The NINLARO® (ixazomib) Regimen* Prolonged Progression-Free Survival vs Rd Regimen*1,2

TOURMALINE-MM1 was a global, phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma who had received at least one prior line of therapy (N=722).1,2

*The NINLARO regimen included NINLARO + lenalidomide + dexamethasone. The Rd regimen included placebo + lenalidomide + dexamethasone.1

TOURMALINE-MM1 CLINICAL TRIAL DESIGN AND PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS

TOURMALINE-MM1 clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of NINLARO (ixazomib) + lenalidomide + dexamethasone vs placebo + lenalidomide + dexamethasone in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (N=722).1,2

TRIAL DESIGN
TOURMALINE-MM1 was a global, phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of the all-oral NINLARO regimen* vs Rd regimen in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma who had received at least one prior multiple myeloma treatment.1,2
TOURMALINE‐MM1 clinical trial study design.
  • Primary endpoint: PFS, according to 2011 IMWG criteria, was assessed every 4 weeks until disease progression by a blinded IRC and was based on central laboratory results1
  • Key secondary endpoints: OS and OS in del(17p)2
  • Other secondary endpoints: ORR and PFS in patients with high-risk cytogenetics and safety2

*The NINLARO regimen included NINLARO + lenalidomide + dexamethasone. The Rd regimen included placebo + lenalidomide + dexamethasone.1
Stratification: 1 vs 2 or 3 prior therapies; PI exposed vs PI naive; and ISS stage I or II vs III.1
Defined as patients with del(17p), t(4;14), and/or t(14;16).1

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS
TOURMALINE-MM1 included difficult-to-treat patients—including patients with primary refractory disease*, high-risk cytogenetics, free-light chain disease, and renal impairment.1,2
Baseline characteristics of participants in TOURMALINE-MM1 clinical trial.
*Primary refractory, defined as best response of stable disease or disease progression on all prior lines of therapy, was documented in 7% and 6% of patients in the NINLARO regimen and Rd regimens, respectively.1
The NINLARO regimen included NINLARO + lenalidomide + dexamethasone. The Rd regimen included placebo + lenalidomide + dexamethasone.1
Stratification factor.1
ECOG=Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; IMWG=International Myeloma Working Group; IRC=independent review committee; ISS=International Staging System; MM=multiple myeloma; ORR=overall response rate; OS=overall survival; PI=proteasome inhibitor.
  • Cutoff values for high-risk cytogenetic markers, including del(17p), t(4;14), and t(14;16), were performed by a central laboratory2
  • Positivity for del(17p) was defined by a percentage of positive cells that were above the technical background cutoff of 5%2
  • 22%-27% of patients had renal impairment1
  • 23% of patients had light chain disease and 12% of patients had free light chain-measurable only disease1
  • Primary refractory was defined as best response of stable disease or disease progression on all prior lines of therapy. Primary refractory status was documented in 7% and 6% of patients in the NINLARO regimen and the Rd regimen, respectively1
21% of patients had high-risk cytogenetics. 69% of patients were previously treated with VELCADE® (bortezomib).

TOURMALINE-MM1 CLINICAL TRIAL RESULTS

In the TOURMALINE-MM1 pivotal clinical trial, the NINLARO regimen was shown to significantly extend PFS compared to the Rd regimen.1,2

Primary PFS analysis1,2

Median PFS of 20.6 months achieved with NINLARO® (ixazomib) regimen vs 14.7 months with Rd regimen.

Final OS Analysis

  • With a median follow-up of ~85 months, median OS in the ITT population was 53.6 months for patients receiving the NINLARO regimen* and 51.6 months for patients receiving the Rd regimen* (HR=0.94 [95% CI, 0.78-1.13])1

*The NINLARO regimen included NINLARO + lenalidomide + dexamethasone. The Rd regimen included placebo + lenalidomide + dexamethasone.1

Study limitations 

  • This study was not powered to show significance in PFS across these prespecified subgroups.4
  • Cytogenetic risk data were not available for 24% of patients in the study.2

Other prespecified subgroups not included in this figure were gender, race, region, Western countries, prior bortezomib exposure, thalidomide refractory, and creatinine clearance at baseline.4
