Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Compare carfizomib, dexamethasone, and daratumumab (KdD) to Carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) in terms of progression free survival (PFS) in participants with multiple myeloma who have relapsed after 1 to 3 prior therapies.

Detailed Description

This is a phase 3 multicenter, open-label, randomized study in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have received 1 to 3 prior therapies.

Participants receive the treatment determined by randomization for a maximum of approximately 5 years, up to 30 days prior to the final analysis data cutoff (DCO) date or until confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death (whichever occurs first). No crossover between the treatment arms is allowed.

This was an open-label study. However, the assessment of response and disease progression for the primary analysis was determined by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) in a blinded manner. Sensitivity analyses of response and disease progression were determined centrally by the sponsor using a validated computer algorithm (Onyx Response Computational Assessment [ORCA]) in a blinded manner.

Following progression or discontinuation of study drug(s), participants will have 1 follow-up visit (30 days [+3} after last dose of all study drug[s]). After disease progression, data on survival status and subsequent antimyeloma therapy will be gathered at long-term follow-up (LTFU) visits every 12 weeks (+/-2 weeks) until the Final Analysis DCO.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Kd - Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone

Carfilzomib was administered intravenously (IV) at 20 mg/m^2 in Cycle 1: days 1 and 2; at 56 mg/m^2 in Cycle 1: days 8, 9, 15 and 16. The 56 mg/m^2 dosage was continued in Cycles 2+ on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16. Dexamethasone was taken by IV infusion at 20 mg on Cycle 1, days 1 and 2 (in Cycles 2+, days 1 and 2 could be either oral or IV) and either orally or by IV infusion on days 8, 9, 15 and 16 and at 40 mg on day 22 of all 28-day cycles.

Drug: Dexamethasone
Commercially available oral and IV formulas were obtained by investigative sites. Amgen supplied IV or PO dexa for some countries (Poland, Hungry, Romania, Bulgaria, Korea). Dosage modification rules applied based on participant age (participants > 75 years were given lower doses), dexa-related toxicities, and discontinuation of carfilzomib.

Drug: Carfilzomib
Carfilzomib for infusion was supplied as a lyophilized, sterile product in single-use vials. The lyophilized product was reconstituted with preservative-free sterile water for injection, the reconstituted solution contained carfilzomib 2 mg/mL. IV injections lasted approximately 30 minutes. Dose could be modified based on a >20% change in body weight or toxicity.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [From randomization until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; as of the data cut-off date, a median of 40.29 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the Kd group and 70.14 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the KdD group.]

      Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause. Participants were evaluated for disease response and progression according to the International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC) as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Response (OR) as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [From randomization until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; as of the data cut-off date, a median of 40.29 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the Kd group and 70.14 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the KdD group.]

      Overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants in each treatment group who achieve partial response (PR) or better per the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC) as their best response. Complete Response (CR): No immunofixation on serum and urine, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow. Very Good Partial Response (VGPR): Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not electrophoresis or ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-component with urine M-component <100 mg/24 hours. Partial Response (PR): ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in urine M-protein by ≥ 90% or to < 200 mg/24 hours. A ≥ 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas if present at baseline. 95% CIs for proportions were estimated using the Clopper-Pearson method.

    2. Minimal Residual Disease Negative Complete Response Rate (MRD[-]CR) at 12 Months as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [12 Months (8- to 13-month window)]

      MRD[-]CR at 12 months was defined as achievement of CR per International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria and MRD[-] status as assessed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) at the 12 months landmark (8 to 13 month window).

    3. Overall Survival [At approximately 230 OS events or 58 months after the first participant is enrolled, whichever occurs earlier.]

      Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause.

    4. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [From Day 1 until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; as of the data cut-off date, a median of 40.29 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the Kd group and 70.14 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the KdD group.]

      Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as any adverse event with an onset after the administration of the first dose of any study treatment and within the end of study or 30 days of the last dose of any study treatment, whichever occurs earlier. The severity of adverse events was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03, where where Grade 1 = Mild; Grade 2 = Moderate; Grade 3 = Severe; Grade 4 = Life-threatening; Grade 5 = Fatal. Treatment-related adverse events are adverse events considered related to at least one investigational product by the investigator, including those with unknown relationship.

    5. Kaplan-Meier Estimate for Duration of Response (DOR) (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [Day 1 until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; as of the data cut-off date, a median of 40.29 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the Kd group and 70.14 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the KdD group.]

