Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase 3 randomized trial of carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone versus lenalidomide alone after stem-cell transplant for multiple myeloma, eligible to subjects who completed autologous stem cell transplant for symptomatic myeloma who are considered for lenalidomide maintenance.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objective:

* To compare progression free survival between Kyprolis (Carfilzomib), Revlimid (lenalidomide), Dexamethasone (KRd) arm and lenalidomide arm

Secondary Objectives

* To determine the rate of minimal residual negative disease (MRD) at 6 and 12 months after randomization
* To compare the efficacy (rate of partial response, very good partial response, complete response, and stringent complete response) of KRd vs. Lenalidomide alone after randomization

Lenalidomide (Control)

Treatment with lenalidomide only

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Lenalidomide (Control)

Intervention Type DRUG

* Cycles 1-4: Days 1-28. Lenalidomide will begin at a dose of 10 mg PO daily (2 capsules per day). After three months, the dose will be increased, provided ANC ≥ 1,000/µL, platelet count ≥ 75,000/µL, and all nonhematologic toxicity is ≤ grade 1, to 15 mg PO daily (3 capsules per day).
* Cycles 5 and beyond: best tolerated dose days 1-28

Experimental Combination Regimen

Experimental arm using a combination of Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lenalidomide

Intervention Type DRUG

* Cycle 1: 15 mg days 1-21
* Cycles 2-4: 25 mg days 1-21 if tolerated, otherwise continue at lower dose
* Cycles 5 and beyond: best tolerated dose days 1-21

* Cycle 1: 20 mg/m2 Days 1, 2; 36 mg/m2 Days 8, 9, 15, 16. Alternatively, intermediate dose escalation (to 27mg/m2 on days 8,9 of cycle 1) will be al12,lowed at the treating physician's discretion.
* Cycle 2-4: 36 mg/m2 if tolerated Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16
* Cycles 5-8 (patients that are MRD- and have no risk factors at the end of cycle 6) and Cycle 5 - 36 (for MRD+ patients and high risk patients at the end of cycle 6): best tolerated dose Days 1, 2, 15, 16

Intervention Type DRUG

* Cycles 1 - 4: 20 mg PO or IV per dose Days 1, 8, 15, 22
