Median duration of response was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time to Progression (TTP)Participants were followed for disease progression for up to 2 years.Time to Progression is defined as the time from first dose of carfilzomib to disease progression. Median TTP was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods.

Outcome results

Primary

Clearance (CL) of Carfilzomib on Day 1 of Cycle 1

Plasma concentrations of carfilzomib was determined by a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) method. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 0.300 ng/mL. Concentration values that were below the LLOQ (BLQ) were set to zero. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated from the individual plasma concentrations of carfilzomib using a noncompartmental method.

Time frame: Cycle 1, Day 1 before dosing, at the end of the injection, 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes, and 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours postdose.

Population: The pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluable population includes participants with stable baseline renal function (Arms 1-4) who completed all protocol-specified treatment and PK blood sample collection through Cycle 1, Day 16. In Group 5, only samples collected before dialysis were included.~CL could not be estimated for 11 patients in the PK population.

Comparison: In order to estimate a possible effect of renal function, the relationship between the clearance of carfilzomib and creatinine clearance (CrCl) was explored using a mixed-effects model that included CrCl.~The slope of the regression of CL as a function of CrCL at Cycle 1, Day 1 was evaluated using a linear regression model that included CrCL as continuous variables (excluding the hemodialysis group).p-value: 0.411495% CI: [-2.129, 0.914]Regression, Linear

Duration of Response

Duration of Response is defined as the time from first evidence of PR or better to confirmation of disease progression or death. Progressive disease was defined as any of the following: * An increase of more than 25% from nadir in any one of the following: * M-protein in serum (the absolute increase had to be ≥ 0.5 g/dL); * Urine (the absolute increase had to be ≥ 200 mg/24 hours); * The difference between involved and uninvolved sFLC (the absolute increase in the concentration of involved light chain had to be \> 10 mg/dL); * ≥ 10% bone marrow infiltration by plasma cells; * Increased size of pre-existing bone lesions or plasmacytomas or new bone lesions or plasmacytomas. Median duration of response was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame: Participants were followed for disease progression for up to 2 years.

Population: Response Evaluable Population with a best overall response of sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR.

Overall Response Rate (ORR)

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best response of stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) per the International Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma. sCR: CR as defined below plus normal serum free light chain (sFLC) ratio and absence of clonal plasma cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence; CR: absence of M-protein in serum and urine confirmed by immunofixation and \< 5% plasma cells in the bone marrow; VGPR: serum and urine M-proteins detectable by immunofixation, but not by electrophoresis or a ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-protein from baseline, plus a urine M-protein level of \< 100 mg/24 hours; PR: reduction of M-protein in serum of ≥ 50% and in urine of ≥ 90% from baseline. If serum and urine M-protein were not measureable at baseline, a ≥ 50% decrease in the difference between involved and uninvolved sFLC levels from baseline.

Time frame: From first dose until 30 days after the last dose; median duration of treatment across all groups was 121 days.

Population: The response evaluable population included all participants with measurable disease and a baseline and at least 1 post-baseline disease assessment or who discontinued study treatment due to a related adverse event prior to obtaining an on-study disease assessment.