      Duration of response (DOR) was defined as the time (in months) from first evidence of partial response (PR) or better per IMWG-URC to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause for participants with a best response of PR or better. For those who are alive and have not experienced disease progression at the time of data cutoff for analysis, duration of response was right-censored. Medians were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. 95% CIs for medians were estimated using the method by Klein and Moeschberger (1997) with log-log transformation.

    6. Kaplan-Meier Estimate for Time to Next Treatment (TTNT) (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [From randomization until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; as of the data cut-off date, a median of 40.29 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the Kd group and 70.14 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the KdD group.]

      Time to next treatment was defined as the time (in months) from randomization to the initiation of subsequent non-protocol anti-cancer treatment for multiple myeloma. Time to next treatment for participants who do not start the subsequent treatment for multiple myeloma was censored at the date when the participant's information was last available. Medians of TTNT duration were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. 95% CIs for medians were estimated using the method by Klein and Moeschberger (1997) with log-log transformation.

    7. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Time to Progression (TTP) as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [From randomization until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; as of the data cut-off date, a median of 40.29 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the Kd group and 70.14 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the KdD group]

      Time to progression was defined as the time (in months) from randomization to documented disease progression. Participants who did not have documented disease progression were censored at the date when data was last available.

    8. Time to Progression (TTP): Percentage of Participants Who Had Not Had Disease Progression as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee at Months 3, 6, 12, and 18 (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [Randomization to Months 3, 6, 12, and 18]

      Time to progression was defined as the time (in months) from randomization to documented disease progression. This outcome reports TTP as the percentage of participants who were event free (that is, they had not had disease progression) at the specified time frames. Independent Review Committee assessment for this outcome measure was not planned after the primary analysis. 95% CIs for event-free rates were estimated using the method by Kalbfleisch and Prentice (1980) with log-log transformation.

    9. Time to Overall Response as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [From randomization until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; the maximum time to response was 14 months]

      Time to overall response was defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date a response of partial response (PR) or better as per IMWG-URC is first achieved and subsequently confirmed for participants with a best response of PR or better.

    10. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved and Maintained a Minimal Residual Disease Negative Complete Response (MRD[-]CR) for 12 Months or More (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [Month 8 to 25 months (maximum time as of data cut-off)]

      A measure of the persistence of the CR (includes strict CR) per International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC) and MRD[-] status as assessed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) for 12 months or more after achieving MRD[-]CR status. 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for proportions were estimated using the Clopper-Pearson method.

    11. Time to Complete Response (CR) as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [From randomization until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; the maximum time to CR was 16 months.]

      Time to complete response was defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date a response of strict complete response (sCR) or complete response (CR) per IMWG-URC is first achieved and subsequently confirmed.

    12. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Minimal Residual Disease Negative (MRD[-]) Status as Assessed by Next Generation Sequencing at 12 Months [12 Months (8- to 13-month window)]

      MRD[-] at 12-month was defined as achievement of MRD[-] status as assessed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) at the 12 months landmark (from 8 months to 13 months window). 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for proportions were estimated using the Clopper-Pearson method.

    13. Quality of Life Core Module (QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life Scores For Baseline Up to the First Follow-Up Visit After the Last Dose (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019) [Baseline (Day 1 pre-dose) up to Week 102 (maximum treatment by cut-off)]

      Health-related quality of life was assessed with the use of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Module (QLQ-C30) questionnaire, a validated instrument in multiple myeloma patients. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health related quality of life. QLQ-C30 questionnaire was administered prior to dosing every 28 ± 7 days starting from cycle 1 day 1 through first follow-up visit (30 days [+3] after last dose of all study drugs). (data cut-off date 14 July 2019)

    Title Kaplan-Meier Estimate for Duration of Response (DOR) (Data Cut-off Date 14 July 2019)
    Description Duration of response (DOR) was defined as the time (in months) from first evidence of partial response (PR) or better per IMWG-URC to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause for participants with a best response of PR or better. For those who are alive and have not experienced disease progression at the time of data cutoff for analysis, duration of response was right-censored. Medians were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. 95% CIs for medians were estimated using the method by Klein and Moeschberger (1997) with log-log transformation.
    Time Frame Day 1 until the data cut-off date of 14 July 2019; as of the data cut-off date, a median of 40.29 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the Kd group and 70.14 weeks of treatment (any study drug) in the KdD group.

    Certain Agreements

    Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.

    The Clinical Trial Agreement generally does not restrict an investigator's discussion of trial results after completion. The Agreement permits Amgen a limited period of time to review material discussing trial results (typically up to 45 days and possible extension). Amgen may remove confidential information, but authors have final control and approval of publication content. For multicenter studies, the investigator agrees not to publish any results before the first multi-center publication.
