Treatment: Drugs - Venetoclax
Treatment: Drugs - Bortezomib
Treatment: Drugs - Dexamethasone
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo for venetoclax

Experimental: Venetoclax + Bortezomib and Dexamethasone - Cycles 1-8: Venetoclax 800 mg orally every day (QD) on Days 1 - 21 plus bortezomib 1.3 mg/m^2 subcutaneously or IV on Days 1, 4, 8 & 11 and dexamethasone 20 mg orally on Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 & 12; Cycles 9 and beyond: Venetoclax 800 mg orally every day (QD) on Days 1 - 35 plus bortezomib 1.3 mg/m^2 subcutaneously or IV on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 and dexamethasone 20 mg orally on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23

Placebo Comparator: Placebo + Bortezomib and Dexamethasone - Cycles 1-8: Placebo (to match venetoclax 100 mg tablet) 800 mg orally every day (QD) on Days 1 - 21 plus bortezomib 1.3 mg/m^2 subcutaneously or IV on Days 1, 4, 8 & 11 and dexamethasone 20 mg orally on Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 & 12; Cycles 9 and beyond: Placebo (to match venetoclax 100 mg tablet) 800 mg orally every day (QD) on Days 1 - 35 plus bortezomib 1.3 mg/m^2 subcutaneously or IV on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 and dexamethasone 20 mg orally on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 & 23


Treatment: Drugs: Venetoclax
Participants self-administered venetoclax tablets by mouth QD in combination with bortezomib. Venetoclax was to be given before other agents administered on the same day, if applicable. Each venetoclax dose was to be taken all at one time with approximately 240 mL of water within 30 minutes after completion of breakfast or the subject's first meal of the day. Tablets were to be swallowed whole and must not have been broken, chewed, or crushed. On days that pre-dose PK sampling was required, dosing occurred at the clinic to facilitate PK sampling.

Treatment: Drugs: Bortezomib
Bortezomib (subcutaneous injection [preferred] or IV) was given following administration of venetoclax or placebo in Cycles 1 -8 on Days 1, 4, 8 and 11, and for Cycles 9 and beyond, on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 and was to be administered per the prescribing information. The route of administration was to stay the same during the study.

Treatment: Drugs: Dexamethasone
Dexamethasone was to be given orally, administered per the prescribing information, the day of bortezomib dosing and the following day, given the protocol-defined dosing window (bortezomib dosing window is ± 1 day) is maintained. If bortezomib was interrupted or a dose is skipped, dexamethasone was to be administered as scheduled per protocol (unless dexamethasone was interrupted due to toxicity).

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo for venetoclax
Participants self-administered placebo tablets by mouth QD in combination with bortezomib. Placebo was to be given before other agents administered on the same day, if applicable. Each placebo dose was to be taken all at one time with approximately 240 mL of water within 30 minutes after completion of breakfast or the subject's first meal of the day. Tablets were to be swallowed whole and must not have been broken, chewed, or crushed. On days that pre-dose PK sampling was required, dosing occurred at the clinic to facilitate PK sampling.
