Real-world use of carfilzomib combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with multiple myeloma in Europe and Israel.

ABSTRACT: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM); however, prospective real-world data are limited. This real-world, prospective, observational study evaluated carfilzomib use, effectiveness and safety in adults with RRMM. Data are presented for a subset of patients (n = 383) who received carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd). The overall response rate (ORR) was 83.6% among 360 evaluable patients. Treatment responses were better when KRd was administered at earlier therapy lines than at later lines of therapy (ORR: second line, 85.3%; third line or later, 81.0%). In patients with the anti-CD38 antibody-refractory disease, ORR was higher when KRd was administered earlie
