalizability of 
the results. Any notable statistical result should only be viewed as preliminary 
evidence for further study in Phase II trials rather than a definitive finding in and 
of itself. 
 
16.231  Adverse Events Profile 
 
The number and severity of all adverse events (overall and by dose-
level) will be tabulated and summarized in this patient population. The 
Grade 3+ adverse events will also be described and summarized in a 


 
96  
 
 
 MC1382 
Millennium # X16009 
 
 
MCCC Add 12 
 
Protocol Version Date:    February 23, 2021 
 
similar fashion. This will provide an indication of the level of tolerance 
for this treatment combination in this patient group.  
 
16.232  Toxicity Profile 
 
The term toxicity is defined as adverse events that are classified as 
either possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment.  Non-
hematologic toxicities will be evaluated via the ordinal CTC standard 
toxicity grading. Hematologic toxicity measures of thrombocytopenia, 
neutropenia, and leukopenia will be assessed using continuous variables 
as the outcome measures (primarily nadir) as well as categorization via 
CTC standard toxicity grading. 
  
Overall toxicity incidence as well as toxicity profiles by dose level, 
patient and tumor site will be explored and summarized. Frequency 
distributions, graphical techniques and other descriptive measures will 
form the basis of these analyses.  
 
 
16.233  Response Profile   
 
A response is defined to be a CR, VGPR, or PR noted as the objective 
status.  Response will be evaluated using all cycles of treatment.  All 
patients meeting the eligibility criteria who have signed a consent form 
and have begun treatment will be evaluable for response.  
 
Responses will be summarized by simple descriptive summary statistics 
delineating complete and partial responses as well as stable and 
progressive disease in this patient population.  
 
Phase II Portion  
 
16.3  
Statistical Design: 
 
 
 
Cohort A (multiple myeloma): 
 
16.31 Decision Rule:   
 
A combination of lenalidomide plus dexamethasone, an oral regimen, is the 
mainstay therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.  In a large multi-center 
study, 208 patients were evaluated for response to treatment with lenalidomide 
plus low dose dexamethasone.8  Eighty-four patients (40%) achieved a complete 
or very good partial response.  Ixazomib in combination with cyclophosphamide 
and dexamethasone is another fully oral regimen.  An increase in the rate of 
complete plus very good partial response compared to lenalidomide plus 
dexamethasone would be of interest.    
 
The largest success proportion where the proposed treatment regimen would be 
considered ineffective in this population is 40%, and the smallest success 


 
97  
 
 
 MC1382 
Millennium # X16009 
 
 
MCCC Add 12 
 
Protocol Version Date:    February 23, 2021 
 
proportion that would warrant subsequent studies with the proposed regimen in 
this patient population is 60%. The following one-stage binomial design requires 
41 evaluable patients (35 from phase II and 6 from the MTD portion of phase I) 
to test the null hypothesis that the true success proportion in this patient 
population is at most 40%.  
 
 
16.311 
Final Decision Rule:  If 20 or fewer successes are observed in the first 
41 evaluable patients, we will consider this regimen ineffective in this 
patient population. Otherwise, if the number of successes is at least 21, 
this will be considered evidence of promising activity and the 
treatment may be recommended for further testing in subsequent 
studies.    
16.312 
Over Accrual: If more than the target number of patients are accrued, 
the additional patients will not be used to evaluate the stopping rule or 
used in any decision making process.  Analyses involving over accrued 
patients are discussed in Section 16.44. 
 
16.32 Power and Significance Level:  Assuming that the number of successes is 
binomially distributed, the significance level is .10, i.e. there is a 10% chance of 
finding the drug to be effective when it truly is not.  The probability of declaring 
that this regimen warrants further study (i.e. statistical power) under various 
success proportions can be tabulated as a function of the true success proportion 
as shown in the following table. 
 
If the true success proportion is... 
0.40 
0.45 
0.50 
0.55 
0.60 
Then the probability of declaring 
that the regimen warrants further 
study is… 
0.10 
0.26 
0.50 
0.74 
0.90 
 
16.33 Other considerations:  Adverse events, quality/duration of response, and patterns 
of treatment failure observed in this study, as well as scientific discoveries or 
changes in standard care will be taken into account in any decision to terminate 
the study.  
 
