E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Phase I:
DLT, MTD, and RP2D of oral ixazomib when added to a standard care regimen of MP

|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Phase 1
Only DLTs occurring in Cycle 1 in phase 1 will necessarily influence decisions regarding dose escalation, expansion of a dose level, or evaluation of intermediate dose levels. However, DLTs occurring in later cycles may be taken into consideration for dose-escalation decisions, at the discretion of the investigators/sponsor. The MTD or RP2D estimation will be made following evaluation of the available data from Phase 1. The RP2D will require first-cycle DLTs in not more than 1 in 6 DLT-evaluable patients enrolled in a single cohort.
Phase 2
Arm B Induction Period: End of each 28 day cycle.
Arm C&D Induction Period: End of each 42 day cycle |
