E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Maintenance treatment - To compare progression free survival between maintenance therapy with Ixazomib versus placebo, both following induction therapy with ixazomib citrate – thalidomide – low dose dexamethasone
Induction treatment - To determine overall response* rate of induction therapy with ixazomib citrate – thalidomide – low dose dexamethasone * overall response will be defined as (stringent) complete response, very good partial response and partial response

|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
-To determine toxicity, polyneuropathy in specific, during induction treatment and maintenance treatment -To determine progression free survival and overall survival from registration -To compare the efficacy between maintenance treatment with ixazomib citrate versus placebo determined as overall survival from randomization -To determine the efficacy of maintenance therapy determined as an improvement in response during maintenance treatment -To determine efficacy of induction therapy determined as time to response -To determine feasibility, defined as discontinuation rate due to toxicity, during induction treatment and maintenance treatment -To determine time to next treatment -To determine PFS on second line therapy -To determine Quality of Life during induction treatment and maintenance therapy - To identify clinical, imaging related and molecular markers prognostic and predictive for outcome and toxicity -To establish second primary malignancies |

(Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.) -Male patients, even if surgically sterilized, (i.e., status post vasectomy) must agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study period and through 90 days after the last dose of study drug, AND must also adhere to the guidelines of any treatment-specific pregnancy prevention program (for thalidomide), OR agrees to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse (Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues, or excipients in the various formulations of any agent - Systemic AL amyloidosis - Polyneuropathy, grade 3 or higher or grade 2 with pain on clinical examination during the screening period - Evidence of current uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, including uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months - Severe pulmonary dysfunction (Modified Medical Research Counsil dyspnea scale classification III-IV) - Significant hepatic dysfunction (total bilirubin ≥ 1.5 x ULN or transaminases ≥ 3 times normal level) except patient’s with Gilbert’s syndrome as defined by > 80% unconjugated bilirubin - Creatinine clearance <30 ml/min - Systemic treatment with strong inhibitors of CYP1A2 (fluvoxamine, enoxacin, ciprofloxacin), strong inhibitors of CYP3A (clarithromycin, telithromycin, itraconazole, voriconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, posaconazole) or strong CYP3A inducers (rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital), or use of Ginkgo biloba or St. John’s wort within 14 days before registration in the study - Pre-treatment with cytostatic drug, IMIDs or proteasome inhibitors. Radiotherapy or a short course of steroids (e.g. 4 day treatment of dexamethasone 40 mg/day or equivalent) are allowed. Radiotherapy should not be given within 14 days before enrollment. In case of radiotherapy, if the involved field is small, 7 days will be considered a sufficient interval between treatment and administration of the ixazomib citrate - Not able and/or not willing to use adequate contraception - Female patients who are lactating or have a positive serum pregnancy test during the screening period, - Major surgery within 14 days before enrollment. - Central nervous system involvement. - Ongoing or active systemic infection, active hepatitis B or C virus infection, or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. - Known GI disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of MLN9708 ixazomib citraat including difficulty swallowing. - Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 2 years before study enrollment or previously diagnosed with another malignancy and have any evidence of residual disease. Patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection. - Participation in other clinical trials, including those with other investigational agents not included in this trial, within 21days of the start of this trial and throughout the duration of this trial. - Any serious medical or psychiatric illness, or familial, sociological and geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule
