Protocol Synopsis
Protocol Title:  Post-marketing Phase 4 Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and
Efficacy of Kyprolis® (Carfilzomib) in Indian Patients With Relapsed or Refractory
Multiple Myeloma:  A Prospective, Open-label, Non-comparative, Multicenter Study
Short Protocol Title:  Phase 4 Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of 
Kyprolis (Carfilzomib) in Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma 
Study Phase:  4 
Indication:  Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma 
Rationale 
Kyprolis® (K; carfilzomib) was approved in India on 17 January 2017 as a prescription 
medication in combination with dexamethasone (Kd) or with lenalidomide (Revlimid®) 
plus dexamethasone (KRd) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory 
multiple myeloma (RRMM) following 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy. 
This non-comparative, interventional phase 4 study is designed to fulfill the 
post-marketing requirement to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Kyprolis on 
Indian subjects with RRMM as per the locally approved label. 
Objective(s)/Endpoint(s) 
Objectives 
Endpoints 
Primary 
To characterize safety associated with the use 
of Kyprolis under the locally approved label 
The subject incidence, severity, and outcome 
of treatment-emergent adverse events using 
National Cancer Institute Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI 
CTCAE) v.4.03 including clinically significant 
laboratory parameter changes over time

Protocol Number:  20160372 
Date:  29 October 2019 
Page 10 of 92 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Objectives 
Endpoints 
Secondary 
To characterize efficacy of Kyprolis when 
administered under the locally approved label 
Progression free survival (PFS), overall 
response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate 
(CBR), time to response (TTR), and duration 
of response (DOR) will be evaluated by the 
investigator as per local standard procedure 
using International Myeloma Working 
Group-Uniform Response Criteria 
(IMWG-URC). 

PFS is defined as the time from first dose
of study treatment until the earliest date of
disease progression or death due to any
cause

ORR is defined as the proportion of
subjects with either a best overall
response of stringent complete response
(sCR), complete response (CR), very
good partial response (VGPR), or partial
response (PR)

CBR is defined as the proportion of 
subjects with either a best overall 
response of sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, and 
minimal response (MR) 

TTR is calculated only for subjects who
achieve a best overall response of PR or
better and is defined as the time from first
dose of study treatment to the earliest
date a response of PR or better is first
achieved and subsequently confirmed

DOR is defined as the time from initial
response (sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR) to
date of disease progression
Hypotheses 
This phase 4 study is descriptive in nature.  There is no hypothesis to be tested.  The 
study will provide descriptive data on the safety profile associated with the use of 
Kyprolis under the locally approved label as well as its efficacy in terms of PFS, ORR, 
CBR, TTR, and DOR. 
Overall Design 
This open-label, multicenter, non-comparative phase 4 study of Kyprolis is part of 
Amgen’s post-marketing requirement to the Indian Regulatory Authority.  The study 
population consists of approximately 100 subjects with RRMM and for whom Kyprolis is 
indicated in accordance with the approved prescribing information in India.

A subject will be considered on study treatment while receiving Kyprolis.  If Kyprolis is 
discontinued, lenalidomide and/or dexamethasone may be continued outside of the 
study.  No crossover between the treatments will be allowed. 
Number of Subjects 
Approximately 100 subjects with previously treated RRMM will be enrolled. 
Summary of Subject Eligibility Criteria 
The key inclusion criteria include: 
 
documented RRMM after last treatment 
 
eligible to receive Kyprolis per the locally approved label 
 
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 
 
adequate organ and bone marrow function within 28 days prior to treatment 
The key exclusion criteria include:  
 
active congestive heart failure, clinically significant echocardiogram (ECHO) 
abnormalities, screening electrocardiogram (ECG) with corrected QT interval (QTc) 
of > 470 msec, pericardial disease, or myocardial infarction within 4 months prior to 
enrollment 
 
uncontrolled hypertension 
 
infiltrative pulmonary disease and/or known pulmonary hypertension 
 
prior treatment with Kyprolis (carfilzomib) 
For a full list of eligibility criteria, please refer to Section 6.1 to Section 6.2. 
Treatments 
Subjects will receive Kyprolis according to the locally approved label either as triplet 
(KRd) or doublet (Kd) combination, assigned by the investigator based on clinical 
evaluation and before the decision to include the patient in this study. 
For the triplet combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, Kyprolis will be 
administered as an infusion over approximately 10 minutes on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 
16 of repeated 28-day treatment cycles.  The recommended starting dose of Kyprolis is 
20 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2, and if tolerated, escalated to a target dose of 27 mg/m2 
starting on day 8 of cycle 1 and thereafter.  From cycle 13, the day 8 and day 9 doses of 
Kyprolis will be omitted.  After cycle 18, Kyprolis will be discontinued.  Lenalidomide 
25 mg is taken orally on days 1 to 21 and dexamethasone 40 mg by mouth or 
intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the 28-day cycles.

For the doublet combination with dexamethasone, Kyprolis should be administered as a 
30-minute infusion on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of repeated 28-day treatment cycles.
The recommended starting dose of Kyprolis is 20 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2, and if
tolerated, escalated to a target dose of 56 mg/m2 starting on day 8 of cycle 1 and
thereafter.  Dexamethasone 20 mg is taken by mouth or intravenously on days 1, 2, 8, 9,
15, 16, 22, and 23 of each 28-day cycle.
Procedures
Informed consent must be obtained before starting any screening procedure.  The 
following procedures will occur per the Schedule of Assessments:  demographics, 
medical/surgical history, physical measurements, vital signs, ECG, ECOG performance 
status, ECHO/multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan, review of adverse event/serious 
adverse event, concomitant medications, and review of disease status.  Laboratory 
assessments will include pregnancy testing, coagulation tests, hematology, chemistry 
tests, and other analytes specified in Table 12-1. 
For a full list of study procedures, including the timing of each procedure, please refer to 
Section 9.2 and the Schedule of Activities in Table 2-1. 
Statistical Considerations 
The primary analysis of safety and efficacy will be performed on the Safety Analysis Set. 
The Safety Analysis Set will include all subjects who received at least 1 dose of the 
investigational product.  The primary analysis will occur when the last subject enrolled 
has had the opportunity to receive the study treatment for at least 9 months. 
Subject incidence of all treatment-emergent adverse events will be tabulated by system 
organ class, preferred term, and severity grade.  The safety laboratory endpoints, vital 
signs, physical measurements, and ECG measurements will also be analyzed.  
Descriptive statistics will be produced to describe the exposure to investigational product 
(Kyprolis) and non-Amgen non-investigational products (dexamethasone and/or 
lenalidomide). 
Secondary efficacy endpoints include PFS, ORR, CBR, TTR, and DOR.  Progression 
free survival will be summarized descriptively using with the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method.  
The point estimates of ORR and CBR will be summarized along with exact binomial 
95% confidence intervals.  TTR and DOR are calculated only for the responders, and will 
be summarized descriptively.  KM method will be used to analyze DOR. 
For a full description of statistical analysis methods, please refer to Section 10.

Introduction
3.1 
Study Rationale
Kyprolis® (K; carfilzomib) was approved in India on 17 January 2017 as a prescription
medication in combination with dexamethasone (Kd) or with lenalidomide (Revlimid®)
plus dexamethasone (KRd) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory
multiple myeloma (RRMM) following 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy and as single agent for
the treatment of patients with RRMM who have received 1 or more lines of therapy.
This non-comparative, interventional phase 4 study is designed to fulfil the 
post-marketing requirement to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Kyprolis on 
Indian subjects with RRMM as per the locally approved label.  
3.2 
Background 
3.2.1 
Disease 
Multiple myeloma, a clonal neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells, is the second most 
common hematologic malignancy and is responsible for approximately 80 000 annual 
deaths worldwide (1% of cancer deaths) (Ferlay et al, 2015).  In 2012, the estimated 
incidence of multiple myeloma in India was 6955, which represents 0.7% of all cancers.  
The 5 year prevalence of multiple myeloma was estimated at 11 886 persons; 
(WHO Fact Sheet).  Multiple myeloma is a disease of older adults, with a median age at 
diagnosis of 70 years (Howlader et al, 2013).
While treatment for multiple myeloma will typically induce remission, multiple myeloma 
eventually relapses in most patients.  Remissions are increasingly transient with 
successive lines of therapy, with disease eventually becoming refractory (nonresponsive 
to the most recent therapy or progression within 60 days of discontinuation from the 
most recent therapy), and most patients ultimately die of myeloma-related complications 
(Richardson et al, 2007; Kumar et al, 2004). 
The primary goal of treatment for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma is to achieve 
the longest progression-free survival (PFS) and subsequently overall survival (OS).  In 
this setting, the depth of response is an important prognostic factor and associated with 
OS (Chanan-Khan and Giralt, 2010; Richardson et al, 2007).  Additional goals are to 
control disease activity to prevent or delay progression and its associated complications 
(such as bone fractures, renal insufficiency, and infections), to maintain an acceptable 
health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and to provide relief of pain and other

