E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to compare progression free survival (PFS) in subjects with relapsed multiple myeloma who are receiving carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (CRd) versus PFS in subjects receiving low-dose lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) alone in a randomized multicenter setting. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives include investigating the effect of carfilzomib given with lenalidomide and dexamethasone on other standard efficacy variables including overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR [sCR + CR + VGPR + PR]), disease control rate (DCR [ overall responses +minimal response + stable disease lasting at least 8 weeks]) duration of response (DOR), change from baseline in quality of life (QOL) assessment measured by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and
QLQ-MY20, time to progression (exploratory), QOL subscales of EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-MY20 (exploratory), time to next treatment (exploratory), and clinical benefit response (CBR = [ORR + MR1], exploratory). |

Disease-related
* If previously treated with bortezomib (alone or in combination), progression during treatment

- Progression during the first 3 months of initiating treatment
- Any progression during treatment if the lenalidomide/dexamethasone combination was the subject’s most recent line of therapy
* Discontinuation of previous lenalidomide or dexamethasone due to intolerance; subjects intolerant to bortezomib are not excluded
* Prior carfilzomib treatment
* POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes)

* Significant neuropathy (Grades 3–4, or Grade 2 with pain) within 14 days prior to randomization
* Known history of allergy to Captisol® (a cyclodextrin derivative used to solubilize carfilzomib)
* Contraindication to any of the required concomitant drugs or supportive treatments, including hypersensitivity to all anticoagulation and antiplatelet options, antiviral drugs, or intolerance to hydration due to preexisting pulmonary or cardiac impairment
* Ongoing graft-vs-host disease
* Subjects with pleural effusions requiring thoracentesis or ascites requiring paracentesis within 14 days prior to randomization
