Abstract
We report the first clinical investigation conducted in Japan to confirm the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ixazomib alone and combined with lenalidomide–dexamethasone (Rd) in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Adult patients with measurable disease and ≥2 prior lines of therapy received oral ixazomib 4.0 mg on days 1, 8, 15 alone or combined with lenalidomide 25 mg on days 1–21 and dexamethasone 40 mg on days 1, 8, 15, 22 in 28-day cycles. Fourteen patients who had received a median of seven prior therapies were enrolled (seven per cohort). One of six evaluable patients in each cohort experienced dose-limiting toxicities [diarrhea, nausea, hypokalemia, hypertension, thrombocytopenia, hyponatremia (ixazomib cohort); thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia (ixazomib + Rd cohort)]. The most common drug-related adverse events were neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and lymphopenia. Drug-related grade ≥3 adverse events occurring in ≥3 patients per cohort were (ixazomib/ixazomib + Rd cohort, n): neutropenia (4/2), thrombocytopenia (3/2), and lymphopenia (5/2). Ixazomib was rapidly absorbed with a median T
max of approximately 1–2-h post-dose, and had a geometric mean terminal half-life of 5–6 days. Of 13 response-evaluable patients, one achieved a partial response (duration ∼38 weeks; ixazomib cohort) and seven had stable disease.