disease-related symptoms.  These goals must be achieved by using regimens with an 
acceptable tolerability. 
3.2.2 
Amgen Investigational Product Background:  Kyprolis 
3.2.2.1 
Kyprolis Background (Non-clinical) 
Kyprolis is a tetrapeptide epoxyketone based inhibitor of the 20S proteasome.  Kyprolis, 
showed less off target activity when measured against a broad panel of proteases 
including metallo-, aspartyl-, and serine proteases compared to bortezomib; bortezomib 
showed off target inhibitory activity in the nanomolar range against several serine 
proteases (Arastu-Kapur et al, 2009).  This selectivity may be responsible for the 
reductions in myelosuppression and neuropathy observed in studies comparing Kyprolis 
with bortezomib. 
Incubation of hematologic tumor cell lines with Kyprolis for as little as 1 hour led to rapid 
inhibition of proteasome activity followed by accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins 
and induction of apoptotic cell death (Suzuki et al, 2011; Kuhn et al, 2007). 
Kyprolis has also been administered to rats and monkeys for 6 and 9 months, 
respectively (twice weekly for 3 weeks on a 28-day cycle).  Kyprolis was well tolerated at 
doses resulting in more than 80% proteasome inhibition, with no behavioral or 
histological evidence of peripheral neuropathy (PN) and no neutropenia 
(Carfilzomib Investigator's Brochure). 
3.2.2.2 
Kyprolis Background (Clinical) 
Kyprolis entered clinical studies in September 2005.  On 20 July 2012, Kyprolis 
(Carfilzomib for Injection) was approved under the United States Food and Drug 
Administration’s (US FDA) accelerated approval program for the treatment of patients 
with multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 prior therapies, including bortezomib 
and an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD).  This initial approval was based upon overall 
response rate (ORR) in a heavily pretreated population studied in the phase 2 
PX-171-003-A1 study.  Subsequent full approval in the US and globally were based on 
2 large open-label phase 3 trials:  PX 171-009 ASPIRE and 2011-003 ENDEAVOR. 
Following these approvals, Kyprolis is indicated for use in combination with either 
lenalidomide (Revlimid) and dexamethasone (20/27 mg/m2 K) or dexamethasone alone 
(20/56 mg/m2 K) for the treatment of RRMM following 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.  In 
various countries, Kyprolis is also approved as a single agent (20/27 mg/m2 or 
20/56 mg/m2) for subjects with RRMM who have received at least 1 prior treatment

regimen.  The exact indication wording varies by region.  Additional data on clinical 
background is summarized in the Investigator’s Brochure. 
As of 19 January 2017, an estimated 3504 subjects (2911 subject-years) have been 
exposed to Kyprolis in clinical trials conducted by Amgen since the beginning of the 
development program.  An estimated 51 275 patients (19 760 patient-years) have been 
cumulatively exposed to the product in the marketed setting. 
A detailed description of the chemistry, pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of Kyprolis is 
provided in the Investigator’s Brochure.

5. 
Study Design 
5.1 
Overall Design 
This open-label, multicenter, non-comparative phase 4 study of Kyprolis is part of 
Amgen’s post-marketing requirement to the Indian Regulatory Authority.  The study 
population consists of approximately 100 subjects with RRMM and for whom Kyprolis is 
indicated in accordance with the approved prescribing information in India.  The sample 
size of 100 is as directed by the regulatory authority. 
The assignment of subjects to protocol treatment will be decided by the investigator 
based on clinical evaluation and before the decision to include the subject in this study. 
A subject will be considered on study treatment while receiving Kyprolis.  If Kyprolis is 
discontinued, lenalidomide and/or dexamethasone may be continued outside of the 
study.  No crossover between the treatments will be allowed. 
Safety assessments include the collection of adverse events and serious adverse events 
until the last follow-up visit.  In addition, laboratory tests will be performed according to 
the assessment schedule outlined in Table 2-1. 
All subjects will be evaluated by the investigator for multiple myeloma disease response 
based on local standard procedures. 
Following disease progression or discontinuation of study treatment, all subjects will 
have 1 final assessment that occurs 30 days (+ 3 days) after the last dose of Kyprolis. 
The overall study design is described by a study schema in Section 2.1.  The endpoints 
are defined in Section 4.1. 
5.2 
Number of Subjects 
Approximately 100 subjects with previously treated RRMM will be enrolled.  
Subjects in this clinical investigation shall be referred to as “subjects”.  For the sample 
size justification, see Section 10.1. 
5.2.1 
Replacement of Subjects 
Subjects who are withdrawn or removed from treatment or the study will not be replaced.

5.2.2 
Number of Sites 
Approximately 15 investigative sites in India will be included in the study.  Sites that do 
not enroll subjects within 5 months of site initiation may be closed. 
5.3 
End of Study 
5.3.1 
End of Study Definition 
Primary Completion:  The primary completion date is defined as the date when the last 
subject is assessed or receives an intervention for the final collection of data for the 
primary endpoint(s), for the purposes of conducting the primary analysis, whether the 
study concluded as planned in the protocol or was terminated early.  Primary completion 
is planned to occur when the last subject has had the opportunity to receive the study 
treatment for at least 9 months. 
The primary completion date is the date when data for the primary endpoint are last 
collected for the purposes of conducting the primary analysis. 
If the study concludes prior to the primary completion date originally planned in the 
protocol (ie, early termination of the study), then the primary completion will be the date 
when the last subject is assessed or receives an intervention for evaluation in the study 
(ie, last subject last visit). 
End of Study:  The end of study date is defined as the date when the last subject 
across all sites is assessed or receives an intervention for evaluation in the study (ie, last 
subject last visit).  This study will conclude when all subjects discontinue study treatment 
or have received study treatment for a maximum of 3 years, whichever occurs first. 
5.3.2 
Study Duration for Subjects 
Total study duration for an individual subject may vary by the assigned study treatment. 
For subjects receiving KRd the total study duration is estimated to be approximately 
20 months.  For subjects receiving Kd, the total study duration is estimated to be 
approximately 23 months. 
5.4 
Justification for Investigational Product Dose 
The study is being conducted as a post authorization safety study as mandated by the 
Indian Regulatory Authority.  The doses chosen are the approved doses in the local 
Kyprolis Prescribing Information.

CONFIDENTIAL   
 
The subject or the subject’s legally acceptable representative must personally sign and 
date the IRB/IEC and Amgen-approved informed consent before commencement of 
study-specific procedures. 
A subject is considered enrolled when the investigator decides that the subject has met 
all eligibility criteria.  The investigator is to document this decision and date, in the 
subject’s medical record and in/on the enrollment electronic case report form (eCRF). 
Each subject who enters into the screening period for the study (up to 28 days before 
enrollment) receives a unique subject identification number before any study-related 
activities/procedures are performed.  The subject identification number will be assigned 
by Interactive Voice/Web Response System (IxRS).  This number will be used to identify 
the subject throughout the clinical study and must be used on all study documentation 
related to that subject. 
The subject identification number must remain constant throughout the entire clinical 
study; it must not be changed after initial assignment, including if a subject is 
rescreened. 
6.4 
Screen Failures 
Screen failures are defined as subjects who consent to participate in the clinical study 
but are not subsequently enrolled in the study.  A minimal set of screen failure 
information will be collected that includes demography, screen failure details, eligibility 
criteria, and any serious adverse events. 
Individuals who do not meet the criteria for participation in this study (screen failure) may 
be rescreened 1 time.

Prior and Concomitant Treatment 
7.8.1 
Prior Treatment 
Prior therapies that were being taken/used from 30 days prior to enrollment through 
signing the informed consent will be collected.  All prior medications that continue after 
the informed consent are to be recorded as concomitant medication. 
For prior therapies being taken for multiple myeloma (eg, chemotherapy), collect therapy 
name, dose, outcome, start date and stop date.  For all other prior therapies, collect 
therapy name, indication, dose, unit, frequency, route, start date and stop date and enter 
in the subject’s eCRF. 
Prior lines of multiple myeloma treatment are defined as a planned course of therapy.  
Therefore, during initial treatment, the induction ± autologous stem cell 
transplant ± consolidation and maintenance would be considered 1 line of therapy (see 
Appendix 9 for additional guidance on lines of therapy). 
7.8.2 
Concomitant Treatment 
A concomitant medication is defined as any prescription or over-the-counter preparation 
including vitamins and supplements.  Throughout the study, investigators may prescribe 
any concomitant medications or treatments deemed necessary to provide adequate 
supportive care except for those listed in Section 7.1.8. 
All administered concomitant medicines and therapies are to be collected from informed 
consent through 30 days following the last dose of Kyprolis. 
For concomitant therapies being taken, collect therapy name, indication, dose, unit, 
frequency, route, start date, stop date, and enter in the subject’s eCRF. 
Concomitant medications used prophylactically should be described as such in the 
designated eCRF.  Blood and blood products are not considered concomitant 
medications and must be recorded on the appropriate eCRF.

product, device, and/or other protocol-required therapies, protocol procedures, or the 
study as a whole at any time prior to study completion for the reasons listed in 
Sections 8.1, 8.2.1, and 8.2.2. 
8.1 
Discontinuation of Study Treatment 
Subjects (or a legally acceptable representative) can decline to continue receiving 
investigational product and/or other protocol-required therapies or procedures at any 
time during the study.  If this occurs, the investigator is to discuss with the subject the 
appropriate processes for discontinuation from investigational product including 
completion of an end of study visit 30 days after the last dose of investigational product. 
Subjects may be eligible for continued treatment with Amgen investigational product(s) 
by a separate protocol or as provided for by the local country’s regulatory mechanism, 
based on parameters consistent with Appendix 3. 
Reasons for removal from protocol-required investigational product(s) or procedural 
assessments include any of the following: 
 
