Side Effects of Kyprolis
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The pooled safety population described in the Warnings and Precautions reflect exposure to Kyprolis in 2,239 patients administered in combination with other drugs in ASPIRE, ENDEAVOR, A.R.R.O.W., CANDOR, IKEMA, EQUULEUS, and PLEIADES. The most common adverse reactions occurring in at least 20% of patients who received Kyprolis in combination were anemia, diarrhea, hypertension, fatigue, upper respiratory tract infection, thrombocytopenia, pyrexia, cough, dyspnea, and insomnia. Kyprolis in Combination with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone The safety of Kyprolis 20/27 mg/m 2 twice weekly in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd) was evaluated in ASPIRE . The median number of cycles initiated was 22 cycles for the KRd arm and 14 cycles for the Rd arm.
Deaths due to adverse reactions within 30 days of the last dose of any therapy in the KRd arm occurred in 45/392 (12%) patients compared with 42/389 (11%) patients who died due to adverse reactions within 30 days of the last dose of any Rd therapy. The most frequent cause of deaths occurring in patients (%) in the two arms (KRd versus Rd) included infection 12 (3%) versus 11 (3%), cardiac 10 (3%) versus 9 (2%), and other adverse reactions 23 (6%) versus 22 (6%). Serious adverse reactions were reported in 65% of the patients in the KRd arm and 57% of the patients in the Rd arm. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in the KRd arm as compared with the Rd arm were pneumonia (17% versus 13%), respiratory tract infection (4% versus 2%), pyrexia (4% versus 3%), and pulmonary embolism (3% versus 2%). Discontinuation due to any adverse reaction occurred in 33% in the KRd arm versus 30% in the Rd arm.
Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of Kyprolis occurred in 12% of patients and the most common reactions included pneumonia (1%), myocardial infarction (0.8%), and upper respiratory tract infection (0.8%). The incidence of cardiac failure events was 7% in the KRd arm versus 4% in the Rd arm. Table 8 summarizes the adverse reactions in the first 12 cycles in ASPIRE.

Patients received Kyprolis 20/56 mg/m 2 twice weekly in combination with isatuximab and dexamethasone (Isa-Kd) (n=177) or Kyprolis and dexamethasone (Kd) (n=122). Among patients receiving Isa-Kd, the median exposure to Kyprolis was 65 weeks.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 59% of patients receiving Isa-Kd. The most frequent serious adverse reactions in >5% of patients who received Isa-Kd were pneumonia (25%) and upper respiratory tract infections (9%). Adverse reactions with a fatal outcome during treatment were reported in 3.4% of patients in the Isa-Kd group (those occurring in more than 1% of patients were pneumonia occurring in 1.7% and cardiac failure in 1.1% of patients). Permanent treatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction (grades 1-4) occurred in 8% of patients who received Isa-Kd. The most frequent adverse reactions requiring permanent discontinuation in patients who received Isa-Kd were infections (2.8%). Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4% of patients who received Kyprolis in the Isa-Kd group.
The most frequent adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in patients who received Kyprolis in the Isa-Kd group were administration site extravasation (1.1%) and infusion site extravasation (1.1%). Dose reductions or omissions of Kyprolis due to an adverse reaction in the Isa-Kd group occurred in 67% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions or omissions in >10% of patients who received Kyprolis in the Isa-Kd group were upper respiratory tract infection (12.4%) and hypertension (11.9%). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were upper respiratory tract infection, infusion-related reactions, fatigue, hypertension, diarrhea, pneumonia, dyspnea, insomnia, bronchitis, cough and back pain.

Premedication with dexamethasone 4 mg was required before each dose in Cycle 1 and was optional for subsequent cycles. The median age was 64 years (range 32–87), and approximately 57% were male. The patients received a median of 5 (range 1–20) prior regimens.
The median number of cycles initiated was 4 (range 1–35). Deaths due to adverse reactions within 30 days of the last dose of Kyprolis occurred in 30/598 (5%) patients receiving Kyprolis monotherapy. These adverse reactions were related to cardiac disorders in 10 (2%) patients, infections in 8 (1%) patients, renal disorders in 4 (< 1%) patients, and other adverse reactions in 8 (1%) patients. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 50% of patients in the pooled Kyprolis monotherapy studies (N = 598). The most frequent serious adverse reactions were: pneumonia (8%), acute renal failure (5%), disease progression (4%), pyrexia (3%), hypercalcemia (3%), congestive heart failure (3%), multiple myeloma (3%), anemia (2%), and dyspnea (2%). In FOCUS, a randomized trial comparing Kyprolis as a single agent versus corticosteroids with optional oral cyclophosphamide for patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, mortality was higher in the patients treated with Kyprolis in comparison to the control arm in the subgroup of 48 patients ≥ 75 years of age.
