The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. The change from baseline in GHS (EORTC QLQ-C30) score is presented. Participant responses to the question "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" are scored on a 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent). Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better overall GHS.

Participant's frailty status is classified as fit, unfit, or frail on the basis of 4 components: age, the Charlson comorbidity scoring system without age weighting, the Katz index of independence in activities of daily living, and the Lawton instrumental activities of daily living scale. The sum of the 4 frailty scores equals the total frailty score. A total frailty score of 0 corresponds to a frailty status of fit; a total score of 1, to unfit; and a total score of 2 or more, to frail. PFS is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to the first occurrence of PD as evaluated by the investigator.

PN is defined as the event in the high-level term of peripheral neuropathies not elsewhere classified (NEC) according to the medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA). A PN event was considered as resolved if its final outcome was resolved with no subsequent PN event of the same preferred term occurring on the resolution date or the day before and after. Time to resolution was defined as the time from the initial onset date (inclusive) to the resolution date for resolved events.

Full study description

brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of ixazomib maintenance therapy.
detailed Description: The drug being tested in this study is called ixazomib. Ixazomib is being tested to slow disease progression and improve overall survival in Chinese participants who have newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who have had a major positive response to initial therapy and have not undergone stem cell transplantation (SCT). This study will look at the effect of ixazomib has on the length of time that participants are free of disease progression and their overall survival. After the implementation of Amendment 8, participants who received placebo-matching capsules before unblinding and have not yet experienced disease progression will cross over to receive ixazomib. The study will enroll approximately 37 patients. Participants will be assigned to a single treatment group • Ixazomib All participants will be asked to take one capsule on Days 1, 8, and 15 of every 28-day cycle, for up to approximately 24 months (equivalent to 26 cycles \[if no cycle delays\], to the nearest complete cycle) or until documented progressive disease (PD) or intolerable toxicity, whichever occurs first. This multi-center trial will be conducted in China. The overall time to participate in this study is until a total of approximately up to 60 months. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and every 4 weeks until the next line of therapy begins for a follow-up assessment.
