NCT ID:
NCT01677858
Brief Summary:
The study had the following primary objectives:
* Phase 1: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of once-weekly (QW) carfilzomib and dexamethasone for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received 1 to 3 prior therapies
* Phase 2: to estimate the overall response rate (ORR) for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who received 1 to 3 prior therapies treated with carfilzomib and dexamethasone QW at the MTD established in phase 1.
Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, single-arm, nonrandomized, open-label and dose-escalation study of weekly carfilzomib and dexamethasone for patients with progressive multiple myeloma. The Phase 1 dose escalation portion will enroll patients into sequential dose-escalating cohorts consisting of 3 patients each to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of carfilzomib administered weekly as a 30 minute intravenous (IV) infusion with dexamethasone. The Phase 2 portion will enroll patients using the MTD established for carfilzomib from the Phase 1 portion of the study. Dexamethasone will be administered IV or orally at the same dose and schedule as used in the Phase 1 portion of the study.
