Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Tolerated Dose5 weeks in once weekly (QW) dose cohorts and 3 weeks in twice weekly (BIW) dose cohorts

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) was defined as the highest dose level that has 0/1 out of 6 patients experiences Dose Limited Toxicity (DLT). MTD is defined separately for QW and BIQ dose cohorts.

DLT was defined as adverse events occurring during Cycle 1 and: (1) related to VELCADE, (2) Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or neutropenia, (3) Grade 3 or higher nonhematologic toxicity.

Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Eventsfrom first study-related procedure to 30 days after last dose of study medication

Treatment emergent adverse events observed during outcome measure time frame

Subjects With Serious Treatment Emergent Adverse Eventsfrom first study-related procedure to 30 days after last dose of study medication

Serious treatment emergent adverse events observed during outcome measure time frame

Subjects Grade 3/4/5 Treatment Emergent Adverse Eventsfrom first study-related procedure to 30 days after last dose of study medication

Grade 3/4/5 treatment emergent adverse events observed during outcome measure time frame.

Grade is determined according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE) Version 3.0.

Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events Leading to Treatment Terminationfrom first study-related procedure to 30 days after last dose of study medication

Treatment emergent adverse events observed during outcome measure time frame leading to treatment termination

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Best Confirmed Hematologic Respondersfrom first dose of study medication to end of study visit

Hematologic response was determined by the investigator per the response criteria for immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis by Gertz (2005). It include Complete and Partial Responders (CR+PR). CR requires serum and urine negative for a monoclonal protein by immunofixation and free light chain ratio normal. PR requires: 1. reduction in quantitative serum M-protein by 50% if baseline value is at least 0.5 g/dL, 2. if light chain is detected in the urine (with a consistent peak and \>100 mg/ 24 hours), then 50% reduction is required, 3. if free light chain \>10 mg/dL, reduction by 50% is required.
