Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Female patients who are lactating or have a positive serum pregnancy test during the screening period.
  • Patients with primary refractory AL amyloidosis (\< PR to initial therapy).
  • Patients resistant and/or refractory to proteosome inhibitors.
  • Active multiple myeloma with end organ damage (CRAB criteria).
  • Evidence of current uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, including uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA class III/IV), unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months.
  • Active systemic infection, including active hepatitis B or C virus infection. Patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected can be enrolled as long as CD4 is above 350, viral load has been undetectable for more than 6 months on stable anti-retroviral therapy, no previous AIDS-defining illness, and there is agreement with the HIV-treating physician that the patients can be monitored for possible treatment failure. Eligibility will be confirmed by the MSK Principal Investigator (PI).
  • Any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator"s opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol.
  • Systemic treatment, within 14 days before the first dose of ixazomib with strong CYP3A inducers (rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital), or use of St. John"s wort.
  • Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues, or excipients in the various formulations of any agent.
  • Known GI disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of ixazomib including difficulty swallowing.
  • Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 2 years before study enrollment or previously diagnosed with another malignancy and have any evidence of residual disease. Patients with early stage prostate cancer, non melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded; patients with malignancies that have undergone complete resection are not excluded.
