Single-agent carfilzomib administered at either 20 or 27 mg/m2 on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16, in 28-day cycles. The 20/27 regimen was composed of one cycle at 20 mg/m2 followed by 11 cycles at 27 mg/m2.
Cfz indicates carfilzomib; DOR, duration of response; CRd, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone; CTd, carfilzomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone; MR, minimal response; NR, not reported; EMN, European Myeloma Network; DVT, deep vein thrombosis; and PE, pulmonary embolism.
