Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To establish the feasibility and efficacy of carfilzomib in combination with thalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with Multiple Myeloma at first presentation. ;Secondary Objective: - To investigate the clinical efficacy of carfilzomib in combination with thalidomide and dexamethasone for response in remission induction of Multiple Myeloma at first presentation. - To investigate the clinical efficacy of carfilzomib in combination with thalidomide and dexamethasone for response in consolidation treatment of Multiple Myeloma at first presentation. - To assess the stem cell harvest following carfilzomib in combination with thalidomide and dexamethasone ;Primary end point(s): Response (Complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), overall response (OR)):After induction prior to HDM/ASCTAfter HDM/ASCT prior to consolidation treatmentAt end of consolidation treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after induction after HDM/ASCT after consolidation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Efficacy and toxicity of induction treatment; Efficacy and toxicity of consolidation treatment; Feasibility of good quality stem cell harvest; Progression-free survival (PFS); Overall Survival (OS).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: These endpoints will be evaluated when applicable data for all patients are available | — |
