S1304, Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone for Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Myeloma

November 26, 2024 updated by: SWOG Cancer Research Network

A Phase II Randomized Study Comparing Two Doses of Carfilzomib (NSC-756640) With Dexamethasone for Multiple Myeloma Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Disease

This randomized phase II trial compares how well two different doses of carfilzomib work when given with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement or has not responded to treatment. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving carfilzomib together with dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether a higher or lower dose of carfilzomib works better when given with dexamethasone.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate and compare progression free survival (PFS) of two different doses of carfilzomib with dexamethasone in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with relapsed and/or refractory disease.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate and compare response rates (RR) for each arm. II. To evaluate response rates (RR) for patients that relapse on low dose carfilzomib and subsequently cross-over to high dose carfilzomib.

III. To evaluate the safety of this combination for this patient population. IV. To evaluate overall survival (OS).

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To explore the molecular variability in MM cells obtained from extramedullary bone marrow relapse sites.

II. To explore the role of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in assessing disease burden and as a tool to assess treatment response.

III. To explore changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with low dose carfilzomib or high dose carfilzomib plus dexamethasone.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive dexamethasone intravenously (IV) and low-dose carfilzomib IV over 2-10 minutes on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16. Patients with progression cross-over to Arm II.

ARM II: Patients receive dexamethasone IV and high-dose carfilzomib IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16.

Note that for the first course of treatment on both arms carfilzomib is given at a reduced rate to assess toxicity.

In both arms, treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 3 years from initial registration.

    • Any maintenance therapy used after an Induction should be considered part of that Induction regimen
    • Use of any agent or combination of agents more than once during the patient's disease history for separate documented disease progressions will be counted as separate regimens (e.g., if a patient receives lenalidomide/bortezomib at initial diagnosis and achieves response, but then progresses and receives lenalidomide/bortezomib after progression, these count as 2 separate regimens)
    • In cases of allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplant, the entire induction + stem cell mobilization + conditioning + planned maintenance should be considered one regimen
  • Patients may not have received any prior carfilzomib treatment
  • Patients must not be receiving any other concurrent therapy considered to be investigational; patients must not be planning to receive any radiotherapy (except localized radiation for palliative care); patients must not be planning to receive any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or other treatment with curative intent
  • Patients must have complete history and physical examination within 28 days prior to registration

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gene Expression Profiles
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
Bone marrow compared to that of an aspirate taken at the site of the EMP. Data will be log-transformed before analysis. Exploratory analyses will examine underlying distributions using boxplots, density plots, scatter plots, etc. For differential expression analysis of the two sample types t-tests will be conducted on genes. False discovery rate will be used to control the average false positive proportions among selected genes. Genes will be ranked by their q-value and pathway analysis conducted upon selected genes to determine biological plausibility and relevance to molecular functionality.
Up to 3 years
Incidence of CR by PET, Defined as the Disappearance of All Focal Lesions and the Resolution of EMD
Time Frame: Up to week 45
Univariate and multivariate logistic regression will be used to determine the impact of biochemical CR on CR by PET. In the multivariate analysis adjustment for standard prognostic factors such as age, albumin, beta-2 microglobulin, serum creatinine, c-reactive protein and lactate dehydrogenase will be included.
Up to week 45
