Phase 2 Study of Carfilzomib in Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Summary
250 evaluable subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma will be enrolled to evaluate the overall response rate and safety and tolerability of carfilzomib in this phase 2 study. Patients must have received prior treatment with bortezomib and either thalidomide or lenalidomide and be refractory to their last treatment.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Leukemia, Plasma Cell
A rare, aggressive variant of MULTIPLE MYELOMA characterized by the circulation of excessive PLASMA CELLS in the peripheral blood. It can be a primary manifestation of multiple myeloma or develop as a terminal complication during the disease.
Myeloma Proteins
Abnormal immunoglobulins characteristic of MULTIPLE MYELOMA.
Bence Jones Protein
An abnormal protein with unusual thermosolubility characteristics that is found in the urine of patients with MULTIPLE MYELOMA.
Hla-c Antigens
Class I human histocompatibility (HLA) antigens encoded by a small cluster of structural genes at the C locus on chromosome 6. They have significantly lower immunogenicity than the HLA-A and -B determinants and are therefore of minor importance in donor/recipient crossmatching. Their primary role is their high-risk association with certain disease manifestations (e.g., spondylarthritis, psoriasis, multiple myeloma).
Multiple Myeloma
A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.
Clinical Trials
Compassionate Use Study of Carfilzomib
This is a compassionate use, open-label, IND study for the purpose of providing carfilzomib to patients with relapsed or resistant refractory multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to assess the influence of renal impairment on carfilzomib in subjects with Multiple Myeloma (MM).
The purpose of this study is to expand upon the safety data for carfilzomib by providing expanded access to patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who are unable to enroll...
Phase 2 Study of Carfilzomib in Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
Approximately 155 evaluable subjects with relapsed multiple myeloma will be enrolled to evaluate the best overall response rate, safety and tolerability of carfilzomib in this phase 2 stud...
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of carfilzomib + lenalidomide in combination with dexamethasone in newly diagnosed Multiple Myelom...