Cohort B (light chain amyloidosis): 
 
16.34  Decision Rule:   
 
The largest success proportion where the proposed treatment regimen would be 
considered ineffective in this population is 30%, and the smallest success 
proportion that would warrant subsequent studies with the proposed regimen in 
this patient population is 50%. The following one-stage binomial design requires 
33 evaluable patients to test the null hypothesis that the true success proportion in 
this patient population is at most 30%.  
 
16.341 
Final Decision Rule:  If 13 or fewer successes are observed in the first 
33 evaluable patients, we will consider this regimen ineffective in this 
patient population. Otherwise, if the number of successes is at least 14,

this will be considered evidence of promising activity and the 
treatment may be recommended for further testing in subsequent 
studies.    
 
16.342 
Over Accrual: If more than the target number of patients are accrued, 
the additional patients will not be used to evaluate the stopping rule or 
used in any decision making process.  Analyses involving over accrued 
patients are discussed in Section 16.44. 
 
16.35 Power and Significance Level:  Assuming that the number of successes is 
binomially distributed, the significance level is .09, i.e. there is a 9% chance of 
finding the drug to be effective when it truly is not.  The probability of declaring 
that this regimen warrants further study (i.e. statistical power) under various 
success proportions can be tabulated as a function of the true success proportion 
as shown in the following table. 
 
If the true success proportion is... 
0.30 
0.35 
0.40 
0.45

Then the probability of declaring 
that the regimen warrants further 
study is…

16.36 Other considerations:  Adverse events, quality/duration of response, and patterns 
of treatment failure observed in this study, as well as scientific discoveries or 
changes in standard care will be taken into account in any decision to terminate 
the study. 
 
 
16.4 
Analysis Plan 
 
16.41 Primary Outcome Analyses: 
 
16.411 Definition:  For cohort A, the   primary endpoint in the phase II portion 
of this trial is the proportion of complete plus very good partial 
responses.  A success is defined as a  sCR, CR or VGPR noted as the 
objective status on two consecutive evaluations.  For cohort B of the 
phase II portion, the primary endpoint is the rate of hematologic 
response.   A success will be defined as an sCR, ACR, VGPR, or PR      
noted as the objective status on two consecutive evaluations.  Response 
will be evaluated using the first 12 cycles (induction therapy). All 
patients meeting the eligibility criteria who have signed a consent form 
and have begun treatment will be evaluable for response. 
 
16.412 Estimation:  In each cohort independently, the proportion of successes 
will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number 
of evaluable patients. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the 
true success proportions will be calculated. 
 
16.42 Secondary Outcome Analyses (to be evaluated in each cohort independently)

 MC1382 
Millennium # X16009 
 
 
MCCC Add 12 
 
Protocol Version Date:    February 23, 2021 
 
16.421 Survival time is defined as the time from registration to death due to any 
cause. The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the 
method of Kaplan-Meier33.  
 
16.422    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from registration to the 
earliest date of documentation of disease progression or death due to 
any cause. The distribution of progression-free survival will be 
estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier 
 
16.423 Adverse Events:  All eligible patients that have initiated treatment will be 
considered evaluable for assessing adverse event rate(s).  The maximum 
grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, 
and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns.  
Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study 
treatment will be taken into consideration. 
 
16.424 Cohort B only:  For each disease site (heart, renal, liver, neuropathy), the 
organ response rate will be estimated by the total number of patients who 
have an organ response divided by the total number of evaluable patients 
who had involvement in that organ at baseline.  Exact binomial 95% 
confidence intervals for the true organ response rates will be calculated.   
 
16.43   Correlative Analyses 
 
16.431  Cohort A only:  Individual and mean plasma concentration data will be 
plotted over time. A summary table will be presented for the plasma 
concentration data. PK parameters will be estimated using 
noncompartmental analysis methods. The plasma PK parameters 
calculated for individual plasma Ixazomib concentration-time data will 
include, but are not limited to: Cmax, Tmax, and AUC. PK parameters 
will be summarized using descriptive statistics. 
 
