Eligibility Criteria

Age 18+ · All Participants · 10 Total Inclusion Criteria

Mark “Yes” if the following statements are true for you:
You must be 18 years old or older, regardless of your gender.
You have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and have received treatment for it.
You must have received certain types of medication in the past, and have undergone at least two prior treatment regimens. You can still participate if you have had an autologous bone marrow transplant more than 12 weeks ago. If you have taken carfilzomib, you can still participate if it has been more than 4 weeks since your last dose.
You have received one to three treatments for myeloma before and may not have responded well to lenalidomide but should have responded well to carfilzomib. You can have taken carfilzomib before, but your last treatment must have been at least eight weeks ago.
Your multiple myeloma has either relapsed or is not responding to the current treatment, or you have experienced disease progression within 60 days after the last treatment.
A line of therapy means a full course of treatment without any interruptions due to the cancer getting worse. This includes treatments like stem cell transplantation and maintenance therapy without a break due to the cancer progressing.
You may have received carfilzomib as a treatment before. If you have, it's important to know how your body responded to it and for how long.
You have high levels of M-protein in your blood (equal to or greater than 0.5 g/dL or 5 g/L).
You have high levels of a protein called M-protein in your urine.
Your blood test shows high levels of a specific protein called free light chain and an abnormal ratio of this protein in your blood.