The most common cause of discontinuation due to an adverse reaction was acute renal failure (2%). Safety of Kyprolis monotherapy dosed at 20/56 mg/m 2 by 30-minute infusion was evaluated in a multicenter, open-label study in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma . The patients received a median of 4 (range 1–10) prior regimens. Adverse reactions occurring with Kyprolis monotherapy are presented in Table 19.

Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of Kyprolis. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure: hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), hepatitis B virus reactivation, gastrointestinal perforation, pericarditis, and cytomegalovirus infection, including chorioretinitis, pneumonitis, enterocolitis, viremia, intestinal obstruction, and acute pancreatitis.
Warnings & Cautions for Kyprolis
Cardiac Toxicities New onset or worsening of pre-existing cardiac failure (e.g., congestive
heart failure, pulmonary edema, decreased ejection fraction), cardiomyopathy, myocardial ischemia, and myocardial infarction including fatalities have occurred following administration of Kyprolis. Some events occurred in patients with normal baseline ventricular function. In clinical studies with Kyprolis, these events occurred throughout the course of Kyprolis therapy.
Death due to cardiac arrest has occurred within one day of Kyprolis administration. In randomized, open-label, multicenter trials for combination therapies, the incidence of cardiac failure events was 8% and that of arrythmias was 8% (majority of which were atrial fibrillation and sinus tachycardia). Monitor patients for clinical signs or symptoms of cardiac failure or cardiac ischemia. Evaluate promptly if cardiac toxicity is suspected.
Withhold Kyprolis for Grade 3 or 4 cardiac adverse reactions until recovery and consider whether to restart Kyprolis at 1 dose level reduction based on a benefit/risk assessment . While adequate hydration is required prior to each dose in Cycle 1, monitor all patients for evidence of volume overload, especially patients at risk for cardiac failure. Adjust total fluid intake as clinically appropriate in patients with baseline cardiac failure or who are at risk for cardiac failure . In patients ≥ 75 years of age, the risk of cardiac failure is increased compared to younger patients. Patients with New York Heart Association Class III and IV heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, conduction abnormalities, angina, or arrhythmias uncontrolled by medications were not eligible for the clinical trials.
These patients may be at greater risk for cardiac complications; for these patients, complete a comprehensive medical assessment (including blood pressure control and fluid management) prior to starting treatment with Kyprolis and remain under close follow-up .
Acute Renal Failure Cases of acute renal failure have occurred in patients
receiving Kyprolis. Some of these events have been fatal. Renal insufficiency (including renal failure) has occurred in approximately 9% of patients who received Kyprolis.
Acute renal failure was reported more frequently in patients with advanced relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who received Kyprolis monotherapy. The risk of fatal renal failure was greater in patients with a baseline reduced estimated creatinine clearance (calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation). Monitor renal function with regular measurement of the serum creatinine and/or estimated creatinine clearance. Reduce or withhold dose as appropriate .
Tumor Lysis Syndrome Cases of
TLS, including fatal outcomes, have been reported in patients who received Kyprolis. Patients with multiple myeloma and a high tumor burden should be considered to be at greater risk for TLS. Administer oral and intravenous fluids before administration of Kyprolis in Cycle 1 and in subsequent cycles as needed. Consider uric acid-lowering drugs in patients at risk for TLS. Monitor for TLS during treatment and manage promptly, including interruption of Kyprolis until TLS is resolved .
Pulmonary Toxicity Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and acute respiratory failure have
occurred in approximately 2% of patients who received Kyprolis. In addition, acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease, such as pneumonitis and interstitial lung disease, occurred in approximately 2% of patients who received Kyprolis. Some events were fatal.
In the event of drug-induced pulmonary toxicity, discontinue Kyprolis.
Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary arterial hypertension was reported in approximately 2% of patients
who received Kyprolis, with Grade 3 or greater in less than 1%. Evaluate with cardiac imaging and/or other tests as indicated. Withhold Kyprolis for pulmonary hypertension until resolved or returned to baseline and consider whether to restart Kyprolis based on a benefit/risk assessment.
