Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  2. Patients must have evaluable multiple myeloma with, at least one of the following (assessed within 21 days prior to randomization):

    • Serum M-protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL, or
    • Urine M-protein ≥ 200 mg/24 hour, or
    • In patients without detectable serum or urine M-protein, serum free light chain (SFLC) > 100 mg/L (involved light chain) and an abnormal serum kappa/lamda ratio, or

  3. Patients must have documented at least partial response (PR) to at least 1 line of prior therapy. PR documentation can be based on Investigator assessment.
  4. Received 1, but no more than 3 prior treatment regimens or lines of therapy for multiple myeloma. (Induction therapy followed by stem cell transplant and consolidation/maintenance therapy will be considered as one line of therapy).
  5. Prior therapy with Velcade is allowed as long as the patient had at least a PR to prior Velcade therapy, was not removed from Velcade therapy due to toxicity, and will have at least a 6 month Velcade treatment-free interval from last dose received until first study treatment. (Patients may receive maintenance therapy with drugs that are not in the proteasome inhibitor class during this 6 month Velcade treatment-free interval).
  6. Prior therapy with carfilzomib is allowed as long as the patient had at least a PR to prior carfilzomib therapy, was not removed from carfilzomib therapy due to toxicity, and had at least a 6-month carfilzomib treatment-free interval from last dose received until first study treatment. (Patients may receive maintenance therapy with drugs that are not in the proteasome inhibitor class during this 6 month carfilzomib treatment-free interval). The exception to this is patients randomized or previously randomized in any other Onyx-Sponsored Phase 3 trial.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free Survival
Time Frame: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 10 November 2014; median follow-up time for PFS was 11.1.and 11.9 months in the bortezomib and carfilzomib arms respectively

Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause. Participants were evaluated for disease response and progression according to the International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC) as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC).

Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Participants with no baseline disease assessments, starting a new anticancer therapy before documentation of disease progression or death, death or disease progression immediately after more than 1 consecutively missed disease assessment visit, or alive without documentation of disease progression before the data cut-off date were censored.

From randomization until the data cut-off date of 10 November 2014; median follow-up time for PFS was 11.1.and 11.9 months in the bortezomib and carfilzomib arms respectively

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival
Time Frame: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 03 January 2017; median follow-up time for OS was 36.9 and 37.5 months for each treatment group respectively.

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death (whatever the cause). Participants who were alive or lost to follow-up as of the data analysis cut-off date were censored at the patient's date of last contact (last known to be alive).

Median overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

From randomization until the data cut-off date of 03 January 2017; median follow-up time for OS was 36.9 and 37.5 months for each treatment group respectively.
Overall Response
Time Frame: Disease response was assessed every 28 days until end of treatment or the data cut-off date of 10 November 2014; median duration of treatment was 27 weeks in the bortezomib group and 40 weeks in the carfilzomib treatment group.

Disease response was evaluated according to the IMWG-URC by the IRC. Overall response was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of partial response (PR), very good PR (VGPR), complete response (CR) or stringent CR (sCR).

sCR: As for CR, normal serum free light chain (SFLC) ratio and no clonal cells in bone marrow (BM).

CR: No immunofixation on serum and urine, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and < 5% plasma cells in BM biopsy; VGPR: Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not electrophoresis or ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-protein with urine M-protein <100 mg/24 hours. A ≥ 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas if present at baseline.

PR: ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in urine M-protein by ≥ 90% or to < 200 mg/24 hours. A ≥ 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas if present at baseline.

Disease response was assessed every 28 days until end of treatment or the data cut-off date of 10 November 2014; median duration of treatment was 27 weeks in the bortezomib group and 40 weeks in the carfilzomib treatment group.
Duration of Response
Time Frame: From randomization until the data cut-off date of 10 November 2014; median follow-up time for DOR was 9.4 and 10.4 months for each treatment group respectively.
Duration of response (DOR) was calculated for participants who achieved an sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR. Duration of response is defined as the time from first evidence of PR or better to confirmation of disease progression or death due to any cause. Median duration of response was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Participants with no baseline disease assessments, starting a new anticancer therapy before documentation of disease progression or death, death or disease progression immediately after more than 1 consecutively missed disease assessment visit, or alive without documentation of disease progression before the data cut-off date were censored.
From randomization until the data cut-off date of 10 November 2014; median follow-up time for DOR was 9.4 and 10.4 months for each treatment group respectively.
Percentage of Participants With ≥ Grade 2 Peripheral Neuropathy
Time Frame: From the first dose of study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug as of the data cut-off date of 10 November 2014; median duration of treatment was 27 weeks in the bortezomib group and 40 weeks in the carfilzomib treatment group.

Neuropathy events were defined as Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy as specified by peripheral neuropathy Standardised Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Query, narrow (scope) (SMQN) terms.

Peripheral neuropathy was assessed by neurologic exam and graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03:

Grade 1: Asymptomatic; Grade 2: Moderate symptoms, limiting instrumental activities of daily living (ADL) Grade 3: Severe symptoms; limiting self-care ADL; Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences, urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5: Death.

From the first dose of study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug as of the data cut-off date of 10 November 2014; median duration of treatment was 27 weeks in the bortezomib group and 40 weeks in the carfilzomib treatment group.
Percentage of Participants With a Significant Reduction in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 weeks

A significant reduction in LVEF was defined as a ≥ 10% decrease (absolute change) from baseline in participants whose baseline LVEF is ≤ 55%.

For participants with LVEF > 55% at baseline, a significant change was defined as a decrease in LVEF to < 45%.

Baseline and 24 weeks
Change From Baseline in Right Ventricular Fractional Area Change (FAC)
Time Frame: Baseline and Weeks 12, 24 and 36 and at end of treatment (median duration of treatment was 27 weeks in the bortezomib group and 40 weeks in the carfilzomib treatment group).
