Uncontrolled hypertension or uncontrolled diabetes within 14 days prior to enrollment. 11. Uncontrolled, non-hematologic malignancy requiring active treatment. 12. Patients with known brain metastases (treated or not) will be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. 13. Significant neuropathy within 14 days prior to randomization. 14. Known history of allergy to Captisol, or to other agents in the study. 15. 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. 16. Subjects with pleural effusions requiring thoracentesis or ascites requiring paracentesis within 14 days prior to enrollment. 17. Any other clinically significant medical disease or condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, may interfere with protocol adherence or a subject's ability to give informed consent.

  1. description
    Subjects will receive Carfilzomib on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 every 28 days with dose escalation from 27, 36, 45 to 56 mg/ m2 . No matter what target dose the subject will receive, days 1 and 2 doses in the first cycle will always be 20 mg/m2, followed by target dose for all subsequent dates and cycles. Bendamustine will be given IV on days 1 and 2 with dose escalation up to 90 mg/m2 and dexamethasone 20 mg orally or intravenously on 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23 of each 28-day cycle. Study treatment will be given until 8 cycles of treatment are completed or until disease progression, whichever comes first.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    MTD defined as the highest dose at which ≤20% of participants experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), to define the recommended phase II dose. DLT were evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) of the National Cancer Institute version 4.0. An AE was considered a DLT if it occurred in cycle 1, was deemed related to study treatment, and was one of peripheral neuropathy ≥grade 2, any non-hematologic AE ≥ grade 3, neutropenia grade 4 lasting ≥7 days or with fever, thrombocytopenia grade 4 lasting ≥7 days or with bleeding, or any AE requiring a dose reduction during cycle 1 or a delay in the start of cycle 2.

secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    ORR defined as the number of participants demonstrating complete response or partial response. Complete response defined as complete disappearance of an M-protein and no evidence of MM in the bone marrow. Partial response defined as ≥50% reduction in the level of the serum monoclonal paraprotein, reduction in 24-hour M-protein either by greater than or equal to 90% or to \<200 mg, ≥50% reduction in size of soft tissue plasmacytoma (by radiography or clinical examination), no increase in the number or size of lytic bone lesions.

Full study description
brief Summary
This study is designed to define dose-limiting toxicity and determine preliminary evidence of efficacy of carfilzomib (CFZ) in combination with bendamustine and dexamethasone for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM).
detailed Description
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder resulting in approximately 11,000 deaths in the United States each year. It is estimated that between 60,000-80,000 people are currently under treatment for refractory or relapsed MM. Prognosis and survival have improved over the last 20 years, but the disease is still universally fatal despite efforts to develop new and more effective chemotherapeutic regimens. Therefore, new regimens need to be developed for patients prior to peripheral blood stem cell transplant and for those unable to tolerate the toxicity of transplant. An IRB-approved long-term retrospective chart review study (IRB-AAAU4389) was conducted to collect data for Outcome Measures relating to long-term analysis (up to 6.5 years).
