PG - 338-46 LID - 10.1007/s10637-016-0346-7 [doi] AB - Background Ixazomib is the first oral, small molecule proteasome inhibitor to reach phase 3 trials. The current analysis characterized the exposure-safety and exposure-efficacy relationships of ixazomib in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) with a purpose of recommending an approach to ixazomib dosing for maintenance therapy. Methods Logistic regression was used to investigate relationships between ixazomib plasma exposure (area under the curve/day; derived from individual apparent clearance values from a published population pharmacokinetic analysis) and safety/efficacy outcomes (hematologic [grade >/= 3 vs /= 2 vs /=stable disease vs progressive disease]) using phase 1 data in relapsed/refractory MM (NCT00963820; N = 44). Results Significant relationships to ixazomib exposure were observed for five AEs (neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, rash, fatigue, and diarrhea) and clinical benefit (p < 0.05). Dose-response relationships indicated a favorable benefit/risk ratio at 3 mg and 4 mg weekly, which are below the maximum tolerated dose of 5.5 mg. At 3 mg, the model predicted that: 37 % of patients will achieve clinical benefit; incidence of grade >/= 3 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia will be 10 % and 23 %, respectively; and incidence of grade >/= 2 rash, fatigue, and diarrhea will be 8 %, 19 %, and 19 %, respectively. Conclusions Based on the findings, patients in the phase 3 maintenance trial will initiate ixazomib at a once-weekly dose of 3 mg, increasing to 4 mg if acceptable tolerability after 4 cycles, to provide maximum clinical benefit balanced with adequate tolerability.