Dyspnea Dyspnea was reported in 25% of patients treated with Kyprolis, with
Grade 3 or greater in 4%. Evaluate dyspnea to exclude cardiopulmonary conditions including cardiac failure and pulmonary syndromes. Stop Kyprolis for Grade 3 or 4 dyspnea until resolved or returned to baseline. Consider whether to restart Kyprolis based on a benefit/risk assessment .
Hypertension Hypertension, including hypertensive crisis and hypertensive emergency, has been observed with
Kyprolis. In ASPIRE, the incidence of hypertension events was 17% in the KRd arm versus 9% in the Rd arm. In ENDEAVOR, the incidence of hypertension events was 34% in the Kd arm versus 11% in the Vd arm.
In CANDOR, the incidence of hypertension events was 31% in the DKd arm versus 28% in the Kd arm. Some of these events have been fatal. Optimize blood pressure prior to starting Kyprolis.
Monitor blood pressure regularly in all patients while on Kyprolis. If hypertension cannot be adequately controlled, withhold Kyprolis and evaluate. Consider whether to restart Kyprolis based on a benefit/risk assessment.
Venous Thrombosis Venous thromboembolic events (including deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism)
have been observed with Kyprolis. In ASPIRE, with thromboprophylaxis used in both arms, the incidence of venous thromboembolic events in the first 12 cycles was 13% in the KRd arm versus 6% in the Rd arm. In ENDEAVOR, the incidence of venous thromboembolic events in months 1–6 was 9% in the Kd arm versus 2% in the Vd arm.
With Kyprolis monotherapy, the incidence of venous thromboembolic events was 2% . Provide thromboprophylaxis for patients being treated with Kyprolis in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone; with dexamethasone; or with intravenous daratumumab and dexamethasone. Select the thromboprophylaxis regimen based on the patient's underlying risks. For patients using oral contraceptives or hormonal contraception associated with a risk of thrombosis, consider non-hormonal contraception during treatment when Kyprolis is administered in combination .
Infusion-Related Reactions Infusion-related reactions, including life-threatening reactions, have occurred in patients receiving
Kyprolis. Signs and symptoms include fever, chills, arthralgia, myalgia, facial flushing, facial edema, laryngeal edema, vomiting, weakness, shortness of breath, hypotension, syncope, chest tightness, or angina. These reactions can occur immediately following or up to 24 hours after administration of Kyprolis.
Administer dexamethasone prior to Kyprolis to reduce the incidence and severity of infusion-related reactions . 5.10 Hemorrhage Fatal or serious cases of hemorrhage have been reported in patients treated with Kyprolis . Hemorrhagic events have included gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and intracranial hemorrhage and epistaxis. The bleeding can be spontaneous and intracranial hemorrhage has occurred without trauma. Hemorrhage has been reported in patients having either low or normal platelet counts.
Hemorrhage has also been reported in patients who were not on antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulation. Promptly evaluate signs and symptoms of blood loss. Reduce or withhold dose as appropriate . 5.11 Thrombocytopenia Kyprolis causes thrombocytopenia with platelet nadirs observed between Day 8 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle, with recovery to baseline platelet count usually by the start of the next cycle . Thrombocytopenia was reported in approximately 32% of patients in clinical trials with Kyprolis.
Hemorrhage may occur . Monitor platelet counts frequently during treatment with Kyprolis. Reduce or withhold dose as appropriate . 5.12 Hepatic Toxicity and Hepatic Failure Cases of hepatic failure, including fatal cases, have been reported (2%) during treatment with Kyprolis. Kyprolis can cause increased serum transaminases . Monitor liver enzymes regularly, regardless of baseline values.
Reduce or withhold dose as appropriate . 5.13 Thrombotic Microangiopathy Cases of thrombotic microangiopathy, including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura/ hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP/HUS), have been reported in patients who received Kyprolis. Some of these events have been fatal. Monitor for signs and symptoms of TTP/HUS. If the diagnosis is suspected, stop Kyprolis and evaluate.
If the diagnosis of TTP/HUS is excluded, Kyprolis may be restarted. The safety of reinitiating Kyprolis therapy in patients previously experiencing TTP/HUS is not known. 5.14 Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome Cases of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) have been reported in patients receiving Kyprolis. PRES, formerly termed Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome (RPLS), is a neurological disorder which can present with seizure, headache, lethargy, confusion, blindness, altered consciousness, and other visual and neurological disturbances, along with hypertension, and the diagnosis is confirmed by neuro-radiological imaging (MRI). Discontinue Kyprolis if PRES is suspected and evaluate.