Decision by Sponsor 
 
Lost to follow-up 
 
Death 
 
Ineligibility determined 
 
Protocol deviation 
 
Non-compliance  
 
Adverse event 
 
Subject request 
 
Disease progression 
 
Pregnancy and lactation 
The primary reason for treatment discontinuation will be documented in the eCRF. 
8.2 
Discontinuation From the Study 
Withdrawal of consent for a study means that the subject does not wish to receive 
further protocol-required therapies or procedures, and the subject does not wish to or is 
unable to continue further study participation.  Subject data up to withdrawal of consent 
will be included in the analysis of the study.  The investigator is to discuss with the

subject appropriate procedures for withdrawal from the study, and must document the 
subject’s decision to withdraw in the subject’s medical records. 
If a subject withdraws from the study, he/she may request destruction of any samples 
taken and not tested, and the investigator must notify Amgen accordingly (see 
Appendix 6 for further details).  Refer to the Schedule of Activities for data to be 
collected at the time of study discontinuation and follow-up and for any further 
evaluations that need to be completed. 
8.2.1 
Reasons for Removal From Washout, Run-in or Invasive Procedures 
Not applicable.

Withdrawal of consent from study 
 
Death 
 
Lost to follow-up 
8.3 
Lost to Follow-up 
A subject will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site. 
The following actions must be taken if a subject fails to return to the clinic for a required 
study visit: 
 
The site must attempt to contact the subject and reschedule the missed visit as soon 
as possible and counsel the subject on the importance of maintaining the assigned 
visit schedule and ascertain whether or not the subject wishes to and/or is able to 
continue in the study. 
 
In cases in which the subject is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or 
designee must make every effort to regain contact with the subject (where possible, 
3 telephone calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the subject’s last known 
mailing address or local equivalent methods).  These contact attempts are to be 
documented in the subject’s medical record. 
 
If the subject continues to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study with a primary reason of lost to follow-up.

As protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed if an enrolled subject is subsequently 
determined to be ineligible for the study, this must be discussed with the sponsor 
immediately upon occurrence or awareness to determine if the subject is to continue or 
discontinue study treatment. 
Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the Schedule 
of Activities, is essential and required for study conduct. 
9.1 
General Study Periods 
9.1.1 
Screening, Enrollment and/or Randomization 
Informed consent must be obtained before starting any screening procedure.  After the 
subject has signed the ICF, the site will register the subject in the IxRS and screen the 
subject in order to assess eligibility for participation.  The screening window is up to 
28 days. 
All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
subjects meet all eligibility criteria.  The investigator will maintain a screening log to 
record details of all subjects screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for 
screening failure, as applicable. 
If a subject has not met all eligibility criteria at the end of the screening period, the 
subject will be registered as a screen fail.  Screen fail subjects may be eligible for 
re-screening 1 time. 
Rescreen subjects must first be registered as screen failures in IxRS and subsequently 
registered as rescreens.  Once the subject is registered as rescreened, a new 28 day 
screening window will begin.  Subjects will retain the same subject identification number 
assigned at the original screening.  If the rescreening period begins more than 30 days 
after the original signing of the ICF, all screening procedures, including informed 
consent, must be repeated. 
9.1.2 
Treatment Period 
Visits will occur per the Schedule of Activities (Table 2-1).  On-study visits may be 
completed within 2 days.  The date of the first dose of investigational product is defined 
as cycle 1 day 1.  All subsequent doses and study visits will be scheduled based on the 
day 1 date.  Administration of protocol-required therapies is to be administered last 
during each visit that it is required.

9.1.3 
End of Study 
Upon permanent discontinuation from the study treatment for any reason, the end of 
study visit will be performed approximately 30 (+ 3) days after the last dose of 
investigational product. 
9.2 
Description of General Study Assessments and Procedures 
The sections below provide a description of the individual study procedures for required 
time points. 
9.2.1 
General Assessments  
9.2.1.1 
Informed Consent 
All subjects or their legally authorized representative must sign and personally date the 
IRB/IEC approved informed consent before any study-specific procedures are 
performed.  Any procedures done as part of routine standard of care prior to signing the 
ICF may be used as long as they fall within the windows specified in the Schedule of 
Activities (Table 2-1). 
9.2.1.2 
Demographics 
Demographic data collection including sex, age, race, and ethnicity will be collected in 
order to study their possible association with subject safety and treatment effectiveness.  
9.2.1.3 
Medical History 
The investigator or designee will collect a complete medical and surgical history that 
started within 30 days prior to informed consent.  Medical history will include information 
on the subject’s concurrent medical conditions.  Record all findings on the medical 
history eCRF. 
In addition to the medical history above, multiple myeloma history must date back to the 
original diagnosis.  For subjects who are being referred to the research site, critical 
referral information will constitute multiple myeloma information from source notes. 
9.2.1.4 
Physical Examination 
Physical examination will be performed as per standard of care.  A complete physical 
examination is to include examination of cardiovascular and respiratory systems, 
abdominal examination, and general neurologic examination. 
Clinically significant abnormal physical examination findings identified prior to the signing 
of informed consent should be reported as part of medical history, not as adverse 
events.  Physical examination findings should be recorded on the appropriate eCRF (eg, 
medical history, event).

9.2.1.5 
Physical Measurements 
Weight (in kilograms) and height (in centimeters) will be measured (height will be 
measured only at the screening physical examination).  Body surface area will be 
determined per institutional guidelines/standards. 
9.2.1.6 
Performance Status 
The subject’s performance status will be assessed using the ECOG performance scale 
(see Appendix 10) at intervals identified in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 2-1).  
9.2.2 
Efficacy Assessments 
Disease status will be evaluated by the investigator using IMWG-URC (see 
Appendix 11) starting from screening until EOT and documented at intervals specified in 
the Schedule of Activities (Table 2-1).  Patients with confirmed sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR 
will be considered to have achieved an overall response.

Event Information 
9.2.3.1.1.1 
Adverse Events 
The adverse event grading scale to be used for this study will be the CTCAE and is 
described in Appendix 4. 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that all adverse events observed by the 
investigator or reported by the subject that occur after first dose of investigational 
product(s) through the end of study visit are reported using the Event eCRF. 
9.2.3.1.1.2 
Serious Adverse Events 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that all serious adverse events observed by 
the investigator or reported by the subject that occur after signing of the informed 
consent through 30 days after the last dose of investigational product are reported using 
the Event eCRF. 
All serious adverse events will be collected, recorded and reported to the sponsor or 
designee within 24 hours, as indicated in Appendix 4.  The investigator will submit any 
updated serious adverse event data to the sponsor within 24 hours of it being available.

The criteria for grade 4 in the CTCAE grading scale differs from the regulatory criteria for 
serious adverse events.  It is left to the investigator’s judgment to report these grade 4 
abnormalities as serious adverse events. 
9.2.3.1.1.3 
Serious Adverse Events After the Protocol-required Reporting 
Period 
There is no requirement to monitor study subjects for serious adverse events following 
the protocol-required reporting period or after end of study.  However, these serious 
adverse events can be reported to Amgen.  Per local requirements in some countries, 
investigators are required to report serious adverse events that they become aware of 
after end of study.  If serious adverse events are reported, the investigator is to report 
them to Amgen within 24 hours following the investigator’s knowledge of the event. 
Serious adverse events reported outside of the protocol-required reporting period will be 
captured within the safety database as clinical trial cases and handled accordingly based 
on relationship to investigational product.  
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of adverse events and 
serious adverse events and the procedures for completing and transmitting serious 
adverse event reports are provided in Appendix 4. 
9.2.3.1.1.4 
Reporting a Safety Endpoint as a Study Endpoint 
Not applicable. 
9.2.3.1.1.5 
Serious Adverse Events That Are Not to be Reported by the Sponsor 
to Regulatory Agencies in an Expedited Manner 
Not applicable. 
9.2.3.1.2 
Method of Detecting Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting adverse events and/or serious 
adverse events.  Open-ended and non-leading verbal questioning of the subject is the 
preferred method to inquire about adverse event occurrence. 
9.2.3.1.3 
Follow-up of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
After the initial adverse event/serious adverse event report, the investigator is required to 
proactively follow each subject at subsequent visits/contacts.  All adverse events and 
serious adverse events will be followed until resolution, stabilization, until the event is 
otherwise explained, or the subject is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 8.3).  
Further information on follow-up procedures is given in Appendix 4.

