| Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
The drug being tested in this study is called ixazomib. Ixazomib is being tested to slow disease progression and improve overall survival in Chinese participants who have newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who have had a major positive response to initial therapy and have not undergone stem cell transplantation (SCT). This study will look at the effect of ixazomib has on the length of time that participants are free of disease progression and their overall survival. After the implementation of Amendment 8, participants who received placebo-matching capsules before unblinding and have not yet experienced disease progression will cross over to receive ixazomib.
The study will enroll approximately 30 patients. Participants will be assigned to a single treatment group
• Ixazomib
All participants will be asked to take one capsule on Days 1, 8, and 15 of every 28-day cycle, for up to approximately 24 months (equivalent to 26 cycles [if no cycle delays], to the nearest complete cycle) or until documented progressive disease (PD) or intolerable toxicity, whichever occurs first.
This multi-center trial will be conducted in China. The overall time to participate in this study is until a total of approximately up to 60 months. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and every 4 weeks until the next line of therapy begins for a follow-up assessment.

- Percentage of Participants who Achieve or Maintain Best Response Before PD or up to Subsequent Therapy [From the date of first dose of study drug to every 4 weeks after PD or next line therapy or death from any cause (approximately 60 months)]
Response will be assessed as per the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Best response will include partial responses (PR), very good partial response (VGPR) and complete response (CR). PR is defined as >=50% reduction of serum M-component, urinary M- component by >=90% to <200 mg/24-hour reduction; >=50% in the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC; bone marrow plasma cells (PC) >/=30%; reduction >/=50% reduction in the soft tissue size. VGPR is defined as serum or urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis; >=90% reduction in serum or urine M-component level <100 mg/24 hour. CR is defined as negative immunofixation on the serum and urine; soft tissue plasmacytomas disappearance; <5% PCs in bone marrow.
- Duration of Complete Response (CR) [From the date of first dose of study drug to every 4 weeks after PD or next line therapy or death from any cause (approximately 60 months)]
Duration of CR is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug or the date of CR to the date of first documentation of PD. CR is defined as negative immunofixation on the serum and urine; soft tissue plasmacytomas disappearance; <5% PCs in bone marrow.

- Time to Next-Line Therapy (TTNT) [From the date of first dose of study drug to every 4 weeks after PD or next line therapy or death from any cause (approximately 60 months)]
TTNT is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of the first dose of next-line of antineoplastic therapy.
- Percentage of Participants With A New Primary Malignancy [From the date of first dose of study drug to every 4 weeks after PD or next line therapy or death from any cause or termination of the study (approximately 60 months)]
Percentage of participants with a new primary malignancy will be reported.
- European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC) QLQ-C30 [From the date of first dose of study drug to every 4 weeks after PD or next line therapy or death from any cause (approximately 60 months)]
The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC) QLQ-C30 is completed by the participant. The EORTC QLQ-30 contains 30 questions that incorporate 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The participant answers questions about their health during the past week. There are 28 questions answered on a 4-point scale where 1=not at all (best) to 4=very much (worst) and 2 questions answered on a 7-point scale where 1=very poor (worst) to 7= excellent (best).
- Correlation Between Frailty Status and PFS and OS [From the date of first dose of study drug to every 12 weeks during follow-up after PD or next line therapy or death whichever occurs later (approximately 60 months)]
Participants frailty status will be assessed on basis of 4 components: age(<75, 75- 80, and>80 years correspond to frailty scores of 0, 1, and 2, respectively), Charlson comorbidity scoring system without age weighting (scores of ≤ 1 and ≥ 2 correspond to frailty scores of 0 and 1, respectively), Katz index of independence in activities of daily living (scores of >4 and ≤4 correspond to frailty scores of 0 and 1, respectively) and Lawton instrumental activities of daily living scale (scores of >5 and ≤5 correspond to frailty scores of 0 and 1, respectively). The sum of the 4 frailty scores equals the total frailty score. A total frailty score of 0 corresponds to a frailty status of fit; a total score of 1, to unfit; and a total score of 2 or more, to frail. PFS is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to the first occurrence of PD as evaluated by the investigator. OS will be measured as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of death.
- Plasma Concentration of Ixazomib [Cycle1 Day1(1,4 hours post-dose),pre-dose Cycle1 on Days8 and 15;pre-dose Cycle2 on Days1 and 8;pre-dose Cycles 3-5 on Day1;pre-dose Cycle5 on Day8(only for those who have dose escalated after Cycle4); pre-dose Cycles 6-10 on Day 1;each cycle of 28 days]
- Time to Resolution of Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) Events [From the date of first dose of study drug to next-line therapy or 6 months after PD (approximately 60 months)]
PN is defined as the treatment-emergent adverse event in the high-level term of peripheral neuropathies not elsewhere classified (NEC) according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). A PN event is considered as resolved if its final outcome is resolved with no subsequent PN event of the same preferred term occurring on the resolution date or the day before and after. Time to resolution is defined as the time from the initial onset date (inclusive) to the resolution date for resolved events.
- Time to Improvement of PN Events [From the date of first dose of study drug to next-line therapy or 6 months after PD (approximately 60 months)]
PN is defined as the treatment-emergent adverse event in the high-level term of peripheral neuropathies not elsewhere classified (NEC) according to the MedDRA. A PN event is considered to be improved if the event improves from the maximum grade; that is, all the grades recorded after the maximum grade are less than the maximum grade. Time to improvement is defined as the time from the initial onset date (inclusive) of the maximum grade to the first onset date that the toxicity grade is below the maximum grade with no higher grade thereafter, or the resolution date, whichever occurs first.
