What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase II trial studies how well carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone before and after stem cell transplant works in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from diving. Giving carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone before and after stem cell transplant may kill more cancer cells

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who can follow the study plan, including birth control and testing. They must have certain blood cell counts, organ function, and agree to not get pregnant or father a child. People with recent major surgery, other cancers within 3 years (except some skin cancers), heart issues, uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension, active infections, HIV or hepatitis cannot join.

Inclusion Criteria

You are expected to live for more than 3 months.

Subjects must agree to adhere to all study requirements, including birth control measures and pregnancy testing, visit schedule, outpatient treatment, required concomitant medications, and laboratory monitoring

I have been newly diagnosed with myeloma and need chemotherapy.

Exclusion Criteria

You have had an allergic reaction to mannitol in the past.

I have Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia or IgM myeloma.

I haven't had cancer in the last 3 years, except for certain skin, thyroid, cervix, or low-grade prostate cancers.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
• Carfilzomib
• Dexamethasone
• Lenalidomide

Trial Overview The trial tests carfilzomib, lenalidomide & dexamethasone before/after stem cell transplant in treating new multiple myeloma patients. Carfilzomib blocks enzymes cancer cells need; lenalidomide stimulates the immune system; dexamethasone kills or stops cancer cells from dividing.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Treatment (dexamethasone, carfilzomib, lenalidomide) Experimental Treatment 5 Interventions

INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive dexamethasone IV or PO QD on days 1, 8, 15 and 22; carfilzomib IV over 10-30 minutes on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16; and lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.. TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo autologous stem cell transplant. CONSOLIDATION THERAPY: Patients receive dexamethasone, carfilzomib, and lenalidomide as in induction. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive dexamethasone and lenalidomide as in induction therapy and carfilzomib IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 2, 15, and 16. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
