Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of once weekly carfilzomib dosing in combination with dexamethasone to the PFS of twice weekly carfilzomib dosing in combination with dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received prior treatment with a proteasome inhibitor and an IMiD (immunomodulatory agent).; Secondary Objective: - Overall response rate (ORR) - Overall survival (OS) - Safety and tolerability - Pharmacokinetics (PK) of carfilzomib using sparse sampling ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is PFS, which is defined as the time in months from randomization to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The final PFS analysis will be conducted when approximately 350 PFS events have occurred or by end of year 2018, whichever is earlier. A total of 350 PFS events will provide 83% power to detect a significant difference in PFS between the 2 treatment groups with 1 interim analysis if the underlying HR is 0.73. The interim analysis will be performed when approximately 75% of the total PFS events (i.e., 263 events) have occurred.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints of the study are as follows: - ORR, defined as the proportion of subjects who achieved a confirmed PR, VGPR, CR, or sCR, according to the IMWG-URC. - OS defined as the time in months from randomization to death due to any cause. - Safety and tolerability - Sparse PK ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - ORR will be analyzed at the time of the PFS analysis (interim or final), only if the PFS analysis crosses the boundary. - The analysis of OS will be conducted at the time of the PFS analysis (interim or final), only if both PFS and ORR analyses are positive