All new information for previously reported serious adverse events must be sent to 
Amgen within 24 hours following knowledge of the new information.  If specifically 
requested, the investigator may need to provide additional follow-up information, such as 
discharge summaries, medical records, or extracts from the medical records.  
Information provided about the serious adverse event must be consistent with that 
recorded on the Event eCRF. 
9.2.3.1.4 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for Serious Adverse Events 
If subject is permanently withdrawn from protocol-required therapies because of a 
serious adverse event, this information must be submitted to Amgen. 
Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of serious adverse events is 
essential so that legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of 
subjects and the safety of a study treatment under clinical investigation are met.  
The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study treatment under clinical 
investigation.  The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, IRBs/IECs, and investigators. 
Individual safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSAR) according to local regulatory requirements and sponsor policy and 
forwarded to investigators as necessary. 
An investigator who receives an individual safety report describing a serious adverse 
event or other specific safety information (eg, summary or listing of serious adverse 
events) from the sponsor will file it along with the Investigator’s Brochure and will notify 
the IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements. 
9.2.3.1.5 
Pregnancy and Lactation 
Details of all pregnancies and/or lactation in female subjects and, if indicated, female 
partners of male subjects will be collected after the start of study treatment and until 
30 days following the last dose of investigational product. 
If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator is to inform Amgen within 24 hours of learning 
of the pregnancy and/or lactation and is to follow the procedures outlined in Appendix 5.  
Amgen Global Patient Safety will follow-up with the investigator regarding additional 
information that may be requested.

Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered serious adverse events. 
Further details regarding pregnancy and lactation are provided in Appendix 5. 
9.2.3.2 
Vital Signs 
The following measurements must be performed:  systolic/diastolic blood pressure, heart 
rate, respiratory rate, and temperature.  Vital sign measurements are performed prior to 
administration of study drug(s) in all cycles. 
Subjects must be in a rested and calm state for at least 5 minutes before blood pressure 
assessments are conducted.  The position selected for a subject should be the same 
that is used throughout the study and documented in the medical record and on the vital 
sign eCRF.  Take at least 2 blood pressure measurements spaced 1 to 2 minutes apart 
and additional measurements if the first 2 are quite different (Appendix 8).  Record the 
average blood pressure on the vital sign eCRF. 
The temperature location selected for a subject should be the same that is used 
throughout the study and documented on the vital signs eCRF. 
9.2.3.3 
Electrocardiograms (ECGs) 
Subject must be in supine position in a rested and calm state for at least 5 minutes 
before ECG assessment is conducted.  If the subject is unable to be in the supine 
position, the subject should be in most recumbent position as possible.  The ECG must 
include the following measurements:  heart rate, QRS, QT, QTc, and PR intervals. 
The primary investigator will review all ECGs.  Once signed, the original ECG tracing will 
be retained with the subject’s source documents.  At the request of the sponsor, a copy 
of the original ECG will be made available to Amgen. 
Electrocardiograms will be required in all subjects at screening and may be repeated 
more often, if clinically indicated. 
9.2.3.4 
Other Safety 
9.2.3.4.1 
Echocardiogram 
All subjects will have a baseline transthoracic ECHO (TTE) or MUGA during 
screening, including assessments of systolic and diastolic left ventricular 
function and right ventricular function.  Echocardiograms are to be repeated every 
6 months ( 2 weeks), at the end of study, and/or if clinically indicated.  An ECHO

must be performed within 72 hours of the onset of a suspected cardiac failure 
event. 
9.2.3.4.2 
Hepatitis B 
All hepatitis testing will be performed locally.  All subjects will be tested at 
screening for HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc, unless performed within 6 months 
of screening and there was no change in the subject’s risk factors within these 
6 months. 
Subjects with no history of HBV infection that are negative for hepatitis serologies 
at screening should be followed as clinically indicated. 
Subjects with positive testing or who have a prior history of HBV infection should 
have consultation with a specialist in HBV and have HBV DNA testing and 
monitoring of HBV DNA every 12 weeks  2 weeks through end of study visit.  
Subjects that have received hepatitis B vaccination with only anti-HBs positivity 
and no clinical signs of hepatitis do not require HBV DNA monitoring. 
Any subject who becomes HBV DNA positive or develops reactivation of HBV will 
have study treatment interrupted and received appropriate anti-viral treatment as 
per a specialist in hepatitis B.  Resumption of clinical study treatment may be 
considered in subjects whose HBV reactivation is controlled and where the 
benefits of clinical study treatment outweigh the risks.  After cessation of study 
treatment for any reason, any ongoing monitoring and anti-viral treatment should 
be under the guidance of a specialist in HBV. 
9.2.4 
Clinical Laboratory Assessments 
Refer to Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and to the 
Schedule of Activities for the timing and frequency.  
The investigator is responsible for reviewing laboratory test results and recording any 
clinically relevant changes occurring during the study in the Event eCRF.  The 
investigator must determine whether an abnormal value in an individual study subject 
represents a clinically significant change from the subject’s baseline values.  In general, 
abnormal laboratory findings without clinical significance (based on the investigator's 
judgment) are not to be recorded as adverse events.  However, laboratory value 
changes that require treatment or adjustment in current therapy are considered adverse 
events.  Where applicable, clinical sequelae (not the laboratory abnormality) are to be 
recorded as the adverse event.

9.2.4.1 
Pregnancy Testing 
A high sensitive (urine or serum) pregnancy test should be completed at screening 
(within 10 to 14 days of initiation of investigational product) and a urine pregnancy test 
within 24 hours prior to initiation of investigational product for females of childbearing 
potential.   
Note:  Females who have undergone a bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion should have 
pregnancy testing per protocol requirements.  (If a female subject, or the partner of a 
male subject, becomes pregnant it must be reported on the Pregnancy Notification 
Worksheet, see Figure 12-2).  Refer to Appendix 5 for contraceptive requirements and 
Table 12-2 for lenalidomide-specific contraception requirements.  
Additional pregnancy testing should be performed within 24 hours prior to day 1 of each 
subsequent cycle and 30 days after the last dose of protocol-required therapies. 
Additional on-treatment pregnancy testing may be performed at the investigator’s 
discretion or as required per local laws and regulations.

Statistical Considerations 
10.1 
Sample Size Determination 
Approximately 100 subjects with previously treated RRMM will be enrolled as directed by 
the Indian Regulatory Authority. 
A total of 100 subjects is large enough, with 95% confidence, to rule out an adverse 
event incidence rate greater than 3.6% if none is observed.

Secondary 
Secondary efficacy endpoints include PFS, ORR, CBR, TTR, and DOR. 
PFS is defined as the time from first dose of the study treatment until the 
earliest date of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever 
is the earliest.  Subjects alive who did not have progression will be 
censored at last date of tumor assessment.  If the last disease assessment 
date is after the date that triggers the analysis, the subject will be censored 
at the analysis trigger date.  PFS will be summarized descriptively using 
with the KM method.  
ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with either best overall 
response of sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR.  CBR is defined as the proportion of 
subjects with either best overall response of sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, or MR.  
The point estimates of ORR and CBR will be summarized along with exact 
binomial 95% confidence intervals.  
TTR and DOR are calculated only for the responders.  TTR is defined as 
the time from first dose of study treatment to the earliest date a response 
of PR or better is first achieved and subsequently confirmed.  DOR is 
defined as the time from initial response (sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR) to the 
date of disease progression.  A subject who did not have progression of 
disease, or death will be censored at last tumor assessment date.  If the 
last disease assessment date is after the date that triggers the analysis, 
the subject will be censored at the analysis trigger date.  TTR will be 
summarized descriptively.  KM method will be used to analyze DOR.

Statistical Analysis Methods 
Primary 
The subject incidence, severity, and outcome of treatment emergent adverse 
events using NCI CTCAE v. 4.03 including clinical significant laboratory 
parameter changes over time.  
Each reported adverse event term will be mapped to a Preferred Term and a 
System Organ Class (SOC) using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 
Activities (MedDRA).  Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as 
adverse events that start on or after the first day of study treatment and within 
30 days of the last day of study treatment. 
Treatment-emergent adverse events will be summarized based on the 
number (%) of subjects experiencing events by MedDRA SOC and preferred 
term.  The denominator for the percentage will be based on the number of 
subjects in the Safety population.  
A subject reporting the same treatment-emergent adverse event more than 
once will be counted only once when calculating 1) within a given SOC, and 
2) within a given SOC and preferred term combination.  For such cases, the 
maximum NCI; US - CTCAE 4.03 toxicity grade and strongest causal 
relationship to study treatment for the event will be used in the incidence 
calculations.  Treatment-emergent adverse events will also be summarized by 
severity, seriousness, and by relationship to study treatment. 
 
10.3.2.3.2 
Adverse Events 
Subject incidence of all treatment-emergent adverse events will be tabulated by system 
organ class, preferred term, and severity grade.  Tables of fatal adverse events, serious 
adverse events, adverse events leading to withdrawal from investigational product or 
other protocol required therapies, and significant treatment-emergent adverse events will 
also be provided.

Laboratory Test Results 
The analyses of safety laboratory endpoints will include summary statistics over time by 
treatment group.  Changes will be calculated relative to the baseline visit.  Shifts in

statistical analyses of ECG measurements are not planned, and these data would not be 
expected to be useful for meta-analysis with data from other trials. 
Summaries over time and/or changes from baseline over time will be provided for all 
ECG parameters.

