  • To practice effective barrier contraception and a second method of contraception for their female partners of childbearing potential during the entire study treatment period and through 90 days after the last dose of ixazomib
  • To practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject
    • Periodic abstinence such as calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
  • To forego sperm donation for the same period as above