16.432 The FACT/GOG neurotoxicity questionnaire will be completed by 
patients at baseline, after each cycle for the first 4 cycles, and then every 
three cycles.  Patients will be evaluated by overall score at each time 
point and changes over time will be calculated.  These measures will be 
correlated with outcome using Fisher’s exact test and Kaplan-Meier 
methods where appropriate. 
 
16.44 Over Accrual: If more than the target number of patients are accrued, the 
additional patients will not be used to evaluate the stopping rule or used in any 
decision making processes; however, they will be included in final endpoint 
estimates and confidence intervals. 
 
16.5 
Data & Safety Monitoring: 
 
16.51 The principle investigator(s) and the study statistician will review the study at 
least twice a year to identify accrual, adverse event, and any endpoint problems 
that might be developing. The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center (MCCC) Data Safety

 MC1382 
Millennium # X16009 
 
 
MCCC Add 12 
 
Protocol Version Date:    February 23, 2021 
 
Monitoring Board (DSMB) is responsible for reviewing accrual and safety data 
for this trial at least twice a year, based on reports provided by the MCCC 
Statistical Office. 
 
16.52 Adverse Event Stopping Rules (includes all phase II patients, including phase I 
patients treated at the MTD to be evaluated in each phase II cohort separately):   
The stopping rules specified below are based on the knowledge available at study 
development.  We note that the Adverse Event Stopping Rule may be adjusted in 
the event of either (1) the study re-opening to accrual or (2) at any time during 
the conduct of the trial and in consideration of newly acquired information 
regarding the adverse event profile of the treatment(s) under investigation.  The 
study team may choose to suspend accrual because of unexpected adverse event 
profiles that have not crossed the specified rule below. 
 
Accrual will be temporarily suspended to this study if at any time we observe 
events considered at least possibly related to study treatment (i.e. an adverse 
event with attribute specified as  “possible,” “probable,” or “definite”) that 
satisfy one of the following: 
 
• 
if 5 or more patients in the first 15 treated patients experience a grade 4 or 
higher non-hematologic adverse event at least possibly related to treatment. 
 
• 
if after the first 15 patients have been treated, 40% of all patients experience 
a grade 4 or higher non-hematologic adverse event at least possibly related to 
treatment.  
 
We note that we will review grade 4 and 5 adverse events deemed “unrelated” or 
“unlikely to be related”, to verify their attribution and to monitor the emergence 
of a previously unrecognized treatment-related adverse event. 
 
16.6   Results Reporting on ClinicalTrials.gov: At study activation, this study will have been 
registered within the “ClincialTrails.gov” website. The Primary and Secondary Endpoints 
along with other required information for this study will be reported on 
www.ClinicalTrials.gov. For purposes of timing of the Results Reporting, the initial 
estimated completion date for the Primary Endpoint of this study is 2 years after the study 
opens to accrual to cohort B. The definition of “Primary Endpoint Completion Date” 
(PECD) for this study is at the time the last patient registered has been followed for at 
least 12 months. 
 
16.7 
Inclusion of Women and Minorities 
 
16.71 This study will be available to all eligible patients, regardless of race, gender, or 
ethnic origin. 
 
16.72 There is no information currently available regarding differential effects of this 
regimen in subsets defined by race, gender, or ethnicity, and there is no reason to 
expect such differences to exist. Therefore, although the planned analysis will, as 
always, look for differences in treatment effect based on racial and gender

groupings, the sample size is not increased in order to provide additional power 
for subset analyses. 
 
16.73 The geographical region served by MCCC has a population which includes 
approximately 3% minorities.  Based on prior MCCC studies involving similar 
disease sites, we expect about 3-5% of patients will be classified as minorities by 
race and about 33% of patients will be women. Expected sizes of racial by 
gender subsets are shown in the following table:

Other Information:  
 
A description of this clinical trial will be available on http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov, as required 
by U.S. Law. This Web site will not include information that can identify you. At most, the Web 
site will include a summary of the results. You can search this Web site at any time. 
 
 
1. 
Why are you being asked to take part in this research study? 
 
 
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have been diagnosed with a condition 
called Light Chain Amyloidosis that requires treatment.  
 
The plan is to have about 87 people take part in this study at Mayo Clinic. 
 
