carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone re-induction followed by the 2nd asct in multiple myeloma patients relapsed after the 1st asct

Conditions: Multiple Myeloma

Summary: the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of salvage treatment with carfilzomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone (krd) followed by 2nd autologous stem cell transplantation (asct) and lenalidomide maintenance in patients with relapsed myeloma after 1st asct.

this is a single-arm phase ii study to assess the efficacy and safety of krd followed by 2nd asct - lenalidomide maintenance for 18 months in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma after 1st asct who are 70 years of age or younger. a total of 58 participants will be recruited. as a re-induction therapy 6 cycles of krd (k, 27mg/m2, d1,2,8,9,15,16; r, 25 mg, d1-21; d, 40mg weekly, every 28 days) will be administered. if a patient achieves at least partial response, 2nd asct + lenalidomide 10mg for 18 months will be proceeded. study will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or completion of pre-planned schedule. response will be assessed using the international myeloma working group(imwg) response criteria and the safety profiles will be described using the nci-ctcae v5.0. participants who discontinue therapy will be followed every 3 months for 3 years if they are on subsequent treatment, disease-free or dead.
