Time frame
Disease response was assessed every 28 days until progressive disease, up to the data cut-off date of 15 June 2017; median time on follow-up was 12.0 and 12.6 months in each treatment group respectively.

What was measured

Disease response was evaluated according to the IMWG-URC using a validated computer algorithm. Overall response rate 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

Twice-weekly Carfilzomib 20/27 mg/m² + Dexamethasone

Participants received carfilzomib administered by intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle (20 mg/m² on days 1 and 2 of cycle 1 and 27 mg/m² thereafter). Participants also received 40 mg dexamethasone IV or orally on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for the first 8 cycles; starting with cycle 9, dexamethasone was administered only on days 1, 8, and 15.

Once-weekly Carfilzomib 20/70 mg/m² + Dexamethasone

Participants received carfilzomib administered by IV infusion on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle (20 mg/m² on day 1 of cycle 1 and 70 mg/m² thereafter). Participants also received 40 mg dexamethasone IV or orally on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for the first 8 cycles; starting with cycle 9, dexamethasone was administered only on days 1, 8, and 15.