Exposure to Investigational Product 
Descriptive statistics will be produced to describe the exposure to Kyprolis.  The number 
of cycles will be summarized with an additional breakdown of the number of cycles 
completed, discontinued, and re-started.  In addition, the duration of therapy, the 
cumulative dose, and the percent of intended dose will be summarized by cycle and 
overall.  The number and percent of subjects with dose modifications (eg, dose changes 
and dose interruptions) and reason for modification will be summarized. 
Descriptive statistics will be produced to describe the exposure to non-Amgen 
non-investigational products (dexamethasone and/or lenalidomide).  The cumulative 
dose, number of cycles, duration of usage, number and percentage of subjects with 
dose modifications, reasons for modification will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics.

 
Consensus ethical principles derived from international guidelines including the 
Declaration of Helsinki and Council for International Organizations of Medical 
Sciences (CIOMS) International Ethical Guidelines 
 
Applicable International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice 
(GCP) Guidelines 
 
Applicable laws and regulations 
The protocol, protocol amendments, informed consent form (ICF), Investigator’s 
Brochure, and other relevant documents (eg, subject recruitment advertisements) must 
be submitted to an Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC) 
by the investigator and reviewed and approved by the IRB/IEC.  A copy of written 
approval for study protocol issued by Health Authority and a copy of the written approval 
of the protocol and ICF issued by the IRB/IEC must be received from the investigator, by 
Amgen before recruitment of subjects into the study and shipment of Amgen 
investigational product. 
Amgen may amend the protocol at any time.  The investigator must submit and, where 
necessary, obtain approval from the IRB/IEC for all subsequent protocol amendments 
and changes to the informed consent document.  The investigator must send a copy of 
the approval letter from the IRB/IEC and amended protocol Investigator’s Signature 
page to Amgen prior to implementation of the protocol amendment at their site. 
The investigator will be responsible for the following: 
 
Providing written summaries of the status of the study to the IRB/IEC annually or 
more frequently in accordance with the requirements, policies, and procedures 
established by the IRB/IEC 
 
Obtaining annual IRB/IEC approval/renewal throughout the duration of the study.

 
Notifying the IRB/IEC of serious adverse events occurring at the site, deviations from 
the protocol or other adverse event reports received from Amgen, in accordance with 
local procedures 
 
Overall conduct of the study at the site and adherence to requirements of Title 21 of 
the US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), ICH guidelines, the IRB/IEC, and all 
other applicable local regulations 
Informed Consent Process 
An initial sample ICF is provided for the investigator to prepare the informed consent 
document to be used at his or her site.  Updates to the sample ICF are to be 
communicated formally in writing from the Amgen Trial Manager to the investigator.  The 
written ICF is to be prepared in the language(s) of the potential patient population. 
The investigator or his/her delegated representative will explain to the subject, or his/her 
legally authorized representative, the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential 
hazards of the study before any protocol-specific screening procedures or any 
investigational product(s) is/are administered, and answer all questions regarding the 
study.   
Subjects must be informed that their participation is voluntary.  Subjects or their legally 
authorized representative defined as an individual or other body authorized under 
applicable law to consent, on behalf of a prospective subject, to the subject’s 
participation in the clinical study will then be required to sign a statement of informed 
consent that meets the requirements of 21 CFR 50, local regulations, ICH guidelines, 
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements, where 
applicable, and the IRB/IEC or study site.  
The medical record must include a statement that written informed consent was obtained 
before the subject was enrolled in the study and the date the written consent was 
obtained.  The authorized person obtaining the informed consent must also sign the ICF. 
The investigator is also responsible for asking the subject if the subject has a primary 
care physician and if the subject agrees to have his/her primary care physician informed 
of the subject’s participation in the clinical study unless it is a local requirement.  The 
investigator shall then inform the primary care physician.  If the subject agrees to such 
notification, the investigator is to inform the subject’s primary care physician of the 
subject’s participation in the clinical study.  If the subject does not have a primary care 
physician and the investigator will be acting in that capacity, the investigator is to 
document such in the subject’s medical record.

CONFIDENTIAL   
 
The acquisition of informed consent and the subject’s agreement or refusal of his/her 
notification of the primary care physician is to be documented in the subject’s medical 
records, and the ICF is to be signed and personally dated by the subject or a legally 
acceptable representative and by the person who conducted the informed consent 
discussion.  Subject withdrawal of consent or discontinuation from study treatment 
and/or procedures must also be documented in the subject’s medical records; refer to 
Section 8. 
Subjects must be re-consented to the most current version of the ICF(s) during their 
participation in the study.  
The original signed ICF is to be retained in accordance with institutional policy, and a 
copy of the ICF(s) must be provided to the subject or the subject’s legally authorized 
representative.  
If a potential subject is illiterate or visually impaired and does not have a legally 
acceptable representative, the investigator must provide an impartial witness to read the 
ICF to the subject and must allow for questions.  Thereafter, both the subject and the 
witness must sign the ICF to attest that informed consent was freely given and 
understood.  (Refer to ICH GCP guideline, Section 4.8.9.) 
A subject who is rescreened is not required to sign another ICF if the rescreening occurs 
within 30 days from the previous ICF signature date. 
Data Protection/Subject Confidentiality 
The investigator must ensure that the subject’s confidentiality is maintained for 
documents submitted to Amgen. 
Subject will be assigned a unique identifier by the sponsor.  Any subject records or 
datasets that are transferred to the sponsor will contain the identifier only; subject names 
or any information which would make the subject identifiable will not be transferred.  
On the electronic case report form (eCRF) demographics page, in addition to the unique 
subject identification number, include the age at time of enrollment. 
For Serious Adverse Events reported to Amgen, subjects are to be identified by their 
unique subject identification number, initials (for faxed reports, in accordance with local 
laws and regulations), and age (in accordance with local laws and regulations). 
Documents that are not submitted to Amgen (eg, signed ICFs) are to be kept in 
confidence by the investigator, except as described below.

In compliance with ICH GCP Guidelines, it is required that the investigator and institution 
permit authorized representatives of the company, of the regulatory agency(s), and the 
IRB/IEC direct access to review the subject’s original medical records for verification of 
study-related procedures and data.  Direct access includes examining, analyzing, 
verifying, and reproducing any records and reports that are important to the evaluation of 
the study.   
The investigator is obligated to inform and obtain the consent of the subject to permit 
such individuals to have access to his/her study-related records, including personal 
information. 
Publication Policy 
To coordinate dissemination of data from this study, the investigator will obtain input and 
assistance from Amgen staff as appropriate. 
Authorship of any publications resulting from this study will be determined on the basis 
of the Uniform Requirement for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals 
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE 2013) Recommendations for 
the Conduct of Reporting, Editing, and Publications of Scholarly Work in Medical 
Journals, which states: 
Authorship credit is to be based on:  (1) substantial contributions to conception and 
design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; (2) drafting the article 
or revising it critically for important intellectual content; (3) final approval of the version to 
be published; and (4) agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in 
ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are 
appropriately investigated and resolved.  Authors need to meet conditions 1, 2, 3, and 4. 
When a large, multicenter group has conducted the work, the group is to identify the 
individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript.  These individuals must 
fully meet the criteria for authorship defined above. 
Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group, 
alone, does not justify authorship. 
All persons designated as authors must qualify for authorship, and all those who qualify 
are to be listed. 
Each author must have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility 
for appropriate portions of the content.

Appendix 4.  Safety Events:  Definitions and Procedures for Recording, 
Evaluating, Follow-up and Reporting 
Definition of Adverse Event 
Adverse Event Definition 
 
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject 
irrespective of a causal relationship with the study treatment.   
 
Note:  An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including 
an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of a treatment, combination product, medical device or procedure. 
 
Events Meeting the Adverse Event Definition 
 
Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or other 
safety assessments (eg, echocardiogram [ECG], radiological scans, vital signs 
measurements), including those that worsen from baseline, that are considered clinically 
significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the investigator (ie, not related to 
progression of underlying disease). 
 
Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an increase 
in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
 
New conditions detected or diagnosed after study treatment administration even though it 
may have been present before the start of the study. 
 
Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction. 
 
Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
treatment or a concomitant medication.  Overdose per se will not be reported as an 
adverse event/serious adverse event unless it is an intentional overdose taken with 
possible suicidal/self-harming intent.  Such overdoses are to be reported regardless of 
sequelae. 
 
For situations when an adverse event or serious adverse event is due to multiple myeloma 
report all known signs and symptoms.  Death due to disease progression in the absence of 
signs and symptoms should be reported as the primary tumor type (eg, metastatic 
pancreatic cancer).  Note:  The term “disease progression” should not be used to describe 
the disease related event or adverse event. 
 
“Lack of efficacy” or “failure of expected pharmacological action” per se will not be reported 
as an adverse event or serious adverse event.  Such instances will be captured in the 
efficacy assessments.  However, the signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting 
from lack of efficacy will be reported as adverse event or serious adverse event if they fulfill 
the definition of an adverse event or serious adverse event. 
 
Events NOT Meeting the Adverse Event Definition 
 
Medical or surgical procedure (eg, endoscopy, appendectomy):  the condition that leads to 
the procedure is the adverse event. 
 
Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
 
Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present or 
detected at the start of the study that do not worsen.

