Consolidation and Maintenance Therapy With Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone (CPD) in High-Risk Myeloma Patients: A Phase 2 Study With a Safety Run-In
This phase II trial studies how well carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone work in
treating patients with high-risk multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer
cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy,
such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer
cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
spreading. Giving carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone may work better in treating
patients with multiple myeloma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the ≥ complete response (CR) rates with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and
dexamethasone (CPD) consolidation and maintenance.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the improved progression free survival (PFS) with CPD consolidation and
maintenance among high-risk patients.
II. To determine the best response rates (very good partial response rate [VGPR], stringent
complete response [sCR] rate) with CPD consolidation and maintenance.
II. To evaluate the safety of the CPD combination as consolidative and maintenance regimen.
III. To characterize safety in subjects who receive CPD consolidation and maintenance.
IV. To evaluate the duration of response (DOR).
V. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) in high-risk patients.
VI. To evaluate the minimal residual disease (MRD) detection with CPD consolidation and
maintenance.
OUTLINE:
CONSOLIDATION: Patients receive carfilzomib intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 2,
8, 9, 15, and 16, pomalidomide orally (PO) daily on days 1-21, and dexamethasone PO daily on
days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 courses in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
MAINTENANCE: Patients receive carfilzomib IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15,
pomalidomide PO daily on days 1-21, and dexamethasone PO daily on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses
repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.

days of initiation of protocol therapy unless otherwise specified; subject is, in the
investigator's opinion, willing and able to comply with the protocol requirements
- Subject has given voluntary signed written informed consent before performance of any
study-related procedure that is not part of normal medical care, with the
understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without
prejudice to their future medical care
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤ 1
