Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: carfilzomib (A0)

Drug: carfilzomib
Subjects will receive carfilzomib 20 mg/m2 as an intravenous bolus over 2 minutes on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of 28 day cycles. A maximum of 12 cycles will be administered.
Other Names:
  • PR-171
  • PR171
  • Kyprolis® (carfilzomib) for Injection
  • Experimental: carfilzomib (A1)

    Drug: carfilzomib
    Subjects will receive carfilzomib intravenously over up to 10 minutes on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of 28 day cycles. In cycle 1, the dose is 20 mg/m2. If all doses are administered and well-tolerated over Cycle 1, beginning with Cycle 2 the dose will escalate to 27 mg/m2 cycle. A maximum of 12 cycles will be administered.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Best Overall Response Rate (ORR) [A0: Subjects evaluated for disease response on Day 24 of Cycles 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12. Onset of response measured on Day 15 of Cycle 1. A1: Subjects evaluated for disease response on Day 15 of Cycle 1, Day 1 of Cycles 2 through 12 and at End of Study.]

      For both A0 and A1, to evaluate the best overall response rate (stringent complete response [sCR]+ complete response [CR]+ very good partial response [VGPR]+ partial response [PR]) in patients with multiple myeloma who had previously received bortezomib and either thalidomide or lenalidomide, had relapsed after two or more therapies, and were refractory to the most recently received therapy

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Clinical Benefit Response (CBR) (A0 Only) [Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure]

      sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, and minimal response (MR)

    2. Clinical Benefit Response (CBR) (A1 Only) [Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure]

      sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, and minimal response (MR)

    3. Duration of Response (A0 Only) [Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure]

      Duration of response (DOR) was calculated separately for subjects with clinical benefit response or overall response. DOR is defined as the time from first evidence of PR or better (for overall response) and MR or better (for clinical benefit response) to start of disease progression or death.

    4. Duration of Response (A1 Only) [Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure]

      Duration of response (DOR) was calculated separately for subjects with clinical benefit response or overall response. DOR is defined as the time from first evidence of PR or better (for overall response) and MR or better (for clinical benefit response) to start of disease progression or death.

    5. Time to Progression (A0 Only) [Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure]

      Time to progression (TTP) is defined as the time from the study entry (first dose of carfilzomib) to disease progression.

    6. Time to Progression (A1 Only) [Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure]

      Time to progression (TTP) is defined as the time from the study entry (first dose of carfilzomib) to disease progression.

    7. Progression-free Survival (A0 Only) [Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure]

      The PFS was defined as the time from the start of treatment to progressive disease (PD) determined by PI or until death.

    8. Progression-free Survival (A1 Only) [Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure]

      The PFS was defined as the time from the start of treatment to progressive disease (PD) determined by PI or until death.

    9. Overall Survival (A1 Only) [Patients were to be followed by telephone contact for disease progression and OS every 3 months after study discontinuation for the first year and every 6 months thereafter for up to 2 years]

      The time from start of treatment to death due to any cause OS was to be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for those who were alive or lost to follow-up as of a data analysis cutoff date.

    Title Progression-free Survival (A1 Only)
    Description The PFS was defined as the time from the start of treatment to progressive disease (PD) determined by PI or until death.
    Time Frame Response assessments same as described in primary outcome measure

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Response-Evaluable Population: had measurable disease at Baseline received at least 1 dose of carfilzomib underwent baseline disease response assessments and at least 1 post-baseline disease assessment, or discontinued protocol treatment before Cycle 2 Day 1 due to an AE that was considered to be possibly or probably related to carfilzomib
    Arm/Group Title Carfilzomib (A1)
    Arm/Group Description In Cycle 1, subjects will receive carfilzomib 20 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16.If all doses are administered and well-tolerated over the 28-day cycle, beginning with Cycle 2 the dose will escalate to 27 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 for all subsequent cycles.

    Title Overall Survival (A1 Only)
    Description The time from start of treatment to death due to any cause OS was to be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for those who were alive or lost to follow-up as of a data analysis cutoff date.
    Time Frame Patients were to be followed by telephone contact for disease progression and OS every 3 months after study discontinuation for the first year and every 6 months thereafter for up to 2 years

    Arm/Group Title Carfilzomib (A1) - Safety Population Carfilzomib (A1) - Response-evaluable Population
    Arm/Group Description In Cycle 1, subjects will receive carfilzomib 20 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16. If all doses are administered and well-tolerated over the 28-day cycle, beginning with Cycle 2 the dose will escalate to 27 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 for all subsequent cycles. Safety population: The safety population was used for the analysis of safety data in this study. The safety population consists of all enrolled patients who received at least 1 dose of carfilzomib. However, for some safety analyses, at least 1 laboratory, neurological, electrocardiogram, or vital sign measurement obtained subsequent to at least 1 dose of carfilzomib was required for inclusion in the analysis of a safety specific parameter. To assess change from baseline, a baseline measurement was also required. In Cycle 1, subjects will receive carfilzomib 20 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16. If all doses are administered and well-tolerated over the 28-day cycle, beginning with Cycle 2 the dose will escalate to 27 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 for all subsequent cycles. Response-Evaluable Population(the primary analysis population) was defined as all patients who had measurable disease at Baseline by either M-protein (serum and/or urine) or by quantitative serum Ig for certain patients with IgA myeloma received at least 1 dose of carfilzomib underwent baseline disease response assessments and at least 1 post-baseline disease assessment, or patients who discontinued protocol treatment before Cycle 2 Day 1 due to an AE that was considered to be possibly or probably related to carfilzomib-irrespective of availability of baseline and post-baseline assessment

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame All adverse events (AEs) should be reported from the time the subject signs consent through 30 days post-last dose of study drug or initiation of a new anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first.
