E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the effect of ixazomib maintenance therapy on progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, compared with placebo, in patients with NDMM who have had a major response - defined as complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) - to initial therapy and who have not undergone SCT.
Assessment of several study objectives was completed at the time of the first interim analysis (IA). Upon implementation of Amendment 07, data collected after the first IA will be used to assess OS (overall survival), PFS2 (progession-free survival), patient reported outcomes, and safety only. The above mentioned objective is retained for reference only. |

Upon implementation of Amendment 07, data collected after the first IA will be used to assess OS (overall survival), PFS2 (progession-free survival), patient reported outcomes, and safety only.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Adult male or female patients aged 18 years or older with a confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic NDMM according to standard criteria.

3. Documented major response (PR, VGPR, CR) according to the IMWG uniform response criteria, version 2011, after this initial therapy.
4. Female patients who
-Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR
-Are surgically sterile, OR
- If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 90 days after the last dose of study drug, or
- Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)
Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy), who:
-Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study
Treatment period and through 90 days after the last dose of study drug, or
-Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods for the female partner] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)
5. Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study-related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
6. Complete documentation of the details of the initial therapy before randomization including cytogenetics and ISS is available.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 0 to 2
8. Suitable venous access for the study-required blood sampling and consent for the specific amounts that will be taken.

12. Ongoing or active infection, known human immunodeficiency virus positive, active hepatitis B or C infection
13. Comorbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease that, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens (eg, PN that is Grade 1 with pain or Grade 2 or higher of any cause).
14. Psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements.
15. Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues, or excipients in the various formulations of any agent.
16. Inability to swallow oral medication, inability or unwillingness to comply with the drug administration requirements, or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of treatment.
17. Treatment with any investigational products within 30 days before randomization. |
