Time frame
From randomization until the data cut-off date of 15 June 2017; median (minimum, maximum) follow-up time for PFS was 12.0 (0, 20) and 12.6 (0, 19) months in each treatment group respectively.

What was measured

Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause. Disease status was assessed at a central laboratory with serum and urine protein electrophoresis, immunofixation, serum-free light chain (SFLC) assay, bone marrow sample evaluation, serum calcium, plasmacytoma evaluation, and skeletal survey. Response and disease progression were determined using a validated computer algorithm based on the International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC). Median PFS was derived using the Kaplan-Meier method; participants still alive with no disease progression were censored at the time of their last disease assessment.

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.

    Hazard ratio (once weekly carfilzomib 20/70 mg/m²/ twice weekly carfilzomib 20/27 mg/m²) was estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model stratified by the randomization stratification factors.
    group Description
    To ensure proper control of type I error, analysis of PFS was performed under a group sequential design framework with the stopping boundaries constructed using the Lan-DeMets spending function with an O'Brien-Fleming approach. The inferential comparison between the 2 treatment groups for PFS used the 1-sided log-rank test stratified by the randomization stratification factors. A 1-sided p-value was compared against the prespecified adjusted alpha value of 0.011 to determine significance.
