Time frame
Disease response was assessed every 3 weeks during the first 54 weeks and every 6 weeks thereafter until PD or the data cut-off date of 15 July 2016; median follow-up time was 21.6.and 22.2 months in the bortezomib and carfilzomib arms respectively.

What was measured

Disease response was evaluated according to the IMWG-URC using a validated computer algorithm. Overall response was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR). sCR: As for CR, normal serum free light chain (SFLC) ratio and no clonal cells in bone marrow (BM). CR: No immunofixation on serum and urine, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and \< 5% plasma cells in BM biopsy; VGPR: Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not electrophoresis or ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-protein with urine M-protein \<100 mg/24 hours. A ≥ 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas if present at baseline. PR: ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in urine M-protein by ≥ 90% or to \< 200 mg/24 hours. A ≥ 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas if present at baseline.

Groups in this outcome

Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone

Participants received bortezomib in combination with melphalan and prednisone for nine 42-day cycles. Bortezomib was administered either IV or subcutaneously at 1.3 mg/m² during cycles 1 to 4 on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 22, 25, 29, and 32 followed by 1.3 mg/m² during cycles 5 to 9 on days 1, 8, 22, and 29. On days 1 to 4 of each cycle, melphalan was administered at 9 mg/m² and prednisone was administered at 60 mg/m².

Carfilzomib, Melphalan, Prednisone

Participants received carfilzomib administered in combination with melphalan and prednisone for nine 42-day cycles. Carfilzomib was administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 22, 23, 29, and 30 of each 42-day cycle. The carfilzomib dose was at 20 mg/m² on cycle 1, days 1 and 2 followed by 36 mg/m² thereafter. On days 1 to 4, melphalan was administered at 9 mg/m² and prednisone was administered at 60 mg/m².
