A study comparing carfilzomib (study drug) given in combination with dexamethasone once a week to twice-weekly carfilzomib in combination with dexamethasone, at the same dose, in patients with cancer of plasma cells which has re-occurred after previous successful treatment or did not show any improvement under previous treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Compare the ORR between once-weekly carfilzomib dosing in combination with dexamethasone to twice-weekly carfilzomib dosing in combination with dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received prior treatment with bortezomib and an IMiD;Secondary Objective: ? Progression-free survival (PFS) ? Overall survival (OS) ? Safety and tolerability ? Pharmacokinetics (PK) of carfilzomib using sparse sampling;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is ORR, which is defined as the proportion of subjects who achieved a confirmed PR, VGPR, CR, or sCR according to the IMWG-URC;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: * Assessment every 4 weeks to collect lab-data (Blood and Urine) for response assessment bone-marrow biopsy (only once) in case of to confirm CR/sCR or if progression in bone-marrow plasma-cell – percentage suspected. If baseline soft tissue plasmacytoma present, repetition of this imaging if progressive disease suspected clinically or to confirm MR or better in case of given clinical evidence. All these until progressive disease is demonstrated o After discontinuation of study drug treatment and demonstration of disease progression, survival follow up every 3 months (short questionnaire may be done via telephone-call) until death confirmed

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints of the study are as follows: ? PFS defined as the time in months from randomization to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause. ? OS defined as the time in months from randomization to death due to any cause. ? Safety and tolerability;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • Interim analysis of PFS is expected to occur at the time of analysis of ORR, approximately 19 months after the first subject is randomized. Final PFS analysis is expected to occur approximately 25 months after the first subject is randomized. • Interim analysis of OS is expected to occur at the time of analysis of ORR, approximately 19 months after the first subject is randomized. Final OS analysis is expected to occur approximately 25 months after the first subject is randomized. • Data will be collected till 30 days after the last administration of study treatment.nter information in English and add any other language that is applicable