Definition of Serious Adverse Event 
A Serious Adverse Event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, meets 
at least 1 of the following serious criteria: 
Results in death (fatal) 
Immediately life-threatening 
The term “life-threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an event in which the 
subject was at risk of death at the time of the event.  It does not refer to an event, which 
hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe. 
Requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
In general, hospitalization signifies that the subject has been detained (usually involving at 
least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation and/or treatment 
that would not have been appropriate in the physician’s office or outpatient setting.  
Complications that occur during hospitalization are an adverse event.  If a complication 
prolongs hospitalization or fulfills any other serious criteria, the event is serious.  When in 
doubt as to whether “hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the adverse event is to be 
considered serious. 
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from 
baseline is not considered an adverse event. 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct normal 
life functions. 
This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, and 
accidental trauma (eg, sprained ankle) which may interfere with or prevent everyday life 
functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption. 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
Other medically important serious event 
Medical or scientific judgment is to be exercised in deciding whether serious adverse event 
reporting is appropriate in other situations such as important medical events that may not 
be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the 
subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the other outcomes 
listed in the above definition.  These events are typically to be considered serious. 
Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment in an 
emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or convulsions 
that do not result in hospitalization, or development of drug dependency or drug abuse.

Recording Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
Adverse Event and Serious Adverse Event Recording 
 
When an adverse event or serious adverse event occurs, it is the responsibility of the 
investigator to review all documentation (eg, hospital progress notes, laboratory, and 
diagnostics reports) related to the event. 
 
The investigator will then record all relevant adverse event/serious adverse event 
information in the Event electronic case report form (eCRF). 
 
Additionally, the investigator is required to report a fatal disease-related event on the 
Event eCRF. 
 
The investigator must assign the following adverse event attributes: 
 
Adverse event diagnosis or syndrome(s), if known (if not known, signs or symptoms); 
 
Dates of onset and resolution (if resolved); 
 
Severity (or toxicity defined below); 
 
Assessment of relatedness to investigational product, and 
 
Action taken. 
 
If the severity of an adverse event changes from the date of onset to the date of resolution, 
record as a single event with the worst severity on the Event eCRF. 
 
It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the subject’s medical 
records to Amgen in lieu of completion of the Event eCRF page. 
 
If specifically requested, the investigator may need to provide additional follow-up 
information, such as discharge summaries, medical records, or extracts from the medical 
records.  In this case, all subject identifiers, with the exception of the subject number, will 
be blinded on the copies of the medical records before submission to Amgen. 
 
The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information.  In such cases, the diagnosis (not the 
individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the adverse event/serious adverse 
event. 
Evaluating Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
Assessment of Severity 
The investigator will make an assessment of severity for each adverse event and serious 
adverse event reported during the study.  The assessment of severity will be based on: 
The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.03 which is 
available at the following location:  
http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/ctc.htm.

Assessment of Causality 
 
The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between investigational product, 
protocol-required therapies, and each occurrence of each adverse event/serious adverse 
event. 
 
Relatedness means that there are facts or reasons to support a relationship between 
investigational product and the event. 
 
The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 
 
Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other risk 
factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study treatment administration 
will be considered and investigated. 
 
The investigator will also consult the Investigator’s Brochure and/or Product Information, 
for marketed products, in his/her assessment. 
 
For each adverse event/serious adverse event, the investigator must document in the 
medical notes that he/she has reviewed the adverse event/serious adverse event and has 
provided an assessment of causality. 
 
There may be situations in which a serious adverse event has occurred and the 
investigator has minimal information to include in the initial report.  However, it is very 
important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for every event 
before the initial transmission of the serious adverse event data. 
 
The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up information 
and send a serious adverse event follow-up report with the updated causality assessment. 
 
The causality assessment is 1 of the criteria used when determining regulatory reporting 
requirements. 
 
Follow-up of Adverse Event and Serious Adverse Event 
 
The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by Amgen to 
elucidate the nature and/or causality of the adverse event or serious adverse event as fully 
as possible.  This may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, 
histopathological examinations, or consultation with other health care professionals. 
 
If a subject is permanently withdrawn from protocol-required therapies because of a 
serious adverse event, this information must be submitted to Amgen. 
 
If a subject dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-up period, 
the investigator will provide Amgen with a copy of any post-mortem findings including 
histopathology. 
 
New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed Event eCRF. 
 
The investigator will submit any updated serious adverse event data to Amgen within 
24 hours of receipt of the information.

Reporting of Serious Adverse Event 
Serious Adverse Event Reporting via Electronic Data Collection Tool 
 
The primary mechanism for reporting serious adverse event will be the EDC system via the 
Safety Report Form.  
 
If the EDC system is unavailable for more than 24 hours, then the site will report the 
information to Amgen using an electronic Serious Adverse Event (eSAE) Contingency 
Report Form (see Figure 12-1) within 24 hours of the investigator’s knowledge of the event. 
 
The site will enter the serious adverse event data into the electronic system as soon as it 
becomes available. 
 
After the study is completed at a given site, the EDC system will be taken off-line to 
prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data. 
 
If a site receives a report of a new serious adverse event from a study subject or receives 
updated data on a previously reported serious adverse event after the EDC has been 
taken off-line, then the site can report this information on the eSAE Contingency Report 
Form (see Figure 12-1).

Appendix 5.  Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy and Lactation 
Information 
Study-specific contraception requirements for male and female of childbearing potential 
are outlined in Section 6.2.  For subjects receiving Kyprolis in combination with 
lenalidomide plus dexamethasone (KRd) triplet therapy, see Table 12-2 for 
lenalidomide-specific contraceptive guidelines. 
Male and female subjects of childbearing potential must receive pregnancy prevention 
counseling and be advised of the risk to the fetus if they become pregnant or father a 
child during treatment, during treatment interruptions, and for: 
 
female subjects:  30 days after the last dose of Kyprolis 
 
male subjects:  90 days after the last dose of Kyprolis 
Kyprolis could decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.  The investigator 
should notify subjects of this risk when choosing the methods of birth control. 
Additional medications given during the study may alter the contraceptive requirements.  
These additional medications may require female subjects to use highly effective 
methods of contraception and for an increased length of time.  In addition, male subjects 
may also be required to use contraception.  The investigator must discuss these 
contraceptive changes with the subject.  For subjects receiving KRd triplet therapy, see 
Table 12-2 for lenalidomide-specific contraceptive guidelines. 
Definition of Females of Childbearing Potential 
A female is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal 
unless permanently sterile.  Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, 
bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. 
Females in the following categories are not considered female of childbearing potential: 
 
Premenopausal female with 1 of the following: 
 
Documented hysterectomy; 
 
Documented bilateral salpingectomy; or 
 
Documented bilateral oophorectomy.

Note:  Site personnel documentation from the following sources is acceptable:  
1) review of subject’s medical records; 2) subject’s medical examination; or 3) 
subject’s medical history interview. 
 
Premenarchal female 
 
Postmenopausal female 
 
A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an 
alternative medical cause.  A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the 
postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in 
women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy 
(HRT).  However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH 
measurement is insufficient. 
 
Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to 
use 1 of the non-hormonal highly effective contraception methods if they wish to 
continue their HRT during the study.  Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to 
allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment 
Contraception Methods for Female Subjects 
Highly Effective Contraceptive Methods 
Note:  Failure rate of < 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. 
 
Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception 
associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal) 
 
Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation 
(oral, injectable, implantable) 
 
Intrauterine device (IUD) 
 
Intrauterine hormonal-releasing system (IUS) 
 
Bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion 
 
Vasectomized partner (provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the female 
subject of childbearing potential and that the vasectomized partner has received 
medical assessment of the surgical success) 
 
Sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the 
entire period of risk associated with the study treatments; the reliability of sexual 
abstinence must be evaluated in relation to the duration of the trial and the preferred 
and usual lifestyle of the subject) 
Contraception Methods for Male Subjects 
 
Sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the 
entire period of risk associated with protocol-required therapies; the reliability of 
sexual abstinence must be evaluated in relation to the duration of the trial and the 
preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject)  
 
Use a condom during treatment and for an additional 90 days after the last dose of 
protocol-required therapies 
The female partner should consider using an acceptable method of effective 
contraception such as:  hormonal, IUD, IUS, female barrier method (diaphragm, cap,

sponge [a female condom is not an option because there is a risk of tearing when both 
partners use a condom]). 
Note:  If the male’s sole female partner is of non-childbearing potential or has had a 
bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion, he is not required to use additional forms of 
contraception during the study. 
Unacceptable Methods of Birth Control for Male and Female Subjects 
Birth control methods that are considered unacceptable in clinical trials include: 
 
Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) 
 
Withdrawal (coitus interruptus) 
 
Spermicides only 
 
Lactational amenorrhea method 
Collection of Pregnancy Information 
Female Subjects Who Become Pregnant 
 
Investigator will collect pregnancy information on any female subject who becomes 
pregnant while taking protocol-required therapies through 30 days after last dose of 
protocol-required therapies. 
 
Information will be recorded on the Pregnancy Notification Worksheet (see 
Figure 12-2).  The worksheet must be submitted to Amgen Global Patient Safety 
within 24 hours of learning of a subject’s pregnancy.  (Note:  Sites are not required to 
provide any information on the Pregnancy Notification Worksheet that violates the 
country or regions local privacy laws). 
 