The safety of reinitiating Kyprolis therapy in patients previously experiencing PRES is not known. 5.15 Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which can be fatal, has been reported with Kyprolis. In addition to Kyprolis, other possible contributory factors include prior or concurrent immunosuppressive therapy that may cause immunosuppression. Consider PML in any patient with new onset of or changes in pre-existing neurological signs or symptoms.
If PML is suspected, discontinue Kyprolis and initiate evaluation for PML including neurology consultation. 5.16 Increased Fatal and Serious Toxicities in Combination with Melphalan and Prednisone in Newly Diagnosed Transplant-Ineligible Patients In CLARION, a clinical trial of 955 transplant-ineligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma randomized to Kyprolis (20/36 mg/m 2 by 30-minute infusion twice weekly for four of each six-week cycle), melphalan and prednisone (KMP) or bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone (VMP), a higher incidence of fatal adverse reactions (7% versus 4%) and serious adverse reactions (50% versus 42%) were observed in the KMP arm compared to patients in the VMP arm, respectively. Patients in the KMP arm were observed to have a higher incidence of any grade adverse reactions involving cardiac failure (11% versus 4%), hypertension (25% versus 8%), acute renal failure (14% versus 6%), and dyspnea (18% versus 9%). This study did not meet its primary outcome measure of superiority in progression-free survival (PFS) for the KMP arm. Kyprolis in combination with melphalan and prednisone is not indicated for transplant-ineligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. 5.17 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, Kyprolis can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
Carfilzomib administered intravenously to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis at a dose approximately 40% of the clinical dose of 27 mg/m 2 based on BSA caused post-implantation loss and a decrease in fetal weight. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Kyprolis and for 6 months following the last dose.
Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Kyprolis and for 3 months following the last dose .
Pregnancy Safety for Kyprolis
Pregnancy Risk Summary Kyprolis can cause fetal harm based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action . There are no available data on Kyprolis use in pregnant women to evaluate for drug-associated risks. Kyprolis caused embryo-fetal lethality in rabbits at doses lower than the clinical dose (see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%–4% and 15%–20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data Carfilzomib administered intravenously to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis was not teratogenic at doses up to 2 mg/kg/day in rats and 0.8 mg/kg/day in rabbits. In rabbits, there was an increase in pre-implantation loss at ≥ 0.4 mg/kg/day and an increase in early resorptions and post-implantation loss and a decrease in fetal weight at the maternally toxic dose of 0.8 mg/kg/day. The doses of 0.4 and 0.8 mg/kg/day in rabbits are approximately 20% and 40%, respectively, of the recommended dose in humans of 27 mg/m 2 based on BSA.
Pediatric Use of Kyprolis
Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Kyprolis in pediatric patients have not been established. The safety and effectiveness of Kyprolis in combination with chemotherapy was evaluated, but not established in an open label trial (Study 20140106; NCT02303821) in 124 patients aged 1 to younger than 17 years with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have received prior targeted B-cell immune therapy or relapsed or refractory T-cell ALL. No new safety signals were observed in these pediatric patients. The systemic exposure of carfilzomib in these pediatric patients was within range of that observed in adults given the same dose based on body surface area.
Overdosage Information for Kyprolis
Acute onset of chills, hypotension, renal insufficiency, thrombocytopenia, and lymphopenia has been reported following a dose of 200 mg of Kyprolis administered in error. There is no known specific antidote for Kyprolis overdosage. In the event of overdose, monitor patients for adverse reactions and provide supportive care as appropriate.
Clinical Studies of Kyprolis
In Combination with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
ASPIRE (NCT01080391) ASPIRE was a randomized, open-label, multicenter trial which evaluated the combination of Kyprolis with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd) versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone (Rd) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who had received 1 to 3 lines of therapy (A line of therapy is a planned course of treatment without an interruption for lack of efficacy, such as for relapse or progressive disease). Patients who had the following were excluded from the trial: refractory to bortezomib in the most recent regimen, refractory to lenalidomide and dexamethasone in the most recent regimen, not responding to any prior regimen, creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min, ALT/AST > 3.5 × ULN and bilirubin > 2 × ULN, New York Heart Association Class III to IV congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within the last 4 months. In the KRd arm, Kyprolis was evaluated at a starting dose of 20 mg/m 2, which was increased to 27 mg/m 2 on Cycle 1, Day 8 onward. Kyprolis was administered as a 10-minute infusion on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle for Cycle 1 through 12. Kyprolis was dosed on Days 1, 2, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle from Cycle 13 through 18. Dexamethasone 40 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each cycle.
