Study hypothesis
|
This is a phase II randomised, controlled, parallel group, multi-centre trial of carfilzomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (CCD) vs. cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (CVD) for multiple myeloma patients at first relapse or refractory to no more than 1 line of treatment. Participants will be randomised in a 2:1 ratio in favour of CCD. The proposed study will compare 8 cycles of CVD with 6 cycles of CCD, and will also assess the benefit of maintenance carfilzomib in participants in the CCD arm. Participants in the CCD arm, who have at least stable disease at the end of the initial 6 cycles of CCD, will be randomised to receive maintenance therapy with Carfilzomib or no further treatment. Participants in the CVD arm will not receive maintenance therapy. In order to compare the regimens with regard to activity, the trial has been designed to incorporate two co-primary endpoints: response and progression-free survival.
This allows the trial to:
1. Assess the activity of the regimens after a fixed period of 24 weeks of treatment, i.e. not incorporating the maintenance phase in the CCD arm
2. Compare the activity of the whole CCD regimen with and without maintenance therapy. Additionally, the whole CCD regimen without maintenance will be compared with the CVD regimen, by evaluating the longer term endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS).
The trial is designed to assess the non-inferiority of CCD as compared to CVD in terms of response and the superiority of CCD with maintenance as compared to CCD with no maintenance in terms of progression-free survival. The trial will also explore the non-inferiority of CCD with no maintenance as compared to CVD in terms of PFS.