 
2. 
Why is this research study being done? 
 
 
Various treatment options are available for treatment of your condition. One of the commonly 
used treatments is the combination of a drug called bortezomib with two other drugs, 
cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone.  Ixazomib is similar to bortezomib (VELCADE), but can 
be given as a pill instead of injection. It is thought that Ixazomib will interfere with the process 
of protein breakdown in the plasma cells that are responsible for the light chain amyloidosis. 
This study is being done to find out the effects (good and bad) of treating amyloidosis with the 
combination of Ibixazomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone.   
 
The drug (Ixazomib) as used in this study is considered investigational, which means it has either 
not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for routine clinical use or for the 
use described in this study, however the FDA has approved the use in this research study. 
 
Cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone are both FDA approved, however their use in this 
research study is considered investigational.

• Patient medication diary 
• 
X-ray skeletal survey (every 6 cycles) 
 
Every 14 days (for 3 months) 
• Routine Blood and urine tests 
 
During The Study 
• Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy will be done at the end of 4 cycles and 12 cycles of 
treatment, and an additional sample if required to confirm that your disease is in 
remission  
 
Maintenance Phase: 
• Physical Exam, including, weight, vitals and height and assessment of your ability to 
carry out daily activities  
• Routine Blood and urine tests 
• Patient medication diary (monthly) 
 
As of amendment 12;   
You may receive treatment locally, provided the ixazomib can be sent, and provided it is feasible to 
have the evaluations required by the protocol completed remotely or through your local healthcare 
facilities. You will need to return to the enrolling institution every 3rd cycle.

What are the possible risks or discomforts from being in this research 
study? 
 
 
POTENTIAL DISCOMFORTS AND RISKS OF MLN9708 
 
Based on studies of ixazomib it is possible to predict some of the discomforts and risks. 
However, it is possible that ixazomib may cause risks that have not yet been observed in patients.  
The following risks might be seen:   
 
Common risks of Ixazomib (MLN9708) (events occurring greater than 20% of the time) 
• Feeling sick to your stomach (Nausea) 
• Throwing up (Vomiting) 
• Loose Stool (Diarrhea) 
• Constipation 
• Feeling tired or weak

you at increased risk of bleeding (Thrombocytopenia) 
• A low number of white blood cells, which are the infection fighting cells, which could 
put you at risk for infection (Neutropenia) 
• A low number of a particular white blood cell, which is important to the immune system 
(Lymphopenia)

called uric acid, phosphorus, potassium, creatinine, and calcium. Severe tumor lysis can 
result in kidney failure and may harm muscle or nerve function (Tumor lysis syndrome) 
•    High creatinine and renal failure. The amount of creatinine (a waste product made by 
your body) in your blood helps your doctor understand how your kidneys are working. 
High creatinine means your kidneys are having trouble working well. Patients who had 
lost body water because of vomiting and/or loose stools have had high levels of creatinine 
indicating that the kidneys were failing to function adequately. In some severe situations, 
less kidney function may require temporary treatment with a machine that supports the 
function of the kidney (dialysis). 
• Blockage of your bowel function 
• Severe rash that can lead to skin peeling and life threatening complications (Stevens 
Johnson syndrome) 
• A condition that can be associated with abnormal neurological function and seizures 
(posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; PRES) 
• Inflammation of the spinal cord (transverse myelitis)

Name and Clinic Number 
The risks of drawing blood include pain, bruising, and rarely, infection at the site of the needle 
stick. 
 
Pregnancy and Birth Control:  
 
RISK TO THE UNBORN CHILD (MEN AND WOMEN) 
Female subjects: We do not know if the study drug Ixazomib will affect mother’s milk or an 
unborn child. Therefore, breast-feeding and pregnant women are not allowed to take part in the 
study.  Due to unknown risks and potential harm to the unborn child/ infant, you should not 
become pregnant or nurse a baby while on this study. 
 
You must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrolling in the study. 
 
Unless you cannot have children because of surgery or other medical reasons (you had an 
effective tubal ligation, or had the ovaries or the uterus removed; or you are post-menopausal), 
you must use two effective methods of birth control from the time of signing the informed 
consent form, for the entire study drug treatment period, and for 90 days after completing study 
drug treatment.  It is strongly recommended that at least one of these two methods be highly 
effective (see examples below). 
 
