Brief Summary

To characterize safety associated with the use of Kyprolis under the locally approved label.

Detailed Description

Kyprolis® (K; carfilzomib) was approved in India on 17 January 2017 as a prescription medication in combination with dexamethasone (Kd) or with lenalidomide (Revlimid®) plus dexamethasone (KRd) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) following 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.

This non-comparative, interventional phase 4 study is designed to fulfil the post-marketing requirement to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Kyprolis on Indian subjects with RRMM as per the locally approved label.
