What was measured
EORTC QLQ-C30 was administered on day 1 of each treatment cycle. EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire used to assess the overall quality of life in cancer patients. It consists of 15 domains: 1 global health status (GHS) scale, 5 functional scales (Physical, Role, Cognitive, Emotional, Social), and 9 symptom scales/items (Fatigue, Nausea and Vomiting, Pain, Dyspnea, Insomnia, Appetite Loss, Constipation, Diarrhea, Financial Impact).
For each of these scales, scores range from 0 to 100. For the GHS and 5 functional scales a high score indicates better global health status/functioning and a positive change from baseline indicates improvement. For the 9 symptom scales, a high score indicates a higher level of symptoms, and a negative change from baseline indicates an improvement in symptoms.
Change was calculated as the difference in the average score from cycles 8 to 12 and the score on cycle 7 day 1.
Analysis population: Enrolled participants who completed 12 cycles of treatment
Groups in this outcome
Carfilzomib Plus Dexamethasone
Participants received carfilzomib administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion twice-weekly for up to six 28-day cycles followed by once-weekly for another six 28-day cycles. The carfilzomib dose was 20 mg/m² on days 1 and 2 of cycle 1, 56 mg/m² for the remaining days of cycle 1 (days 8, 9, 15, and 16) and then on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each cycle for cycles 2 to 6, and 70 mg/m² on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle for cycles 7 to 12.
Participants also received dexamethasone either orally or by IV infusion at a dose of 20 mg once daily on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23 of cycles 1 to 6 and at a dose 40 mg once daily on days 1, 8, 15 of cycles 7 to 12.
