Study Comparing Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone (CRd) vs Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (Rd) in Subjects With Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01080391
Lead Sponsor
Amgen
Brief Summary

The primary objective was to compare progression-free survival in adults with relapsed multiple myeloma who are receiving CRd vs participants receiving Rd in a randomized multicenter setting.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter study comparing two treatment regimens for adults with relapsed multiple myeloma. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the control Rd or CRd. Randomization will be stratified by β2 microglobulin levels (\< vs ≥ 2.5 mg/L), prior bortezomib (no vs yes), and prior lenalidomide (no vs yes). Participants will receive the treatment determined by randomization in 28-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (whichever occurs first).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free Survival (PFS)From randomization through the data cutoff date of 16 June 2014. Median follow-up time was approximately 31 months.

Kaplan-Meier estimate of median time from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or all-cause death. PD was assessed using International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC). One or more conditions were required to meet PD: 2 consecutive rising serum or urine M-protein from central lab; documented new bone lesion(s) or soft tissue plasmacytoma(s) or increased size of existing bone lesion(s) or plasmacytoma(s); or confirmed hypercalcemia due solely to plasma cell proliferative disorder (local lab greater than 11.5 mg/dL on 2 separate occasions). Censoring conditions (censoring dates) were: no post-baseline disease assessment (DA) (randomization date); started non-protocol systemic anticancer treatment before PD or death (last DA date before such treatment); died or had PD after more than 1 missed DA (last DA date without PD before the first missed visit); or were alive and without documentation of PD, including lost to follow-up without PD (last DA date).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease Control RateFrom randomization through the data cutoff date of 16 June 2014. Median follow-up time was approximately 31 months.

Disease control rate 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), partial response (PR), minimal response (MR), or stable disease (SD) lasting ≥ 8 weeks according to International Myeloma Working Group - Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC) (MR was determined using European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria).

Quality of Life Core Module (QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life ScoresCycle 1 Day 1 (Baseline), Day 1 of Cycles 3, 6, 12, 18

Health-related quality of life was assessed with the use of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Module (QLQ-C30) questionnaire, a validated instrument in multiple myeloma patients. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health related quality of life.

Overall SurvivalFrom randomization through the data cutoff date of 28 April 2017 for the final analysis of overall survival; median follow up time was 67.1 months in each treatment group.

Overall survival (OS) was defined as the duration from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants who were still alive were censored at the date when the participant was last known to be alive or the data cutoff date, whichever occurred earlier.

Overall Response RateFrom randomization through the data cutoff date of 16 June 2014. Median follow-up time was approximately 31 months.

Overall response rate is defined as the percentage of participants who achieved either a confirmed stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) as their best response based on the Independent Review Committee (IRC) assessed response outcome. Response was determined using the International Myeloma Working Group - Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC).

Duration of ResponseFrom randomization through the data cutoff date of 16 June 2014. Longest follow-up time was approximately 42 months.

Duration of response (DOR) was calculated for participants who achieved a best response of stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR). Duration of response was defined as the time in months from the initial start of response (PR or better) to the earlier of documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause. Participants who had not progressed or died were censored according to the censoring rules defined previously for PFS.

Duration of Disease ControlFrom randomization through the data cutoff date of 16 June 2014. Longest follow-up time was approximately 46 months.

Duration of disease control (DDC) was calculated for participants who achieved disease control. DDC was defined as the time in months from randomization to the earlier of documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause. Participants who had not progressed or died were censored according to the censoring rules defined previously for PFS.
