Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to provide continued access of ixazomib and/or other study medications and to continue collecting relevant safety data to monitor participant's safety, determine whether dexamethasone plus IXAZOMIB improves hematologic response, 2-year vital organ (that is, heart or kidney) deterioration and mortality rate versus a physician's choice of a chemotherapy regimen in participants diagnosed with relapsed or refractory systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis.

Detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called IXAZOMIB. IXAZOMIB was being tested to treat people who have relapsed or Refractory Systemic Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis. The study will enroll approximately 177 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups: * IXAZOMIB 4 mg plus Dexamethasone 20 mg * Physician's choice: Participants will receive one of the following treatment options as selected by the physician: 1. Dexamethasone 20 mg 2. Dexamethasone 20 mg + Melphalan 0.22 mg/kg 3. Dexamethasone 20 mg + Cyclophosphamide 500 mg 4. Dexamethasone 20 mg + Thalidomide 200 mg 5. Dexamethasone 20 mg + Lenalidomide 15 mg 6. All participants will be asked to take oral formulation of the drugs. In both treatment arms, each participant will continue to receive sequential cycles of therapy until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or until the study is terminated, whichever occurs first. Participants in Arm B receiving melphalan and dexamethasone will be treated to best response plus 2 additional cycles. This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 120 months (10 years), including 84 months of enrollment and 36 months of follow-up after the last participant is enrolled.

Histochemical diagnosis of amyloidosis, as based on tissue specimens with Congo red staining with exhibition of an apple-green birefringence 2. If clinical and laboratory parameters insufficient to establish AL amyloidosis or in cases of doubt, amyloid typing may be necessary. 3. Measurable disease as defined by serum differential free light chain concentration (dFLC, difference between amyloid forming \[involved\] and nonamyloid forming \[uninvolved\] free light chain \[FLC\]) ≥ 50 mg/L. 4. Objective, measurable major (cardiac or renal) organ amyloid involvement as defined as follows (amyloid involvement of at least 1 required): 1. Cardiac involvement is defined as the presence of a mean left ventricular wall thickness on echocardiogram greater than 12 mm in the absence of other potential causes of left ventricular hypertrophy (controlled hypertension is allowed) with a noncardiac biopsy showing amyloid, or a positive cardiac biopsy in the presence of clinical or laboratory evidence of involvement. If there is isolated cardiac involvement, then typing of amyloid deposits is recommended. 2. Renal involvement is defined as proteinuria (predominantly albumin) \>0.5 g/day in a 24-hour urine collection. Note: Amyloid involvement of other organ systems is allowed, but not required. 5. Must be relapsed or refractory after 1 or 2 prior therapies. For this protocol, relapsed is defined as progressive disease (PD) documented more than 60 days after last dose; refractory is defined as documented absence of hematologic response or hematologic progression on or within 60 days after last dose of prior therapy. 1. Participant must not have been previously treated with proteasome inhibitors. (The sponsor reserves the right to open the study to proteasome inhibitor-exposed participants in the future, at some time point after the first interim analysis (IA). In that case, the participant may not be refractory to proteasome inhibitor therapy.) 2. Given that the physician may select from an offered list of regimens to treat a specific participant, the participant may be refractory to an agent/s listed within the list of offered treatment choices 3. Must have recovered (ie, ≤ Grade 1 toxicity or participant's baseline status) from the reversible effects of prior therapy 4. If a participant has received a transplant as his/her first-line therapy, he/she must be at least 3 months post transplantation and recovered from the side effects of the stem cell transplant. 6. Must meet criteria for 1 of the following AL Amyloidosis Risk Stages (as defined by N-terminal proBNP \[NT-proBNP\] cut-off of \< 332 pg/mL and troponin T cut-off of 0.035 ng/mL as thresholds): 1. Stage 1: both NT-proBNP and troponin T under threshold 2. Stage 2: either NT-proBNP or troponin T (but not both) over threshold; 3.

Must also adhere to the guidelines of any treatment-specific pregnancy prevention program, if applicable, OR 3. Agree to practice true abstinence when this is line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. (Periodic abstinence \[eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods\] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.). Male participants, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status post vasectomy), who: 1. Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 90 days after the last dose of study drug, AND 2. Must also adhere to the guidelines of any treatment-specific pregnancy prevention program, if applicable, OR 3. Agree to practice true abstinence when this is line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. (Periodic abstinence \[eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods\] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.) 10. 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 participant at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

Change From Baseline in 36-item Short Form General Health Survey (SF-36) Mental Component Summary Score at Week 28 of the PFS Follow-upBaseline, Week 28 of the PFS Follow-upSF-36 Version 2 is a multipurpose, participant completed, short-form health survey with 36 questions that consists of an 8-scale profile of functional health and well-being scores as well as psychometrically-based physical and mental health summary measures. Physical component summary (PCS) is mostly contributed by physical function (PF), role physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), and general health (GH). Mental component summary (MCS) is mostly contributed by mental health (MH), role emotional (RE), social function (SF), and vitality (VT). Each component on the SF-36 item health survey is scored from 0 (best) to 100 (worst). Total score ranges from 0-100, where higher scores are associated with less disability and better quality of life. As prespecified in the protocol, data was planned to be collected and analyzed in a combined way for non-ixazomib arm groups in this outcome measure.

Change From Baseline in Amyloidosis Symptom Scale Total Score at Week 28 of the PFS Follow-upBaseline, Week 28 of the PFS Follow-upThe amyloidosis symptom scale questionnaire is a participant completed questionnaire that evaluates symptom severity of 3 symptoms: Swelling, Shortness of Breath and Dizziness, each rated on an 11-point scale where: 0=no symptoms to 10=very severe symptoms. Higher scores indicate worsening of symptoms. Total Score is the sum of all responses from the amyloidosis symptom scale ranging from 0 to 30. Higher scores represent higher levels of symptomatology or problems and a negative change from baseline indicates improvement. As prespecified in the protocol, data was planned to be collected and analyzed in a combined way for non-ixazomib arm groups in this outcome measure.

Change From Baseline in 36-item Short Form General Health Survey (SF-36) Mental Component Summary Score at Week 28 of the PFS Follow-up

SF-36 Version 2 is a multipurpose, participant completed, short-form health survey with 36 questions that consists of an 8-scale profile of functional health and well-being scores as well as psychometrically-based physical and mental health summary measures. Physical component summary (PCS) is mostly contributed by physical function (PF), role physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), and general health (GH). Mental component summary (MCS) is mostly contributed by mental health (MH), role emotional (RE), social function (SF), and vitality (VT). Each component on the SF-36 item health survey is scored from 0 (best) to 100 (worst). Total score ranges from 0-100, where higher scores are associated with less disability and better quality of life. As prespecified in the protocol, data was planned to be collected and analyzed in a combined way for non-ixazomib arm groups in this outcome measure.
