What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    Safety and tolerability were evaluated according to the type, incidence, and severity of adverse events.

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment.

    A serious adverse event is defined as an AE that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria:

    • fatal
    • life threatening
    • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
    • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity
    • congenital anomaly/birth defect
    • other medically important serious event

    The severity of each AE was assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.03 where Grade 1 = Mild, Grade 2 = Moderate, Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening, and Grade 5 = Death.

    Measured: From the first dose of any study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of any study drug; median (range) duration of treatment with carfilzomib was 32 (1.1, 76.7) weeks in RRMM participants and 26 (1.0, 94.4) weeks in NDMM participants.

  2. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin Levels

    Measured: Baseline and Cycle 1, days 8 and 15 and Cycle 2 days 1, 8, and 15

  3. Change From Baseline in Platelet Count

    Measured: Baseline and Cycle 1, days 8 and 15 and Cycle 2 days 1, 8, and 15

  4. Change From Baseline in Neutrophil Count

    Measured: Baseline and Cycle 1, days 8 and 15 and Cycle 2 days 1, 8, and 15

  5. Change From Baseline in Bilirubin

    Measured: Baseline and Cycle 2 day 1

  6. Change From Baseline in Creatinine

    Measured: Baseline and Cycle 1, days 8 and 15 and Cycle 2 days 1, 8, and 15

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration of Carfilzomib on Day 8 of Cycle 1 by Dose Group

    Measured: Day 8 of Cycle 1 at predose, 15 minutes after the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 15 and 60 minutes after the end of infusion

  2. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration of Carfilzomib on Day 8 of Cycle 1 by Dose Group

    Measured: Day 8 of Cycle 1 at predose, 15 minutes after the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 15 and 60 minutes after the end of infusion

  3. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration of Carfilzomib on Day 8 of Cycle 1 by Dose Group

    Measured: Day 8 of Cycle 1 at predose, 15 minutes after the start of infusion, at the end of infusion, and 15 and 60 minutes after the end of infusion

  4. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Response was determined by the investigator based on the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG URC). ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best response of stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR) or partial response (PR). Responses must have been confirmed in 2 consecutive assessments at any time prior to initiation of any new therapy.

    Disease assessments included serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) with immunofixation, urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP; 24-hour assessment) with immunofixation, serum free light chain (SFLC), quantitative immunoglobulins, bone marrow aspirates to determine percent plasma cell involvement, and skeletal imaging for plasmacytoma evaluation.

    Measured: Response assessments were performed on day 1 of each treatment cycle from cycle 2 and then every 8 weeks during follow-up until disease progression. Median time on follow-up was 10.6 months in RRMM participants and 6.9 months in NDMM participants.

  5. Complete Response Rate (CRR)

    Complete Response Rate (CRR) is defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best overall response of either stringent complete response (sCR) or complete response (CR) in accordance with International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC).

    sCR: As for CR, and absence of clonal plasma cells in bone marrow (BM) CR: Negative serum and urine immunofixation, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, < 5% plasma cells in BM, and normal SFLC ratio in participants with measurable disease only by SFLC.

    Measured: Response assessments were performed on day 1 of each treatment cycle from cycle 2 and then every 8 weeks during follow-up until disease progression. Median time on follow-up was 10.6 months in RRMM participants and 6.9 months in NDMM participants.

  6. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause.

    Disease progression was determined by the investigator according to IMWG-URC. Progressive Disease (PD): Increase of 25% from lowest value in serum M-component (absolute increase ≥ 0.5 g/dL), urine M-component (absolute increase ≥ 200 mg per 24 hours) and/or the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels (absolute increase >10 mg/dL) in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels, and/or any new or increase in size of bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas, or development of hypercalcemia.

    PFS was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods. Participants who were alive with no documented PD, started new anticancer therapy before documentation of PD or death, had death or PD immediately after > 1 consecutively missed assessment visit, were lost to follow-up or withdrew consent were censored at the date of last disease assessment.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until the end of follow-up; Median time on follow-up was 10.6 months in RRMM participants and 6.9 months in NDMM participants.

  7. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Duration of response (DOR) was calculated for participants who achieved a confirmed PR or better based on Investigator assessment and according to the IMWG URC. Duration of overall response is defined as the time from first documentation of response to disease progression or death due to any cause. DOR was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods. Participants who were alive with no documented PD, started new anticancer therapy before documentation of PD or death, had death or PD immediately after > 1 consecutively missed disease assessment visit, were lost to follow-up, or withdrew consent were censored at the date of last disease assessment.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until the end of follow-up; Median time on follow-up was 10.6 months in RRMM participants and 6.9 months in NDMM participants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Amgen at 59 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 59 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Nov 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: From the first dose of any study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of any study drug; median (range) duration of treatment with carfilzomib was 32 (1.1, 76.7) weeks in RRMM participants and 26 (1.0, 94.4) weeks in NDMM participants.). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02335983, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