After obtaining the female subject’s signed authorization for release of pregnancy 
and infant health information, the investigator will collect pregnancy and infant health 
information and complete the pregnancy questionnaire for any female subject who 
becomes pregnant while taking protocol-required therapies through 30 days after last 
dose of the study drug.  This information will be forwarded to Amgen Global Patient 
Safety.  Generally, infant follow-up will be conducted up to 12 months after the birth 
of the child (if applicable). 
 
Any termination of pregnancy will be reported to Amgen Global Patient Safety, 
regardless of fetal status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication for 
procedure.  
 
While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an adverse event or serious adverse 
event, any pregnancy complication or report of a congenital anomaly or 
developmental delay, fetal death, or suspected adverse reactions in the neonate will 
be reported as an adverse event or serious adverse event.  Note that an elective 
termination with no information on a fetal congenital malformation or maternal 
complication is generally not considered an adverse event, but still must be reported 
to Amgen as a pregnancy exposure case.

 
If the outcome of the pregnancy meets a criterion for immediate classification as a 
serious adverse event (eg, female subject experiences a spontaneous abortion, 
stillbirth, or neonatal death or there is a fetal or neonatal congenital anomaly) the 
investigator will report the event as a serious adverse event. 
 
Any serious adverse event occurring as a result of a post-study pregnancy which is 
considered reasonably related to the study treatment by the investigator, will be 
reported to Amgen Global Patient Safety as described in Appendix 4.  While the 
investigator is not obligated to actively seek this information in former study subjects, 
he or she may learn of a serious adverse event through spontaneous reporting.  
 
Any female subject who becomes pregnant while participating will discontinue study 
treatment (see Section 8.1 for details). 
Male Subjects With Partners Who Become Pregnant or Were Pregnant at the Time of 
Enrollment 
 
In the event a male subject fathers a child during treatment, and for an additional 
90 days after discontinuing protocol-required therapies, the information will be 
recorded on the Pregnancy Notification Worksheet.  The worksheet (see 
Figure 12-2) must be submitted to Amgen Global Patient Safety within 24 hours of 
the site’s awareness of the pregnancy.  (Note:  Sites are not required to provide any 
information on the Pregnancy Notification Worksheet that violates the country or 
regions local privacy laws.) 
 
The investigator will attempt to obtain a signed authorization for release of pregnancy 
and infant health information directly from the pregnant female partner to obtain 
additional pregnancy information. 
 
After obtaining the female partner’s signed authorization for release of pregnancy 
and infant health information, the investigator will collect pregnancy outcome and 
infant health information on the pregnant partner and her baby and complete the 
pregnancy questionnaires.  This information will be forwarded to Amgen Global 
Patient Safety. 
 
Generally, infant follow-up will be conducted up to 12 months after the birth of the 
child (if applicable).  
 
Any termination of the pregnancy will be reported to Amgen Global Patient Safety 
regardless of fetal status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication for 
procedure. 
Collection of Lactation Information 
 
Investigator will collect lactation information on any female subject who breastfeeds 
while taking protocol-required therapies through 30 days after last dose of 
protocol-required therapies. 
 
Information will be recorded on the Lactation Notification Worksheet (Figure 12-2) 
and submitted to Amgen Global Patient Safety within 24 hours of the investigator’s 
knowledge of event.

With the female subjects signed authorization for release of mother and infant health 
information, the investigator will collect mother and infant health information and 
complete the lactation questionnaire on any female subject who breastfeeds while 
taking protocol-required therapies through 30 days after last dose of 
protocol-required therapies after discontinuing protocol-required therapies. 
Table 12-2.  Lenalidomide:  Contraceptive Guidelines and Collection of Pregnancy 
and Lactation Information 
Risks Associated with Pregnancy 
(For the region specific use of lenalidomide, please refer to the regional label) 
Lenalidomide is structurally related to thalidomide.  Thalidomide is a known human teratogenic 
active substance that causes severe life-threatening birth defects.  An embryo fetal 
development study in animals indicates that lenalidomide produced malformations in the 
offspring of female monkeys who received the drug during pregnancy.  The teratogenic effect 
of lenalidomide in humans cannot be ruled out.  Therefore, a risk minimization plan to prevent 
pregnancy must be observed. 
Criteria for Females of Childbearing Potential (FCBP) 
This protocol defines a female of childbearing potential as a sexually mature woman who:  
1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or 2) has not been naturally 
postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing 
potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has had menses at any time in the preceding 
24 consecutive months). 
Counseling 
For a female of childbearing potential, lenalidomide is contraindicated unless all of the following 
are met (ie, all females of childbearing potential must be counseled concerning the following 
risks and requirements prior to the start of lenalidomide study therapy): 
 
She understands the potential teratogenic risk to the unborn child  
 
She understands the need for effective contraception, without interruption, 4 weeks before 
starting study treatment, throughout the entire duration of study treatment, dose 
interruption, and 28 days after the end of study treatment 
 
She should be capable of complying with effective contraceptive measures  
 
She is informed and understands the potential consequences of pregnancy and the need 
to notify her study doctor immediately if there is a risk of pregnancy

Counseling (Continued) 
 
She understands the need to commence the study treatment as soon as study drug is 
dispensed following a negative pregnancy test  
 
She understands the need and accepts to undergo pregnancy testing based on the 
frequency outlined in this protocol 
 
She acknowledges that she understands the hazards and necessary precautions 
associated with the use of lenalidomide 
The investigator must ensure that for females of childbearing potential: 
 
Complies with the conditions for pregnancy risk minimization, including confirmation that 
she has an adequate level of understanding  
 
Acknowledge the aforementioned requirements 
For a female NOT of childbearing potential, lenalidomide is contraindicated unless all of the 
following are met (ie, all females NOT of childbearing potential must be counseled concerning 
the following risks and requirements prior to the start of lenalidomide study therapy): 
 
She acknowledges that she understands the hazards and necessary precautions 
associated with the use of lenalidomide 
 
Traces of lenalidomide have been found in semen.  Male subjects taking lenalidomide 
must meet the following conditions (ie, all males must be counseled concerning the 
following risks and requirements prior to the start of lenalidomide study therapy): 
 
Understand the potential teratogenic risk if engaged in sexual activity with a pregnant 
female or a female of childbearing potential  
 
Understand the need for the use of a condom even if he has had a vasectomy, if 
engaged in sexual activity with a pregnant female or a female of childbearing potential. 
Contraception 
FCBP enrolled in this protocol must agree to use 2 reliable forms of contraception 
simultaneously or to practice complete abstinence from heterosexual contact during the 
following time periods related to this study:  1) for at least 28 days before starting study drug; 
2) while participating in the study; 3) dose interruptions; and 4) for at least 28 days after study 
treatment discontinuation.  
The 2 methods of reliable contraception must include 1 highly effective method and 
1 additional effective (barrier) method.  FCBP must be referred to a qualified provider of 
contraceptive methods if needed.  The following are examples of highly effective and additional 
effective methods of contraception: 
Highly effective methods: 
 
IUD 
 
Hormonal (birth control pills, injections, implants) 
 
Tubal ligation 


Diaphragm with spermicide 
 
Cervical Cap with spermicide 
Implants and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems are associated with an increased 
risk of infection at the time of insertion and irregular vaginal bleeding.  Prophylactic antibiotics 
should be considered particularly in subjects with neutropenia. 
Pregnancy Testing 
Medically supervised pregnancy tests with a minimum sensitivity of 50 mIU/mL must be 
performed for females of childbearing potential, including females of childbearing potential who 
commit to complete abstinence, as outlined below. 
Before Starting Lenalidomide 
Female Subjects 
 
FCBP must have 2 negative pregnancy tests (combined sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL) 
prior to starting lenalidomide.  The first pregnancy test must be performed within 10 to 
14 days prior to the start of lenalidomide and the second pregnancy test must be 
performed within 24 hours prior to the start of lenalidomide.  The subject may not receive 
lenalidomide until the Investigator has verified that the results of these pregnancy tests are 
negative. 
 
Will be warned that sharing study drug is prohibited and will be counseled about pregnancy 
precautions and potential risks of fetal exposure. 
 
Must agree to abstain from donating blood during study participation and for at least 
28 days after discontinuation from the study. 
Male Subjects 
 
Must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with females of childbearing 
potential while participating in the study and for at least 28 days following discontinuation 
from the study even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy.

she is continuing to use 2 reliable methods of birth control at each visit. 
 
Counseling about pregnancy precautions and the potential risks of fetal exposure must be 
conducted at a minimum of every 28 days and at the time that lenalidomide treatment is 
discontinued.  During counseling, subjects must be reminded to not share study drug and 
to not donate blood. 
 
Pregnancy testing and counseling must be performed if a subject misses her period or if 
her pregnancy test or her menstrual bleeding is abnormal.  Lenalidomide treatment must 
be discontinued during this evaluation. 
 
Females must agree to abstain from breastfeeding during study participation and for at 
least 28 days after discontinuation from the study. 
 
If pregnancy or a positive pregnancy test does occur in a study subject, study drug must be 
immediately discontinued. 
Male Subjects 
 
Counseling about the requirement for latex condom use during sexual contact with females 
of childbearing potential and the potential risks of fetal exposure must be conducted at a 
minimum of every 28 days and at the time that lenalidomide treatment is discontinued.  
During counseling, subjects must be reminded to not share study drug and to not donate 
blood, sperm, or semen. 