Highly effective methods 
Other effective methods (barrier methods) 
Intra-uterine devices (IUD) 
Latex condom with a spermicidal agent 
Hormonal (birth control pills/oral 
contraceptives, injectable 
contraceptives, contraceptive 
patches, or contraceptive implants) 
Diaphragm with spermicide; Cervical cap with 
a spermicide; Sponge with a spermicide 
If one of the highly effective methods cannot be used, using two effective methods at the 
same time are recommended. 
 
You must use birth control methods as directed above, unless you completely avoid having 
heterosexual intercourse.  
 
Male subjects: We do not know if using Ixazomib will affect sperm. Therefore, due to potential 
risk, you should not get your partner pregnant during the study drug treatment period. Even if 
you are surgically sterilized (i.e. have had a vasectomy) you must agree to use an appropriate 
method of barrier contraception (latex condom with a spermicidal agent) during the entire study 
drug treatment period, and for four months after completing study drug treatment. Or, you should 
completely avoid having heterosexual intercourse.

If one of the highly effective methods cannot be used, using two effective methods at the 
same time are recommended. 
 
All subjects (male or female): If you or your partner becomes pregnant during this study, you 
must tell the study doctor immediately. The doctor will advise you of the possible risks to your 
unborn child and discuss options for managing the pregnancy with you. For female subjects who 
become pregnant while on this study, the study drug will be stopped immediately and the 
pregnancy will be followed until conclusion. 
 
Risk summary  
 
Many side effects go away shortly after the Ixazomib is stopped, but in some cases side effects 
can be serious, long lasting, or may never go away.  There may be a risk of death. 
 
Some side effects may not be known.  Side effects may range from mild to life-threatening. 
Other drugs may be given to make side effects less serious and less uncomfortable.  Talk to the 
researcher and/or your healthcare provider about side effects and ask any other questions. 
 
Cyclophosphamide 
 
Likely (happening greater than 20% of the time) 
• Feeling sick to the stomach  
• Throwing up 
• Loss of appetite 
• Watery stools 
• Yellowing of the skin 
• Lowering of your blood cell counts which could cause infection or bleeding and you may 
have to have a blood transfusion.  Contact your study doctor right away if you develop 
any signs of infection such as fever, chills, persistent sore throat 
 
Less likely (happening less than or equal to 20% of the time) 
• Escape of the drug from the vein may cause soreness or severe pain and redness in that 
area; pain, redness, and soreness of a vein 
• Temporary hair loss.  Regrowth may have a different color or texture.

Name and Clinic Number 
• Bladder irritation.  This can cause pain, blood in the urine, unusual decrease in the 
amount of urine, dark urine, and scarring of the bladder.  If you drink 8 to 10 glasses of 
water a day and empty the bladder frequently, you can avoid this side effect. 
• Damage to the female sex organs.  Women who are still having periods may not have 
them every month or they may stop altogether for a time.  A woman may not be able to 
get pregnant again. 
• Sores in the mouth 
 
Rare but serious (happening less than 3% of the time) 
• Secondary leukemia and/or myelodysplastic syndrome (damage to the bone marrow that 
affects normal blood cell production)  
• Allergic reaction (rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, wheezing, tightness in the throat) 
• Black/bloody stools 
• Severe stomach/abdominal pain 
• Mental/mood changes 
• Muscle weakness/spasms 
• Swelling of the ankles/feet 
• Sudden or unusual weight gain 
• Headache 
• Dizziness 
• Metallic taste 
• Abnormal liver tests 
• Heart failure has been reported but rarely at the doses given in this study.  This can also 
happen if cyclophosphamide is used in combination with radiation treatment or certain 
other chemotherapy drugs (e.g., doxorubicin).  Seek immediate medical attention if you 
develop chest pain, jaw/left arm pain, trouble breathing, and irregular heartbeat. 
• Scarring of the lungs causing coughing spells and shortness of breath 
 
Side effects may be higher by using other drugs with cyclophosphamide.  Phenobarbital raises 
the effect of cyclophosphamide on your blood cells.  Other drug interactions have been reported.  
If you need anesthesia within 10 days of taking cyclophosphamide, you should let your 
anesthesiologist know about your treatment.
