Phase 1/2 Trial of Carfilzomib Plus High-Dose Melphalan Preparative Regimen for Salvage Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Followed by Maintenance Carfilzomib in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma.

ABSTRACT: We performed a phase 1/2 trial to investigate the safety and activity of the second-generation proteasome inhibitor Carfilzomib (K) on days -3/-2 in combination with melphalan 200 mg/m² (MEL200) on day -2 (K-MEL) in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (phases 1 and 2). Patients without progression received 12 cycles of K maintenance at 36 mg/m² days 1, 8, and 15 (schedule A) or days 1, 2, 15, and 16 (schedule B), with patients being treated for 2 cycles in each schedule and on the patient-preferred schedule for the remaining cycles (phase 2). The patients had received a median of 3 previous lines of therapy, 56% had undergone previous AHCT, and 51% had received previous K therapy. During phase 1 (n = 15
