  1. AE adverse event, NEC not elsewhere classified, PN peripheral neuropathy, SCT stem cell transplantation
  2. aData are split to represent AEs during IRd induction (cycles 1–12), and single-agent ixazomib maintenance; patients could have had a new-onset AE in both treatment periods
  3. bData represent higher-level terms
