antibody.

- For proteasome-sensitive expansion cohort: Patients with MM who relapsed or are
refractory to a prior line of therapy not including a proteasome inhibitor

- For proteasome-relapsed/refractory expansion cohort: Patients with MM who have
relapsed after prior PI exposure or are PI-refractory, defined as nonresponsive

- Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,000/mcL

- Platelets >= 75,000/mcL

- Bilirubin =< institutional upper limit of normal (ULN).

- Patients with Gilbert's syndrome may enroll if direct bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase
[SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT])
=< 3.0 x institutional ULN

- Creatinine clearance (CrCl) by Cockcroft-Gault >= 30 mL/min

- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients who meet the following
criteria will be considered eligible:

- CD 4 count > 350 cells/mm^3

- Undetectable viral load

- Maintained on modern therapeutic regimens utilizing non-CYP-interactive agents
(e.g. excluding ritonavir)

- No history of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining opportunistic
infections

- The effects of MLN4924 (pevonedistat) and MLN9708 (ixazomib) on the developing human
fetus are unknown. For this reason and because NAE inhibitory agents are known to be
teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must meet the following
criteria:

- Female patients who are:

- Postmenopausal for at least one year before the screening visit, OR

- Surgically sterile, OR

- If of childbearing potential, agree to practice 1 highly effective method
and 1 additional (barrier) method of contraception, at the same time, from
the time of signing the informed consent until 4 months after the last dose
of the ixazomib and pevonedistat (female and male condoms should not be used
together), or agree to abstain from heterosexual intercourse, when this is
in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject (Periodic
abstinence [e.g,, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods]
withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable
methods of contraception)

- Male patients, even if surgically sterilized, who:

- Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire time
enrolled on study through 4 months after completion of ixazomib and
pevonedistat administration (female and male condoms should not be used
together), OR

- Agree to abstain from heterosexual intercourse, when this is in line with
the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence
[e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods for the
female partner] withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are
not acceptable methods of contraception)

- Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her
partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician
immediately

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Participants with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a
legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be
eligible

Exclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 2 years before randomization or
previously diagnosed with another malignancy and have any evidence of residual
disease. Patients with non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are
not excluded if they have undergone resection

- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents, within 30 days of the
start of this trial and throughout the duration of this trial

- Patients with known central nervous system involvement should be excluded from this
clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop
progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic
and other adverse events (AEs)

- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to MLN4924 (pevonedistat) or MLN9708 (ixazomib) (including boron or
boron-containing products)

- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness

- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because MLN4924 (pevonedistat) is an NAE
inhibitory agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because
there is an unknown but potential risk for AEs in nursing infants secondary to
treatment of the mother with MLN4924 (pevonedistat), breastfeeding should be
discontinued if the mother is treated with MLN4924 (pevonedistat). These potential
risks may also apply to the use of MLN9708 (ixazomib) in this study

- Major surgery within 14 days before the first dose of any study drug or a scheduled
surgery during study period

- Patients with uncontrolled coagulopathy or bleeding disorder

- Known hepatic impairment as defined by known hepatic cirrhosis, hepatitis B surface
antigen seropositive or known or suspected active hepatitis C infection

- Note: Patients who have isolated positive hepatitis B core antibody (i.e., in the
setting of negative hepatitis B surface antigen and negative hepatitis B surface
antibody) must have an undetectable hepatitis B viral load. Patients who have
positive hepatitis C antibody may be included if they have an undetectable
hepatitis C viral load

- Known cardiopulmonary disease defined as:

- Unstable angina;

- Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III or IV);

- Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to first dose (patients who had
ischemic heart disease such as acute coronary syndrome [ACS], myocardial
infarction, and/or revascularization greater than 6 months before screening and
who are without cardiac symptoms may enroll);

- Symptomatic cardiomyopathy

- Clinically significant arrhythmia:

- History of polymorphic ventricular fibrillation or torsade de pointes,

- Permanent atrial fibrillation, defined as continuous atrial fibrillation for
>= 6 months,

- Persistent atrial fibrillation, defined as sustained atrial fibrillation
lasting > 7 days and/or requiring cardioversion in the 4 weeks before
screening,

- Grade 3 atrial fibrillation defined as symptomatic and incompletely
controlled medically, or controlled with device (e.g., pacemaker), or
ablation in the past 6 months and

- Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or grade < 3 atrial
fibrillation for period of at least 6 months are permitted to enroll
provided that their rate is controlled on a stable regimen

- Clinically significant pulmonary hypertension requiring pharmacologic therapy

- Uncontrolled high blood pressure (i.e., systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg, diastolic
blood pressure > 95 mmHg)

- Prolonged rate corrected QT (QTc) interval >= 500 msec, calculated according to
institutional guidelines

- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% as assessed by echocardiogram

- Known moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung
disease, and pulmonary fibrosis

- Known gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral

phenytoin, phenobarbital), or use of St. John's wort. Clinically significant metabolic
enzyme inducers are not permitted during this study

- Radiotherapy within 14 days before enrollment. If the involved field is small, 7 days
will be considered a sufficient interval between treatment and administration of the
MLN9708 (ixazomib)

- Female patients who intend to donate eggs (ova) during the course of this study or 4
months after receiving their last dose of study drug(s)