Appendix 9.  Guidelines for Documenting Prior Treatment 
Subjects must have documented relapse after at least 1, but no more than 3 prior 
treatment regimens or lines of therapy for multiple myeloma.  When documenting prior 
treatments for multiple myeloma, the following guidelines should be used: 
 
A new line of therapy is considered to start when a planned course of therapy is 
modified to include other treatment agents (alone or in combination) as a result of 
lack of adequate response, progressive disease (PD) (even if the level of 
progression has not yet met International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform 
Response Criteria [IMWG-URC] for PD), relapse, or toxicity. 
 
An increase in dose of therapy, with the intention of recapturing response in a patient 
who has evidence of progression on that therapy, is considered a new therapy. 
 
A new line of therapy is also considered to start when a planned period of 
observation off therapy is interrupted by a need for additional treatment for the 
disease. 
 
Examples of 1 line of therapy include: 
 
Induction therapy and stem cell transplant followed by planned maintenance 
therapy (provided there is no intervening PD) 
 
Induction therapy followed by maintenance therapy (provided there is no 
intervening PD) 
 
Documentation of at least partial response (PR) to at least 1 prior therapy

Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria MR = minimal response; PD = progressive disease; PR = partial 
response; sCR = stringent complete response; SFLC = serum free light chain; SPD = maximal perpendicular

All response categories (complete response [CR], stringent complete response [sCR], 
very good partial response [VGPR], partial response [PR]) require 2 consecutive 
assessments made at any time before the initiation of any new therapy, as well as no 
known evidence of progressive or new bone lesions if radiographic studies were 
performed.  Radiographic studies are not required to satisfy these response 
requirements.  Bone marrow, plasmacytoma, and skeletal survey assessments are not 
required to be confirmed by repeat testing.   
For sCR:  presence/absence of clonal cells is based upon the kappa lambda.  
“Measurable” disease is defined by at least 1 of serum protein electrophoresis 
(SPEP) ≥ 0.5 g/dL, urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP) ≥ 200 mg per 24 hours, or in 
subjects without detectable serum or urine M-protein, serum free light chain 
(SFLC) > 100 mg/L (involved light chain) and an abnormal kappa lambda ratio. 
Determination of progressive disease (PD) requires 2 consecutive assessments made at 
any time before classification of PD and/or the institution of new therapy.  Serum

M-component increases of ≥ 1 g/dL from nadir are sufficient to define progression if 
nadir M-component is ≥ 5 g/dL. 
Plasmacytomas:  A definite increase in the size is defined as a ≥ 50% increase from 
nadir as measured serially by the sum of the products of the maximal perpendicular 
diameter (SPD) of the measurable lesion or a ≥ 50% increase in the longest diameter of 
a previous lesion with ≥ 1 cm short axis.  A plasmacytoma is considered measurable if 
the longest diameter is at least 1 cm and the product of the cross diameters is at least 
1 cm2.  Plasmacytomas of lesser size will be considered non-measurable.  The 
requirement for bi-directional measurements applies only to plasmacytomas.

Superseding Amendment 1 Rationale:  Superseding amendment 1 has been issued 
to correct a shift in eligibility criteria numbering introduced in Amendment 1.  The 
correction is required to avoid extensive reprogramming in IVRS and RAVE systems.  
Exclusion criterion 216, per protocol amendment 1, has been corrected to exclusion 
criterion 233 and all other exclusion criteria have reverted back to the original criteria 
numbers as was presented in the original protocol.  
Amendment 1 Rationale: 
The protocol is amended to: 
 
Hepatitis B testing (hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B surface antibody, and 
hepatitis B core antibody) has been expanded to include all subjects that do not 
already have a prior medical history of hepatitis B or who have not had testing within 
the previous 12 weeks. Guidance has been provided regarding HBV DNA testing 
and monitoring for subjects with positive hepatitis B serology or a prior history of 
HBV.  In addition, guidance has been provided on the prophylaxis of HBV 
reactivation in patients at risk.  
 
Implement ECHO assessments every 6 months, EOS, and/or if clinically indicated. 
An ECHO must be performed within 72 hours of the onset of a suspected cardiac 
failure. 
 
Removed Self-Evident Corrections as they are no longer completed by DM per 
change in Amgen processes. 
 
Removed Adjusted calcium from lab analyte chart (redundant with Calcium corrected 
[if albumin < 4]). Added NTproBNP, BNP, CK2, CKMB, Troponin I, and Troponin T to 
lab analyte chart 
 
Added clarification around dose adjustments required for change of body weight 
> 20%. 
 
Added clarification around concomitant short- and long-term corticosteroid use. 
 
Added clarification around Intravenous Pre-hydration use.

Local serology testing for HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc.  
Testing is required: 
 
For subjects with a prior history of HBV infection at 
screening and HBV DNA testing every 12 weeks 
 2 weeks through end of study visit. 
 
For all other subjects at screening unless obtained 
within 6 months of screening and there was no 
change in the subject’s risk factors within these 
6 months.  
 
For subjects positive at screening, who become 
positive for serology during treatment, or who are 
at risk of becoming positive, HBV DNA testing will 
be performed every 12 weeks  2 weeks (and as 
clinically indicated) through end of study visit.   
A specialist should be consulted for all subjects who test 
positive for HBV serology. Subjects who have received 
Hepatitis B vaccination with only anti-HBs positivity and no 
clinical signs of hepatitis do not require HBV DNA 
monitoring.

Section:  Appendix 5 Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy and

Collection of Pregnancy and Lactation Information 
Replace: 
Risks Associated with Pregnancy 
(For the region specific use of lenalidomide, please refer to the regional label) 
Lenalidomide is structurally related to thalidomide.  Thalidomide is a known human teratogenic 
active substance that causes severe life-threatening birth defects.  An embryo fetal 
development study in animals indicates that lenalidomide produced malformations in the 
offspring of female monkeys who received the drug during pregnancy.  The teratogenic effect 
of lenalidomide in humans cannot be ruled out.  Therefore, a risk minimization plan to prevent 
pregnancy must be observed. 
Criteria for Females of Childbearing Potential (FCBP) 
This protocol defines a female of childbearing potential as a sexually mature woman who:  
1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or 2) has not been naturally 
postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing 
potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has had menses at any time in the preceding 
24 consecutive months). 
Counseling 
For a female of childbearing potential, lenalidomide is contraindicated unless all of the following 
are met (ie, all females of childbearing potential must be counseled concerning the following 
risks and requirements prior to the start of lenalidomide study therapy):

Risks Associated with Pregnancy 
(For the region specific use of lenalidomide, please refer to the regional label) 
Lenalidomide is structurally related to thalidomide.  Thalidomide is a known human teratogenic 
active substance that causes severe life-threatening birth defects.  An embryo fetal 
development study in animals indicates that lenalidomide produced malformations in the 
offspring of female monkeys who received the drug during pregnancy.  The teratogenic effect 
of lenalidomide in humans cannot be ruled out.  Therefore, a risk minimization plan to prevent 
pregnancy must be observed. 
Criteria for Females of Childbearing Potential (FCBP) 
This protocol defines a female of childbearing potential as a sexually mature woman who:  
1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or 2) has not been naturally 
postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing 
potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has had menses at any time in the preceding 
24 consecutive months). 
Counseling 
For a female of childbearing potential, lenalidomide is contraindicated unless all of the following 
are met (ie, all females of childbearing potential must be counseled concerning the following 
risks and requirements prior to the start of lenalidomide study therapy): 
 
She understands the potential teratogenic risk to the unborn child  
 
She understands the need for effective contraception, without interruption, 4 weeks before 
starting study treatment, throughout the entire duration of study treatment, dose 
interruption, and 28 days after the end of study treatment 
 
She should be capable of complying with effective contraceptive measures  
 
She is informed and understands the potential consequences of pregnancy and the need 
to notify her study doctor immediately if there is a risk of pregnancy

Rationale: 
The protocol is amended to: 
 
Hepatitis B testing (hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B surface antibody, and 
hepatitis B core antibody) has been expanded to include all subjects that do not 
already have a prior medical history of hepatitis B or who have not had testing within 
the previous 12 weeks. Guidance has been provided regarding HBV DNA testing 
and monitoring for subjects with positive hepatitis B serology or a prior history of 
HBV.  In addition, guidance has been provided on the prophylaxis of HBV 
reactivation in patients at risk.

Implement ECHO assessments every 6 months, EOS, and/or if clinically indicated. 
An ECHO must be performed within 72 hours of the onset of a suspected cardiac 
failure. 
 
Removed Self-Evident Corrections as they are no longer completed by DM per 
change in Amgen processes. 
 
Removed Adjusted calcium from lab analyte chart (redundant with Calcium corrected 
[if albumin < 4]). Added NTproBNP, BNP, CK2, CKMB, Troponin I, and Troponin T to 
lab analyte chart 
 
Added clarification around dose adjustments required for change of body weight 
> 20%. 
 
Added clarification around concomitant short- and long-term corticosteroid use. 
 
Added clarification around Intravenous Pre-hydration use.