Lenalidomide was given 25 mg orally on Days 1 to 21 of each 28-day cycle. The Rd treatment arm had the same regimen for lenalidomide and dexamethasone as the KRd treatment arm. Kyprolis was administered for a maximum of 18 cycles unless discontinued early for disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Lenalidomide and dexamethasone administration could continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Concurrent use of thromboprophylaxis and a proton pump inhibitor were required for both arms and antiviral prophylaxis was required for the KRd arm. The 792 patients in ASPIRE were randomized 1:1 to the KRd or Rd arm.
The demographics and baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the two arms (see Table 22 ). Only 53% of the patients had testing for genetic mutations; a high-risk genetic mutation was identified for 12% of patients in the KRd arm and in 13% in the Rd arm. Table 22: Demographics and Baseline Characteristics in ASPIRE Characteristics KRd (N = 396) Rd (N = 396) ECOG = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; IgG = immunoglobulin G; ISS = International Staging System; KRd = Kyprolis, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone; Rd = lenalidomide and dexamethasone Age, Median, Years (min, max) 64 65 Age ≥ 75 Years, n (%) 43 53 Males, n (%) 215 232 Race, n (%) White 377 377 Black 12 11 Other or Not Reported 7 8 Number of Prior Regimens, n (%) 1 184 157 2 120 139 3 Including 2 patients with 4 prior regimens. 92 100 Prior Transplantation, n (%) 217 229 ECOG Performance Status, n (%) 0 165 175 1 191 186 2 40 35 ISS Stage at Study Baseline, n (%) I 167 154 II 148 153 III 73 82 Unknown 8 7 Creatinine Clearance mL/min, Median (min, max) 79 79 30 to < 50, n (%) 19 32 50 to < 80, n (%) 185 170 Refractory to Last Therapy, n (%) 110 119 Refractory at Any Time to, n (%): Bortezomib 60 58 Lenalidomide 29 28 Bortezomib + immunomodulatory agent 24 27 Patients in the KRd arm demonstrated improved PFS compared with those in the Rd arm (HR = 0.69, with 2-sided P-value = 0.0001) as determined using standard International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG)/European Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) response criteria by an Independent Review Committee (IRC). The median PFS was 26.3 months in the KRd arm versus 17.6 months in the Rd arm (see Table 23 and Figure 1 ). A pre-planned overall survival (OS) analysis was performed after 246 deaths in the KRd arm and 267 deaths in the Rd arm. The median follow-up was approximately 67 months.
A statistically significant advantage in OS was observed in patients in the KRd arm compared to patients in the Rd arm (see Table 23 and Figure 2 ).

In Combination with Dexamethasone for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
The efficacy of Kyprolis in combination with dexamethasone was evaluated in two open-label randomized trials (ENDEAVOR and A.R.R.O.W.). ENDEAVOR (NCT01568866) ENDEAVOR was a randomized, open-label, multicenter trial of Kyprolis and dexamethasone (Kd) versus bortezomib and dexamethasone (Vd) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who had received 1 to 3 lines of therapy. A total of 929 patients were enrolled and randomized (464 in the Kd arm; 465 in the Vd arm). Randomization was stratified by prior proteasome inhibitor therapy (yes versus no), prior lines of therapy (1 versus 2 or 3), current International Staging System stage (1 versus 2 or 3), and planned route of bortezomib administration. Patients were excluded if they had less than PR to all prior regimens; creatinine clearance < 15 mL/min; hepatic transaminases ≥ 3 × ULN; or left-ventricular ejection fraction < 40% or other significant cardiac conditions.
This trial evaluated Kyprolis at a starting dose of 20 mg/m 2, which was increased to 56 mg/m 2 on Cycle 1, Day 8 onward. Kyprolis was administered twice weekly as a 30-minute infusion on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle. Dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23 of each cycle.
In the Vd arm, bortezomib was dosed at 1.3 mg/m 2 intravenously or subcutaneously on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of a 21-day cycle, and dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 of each cycle. Concurrent use of thromboprophylaxis was optional, and prophylaxis with an antiviral agent and proton pump inhibitor was required. Of the 465 patients in the Vd arm, 381 received bortezomib subcutaneously.
Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The demographics and baseline characteristics are summarized in Table 24.

The median time to response was 1 month (range < 1 to 8 months) in both arms. Figure 3 Figure 4 A.R.R.O.W. (NCT02412878) A.R.R.O.W. was a randomized, open-label, multicenter superiority trial of Kyprolis and dexamethasone (Kd) once weekly (20/70 mg/m 2 ) versus Kd twice weekly (20/27 mg/m 2 ) in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who had received 2 to 3 prior lines of therapy.
Patients were excluded if they had less than PR to at least one prior line; creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min; hepatic transaminases ≥ 3 × ULN; or left-ventricular ejection fraction < 40% or other significant cardiac conditions. A total of 478 patients were enrolled and randomized (240 in 20/70 mg/m 2 arm; 238 in 20/27 mg/m 2 arm). Randomization was stratified by current International Staging System stage (stage 1 versus stages 2 or 3), refractory to bortezomib treatment (yes versus no), and age (< 65 versus ≥ 65 years). Arm 1 of this trial evaluated Kyprolis at a starting dose of 20 mg/m 2, which was increased to 70 mg/m 2 on Cycle 1, Day 8 onward. Arm 1 Kyprolis was administered once weekly as a 30-minute infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15, of each 28-day cycle.
Arm 2 of this trial evaluated Kyprolis at a starting dose of 20 mg/m 2, which was increased to 27 mg/m 2 on Cycle 1, Day 8 onward. Arm 2 Kyprolis was administered twice weekly as a 10-minute infusion on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle. In both regimens, dexamethasone 40 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 8, 15 for all cycles and on Day 22 for cycles 1 to 9 only.
Concurrent use of thromboprophylaxis was optional, prophylaxis with an antiviral agent was recommended, and prophylaxis with a proton pump inhibitor was required.

In Combination with Daratumumab and Dexamethasone for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
The efficacy of Kyprolis in combination with daratumumab and dexamethasone or daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and dexamethasone (DKd) was evaluated in three open-label clinical trials (CANDOR, EQUULEUS, and PLEIADES). CANDOR (NCT03158688) CANDOR was a randomized, open-label, multicenter trial which evaluated the combination of Kyprolis 20/56 mg/m 2 twice weekly with intravenous daratumumab and dexamethasone (DKd) versus Kyprolis 20/56 mg/m 2 twice weekly and dexamethasone (Kd) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who had received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy. Patients who had the following were excluded from the trial: known moderate or severe persistent asthma within the past 2 years, known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a FEV1 < 50% of predicted normal, and active congestive heart failure. Randomization was stratified by the ISS (stage 1 or 2 vs stage 3) at screening, prior proteasome inhibitor exposure (yes vs no), number of prior lines of therapy (1 vs ≥ 2), or prior cluster differentiation antigen 38 (CD38) antibody therapy (yes vs no). Kyprolis was administered intravenously over 30 minutes at a dose of 20 mg/m 2 in Cycle 1 on Days 1 and 2; at a dose of 56 mg/m 2 in Cycle 1 on Days 8, 9, 15 and 16; and on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 of each 28-day cycle thereafter.
Dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 and then 40 mg orally or intravenously on Day 22 of each 28-day cycle. In the DKd arm, daratumumab was administered intravenously at a dose of 8 mg/kg in Cycle 1 on Days 1 and 2. Thereafter, daratumumab was administered intravenously at a dose of 16 mg/kg on Days 8, 15 and 22 of Cycle 1; Days 1, 8 and 15 and 22 of Cycle 2; Days 1 and 15 of Cycles 3 to 6; and Day 1 for the remaining cycles or until disease progression. For patients >75 years on a reduced dexamethasone dose of 20 mg, the entire 20 mg dose was given as a daratumumab pre-infusion medication on days when daratumumab was administered.
Dosing of dexamethasone was otherwise split across days when Kyprolis was administered in both study arms. Treatment was continued in both arms until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. A total of 466 patients were randomized; 312 to the DKd arm and 154 to the Kd arm.

Patients who had the following were excluded from the trial: known moderate or severe persistent asthma within the past 2 years, known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a FEV1 < 50% of predicted normal, or active congestive heart failure (defined as New York Heart Association Class III-IV). Kyprolis was administered intravenously over 30 minutes once weekly at a dose of 20 mg/m 2 on Cycle 1 Day 1 and escalated to a dose of 70 mg/m 2 on Cycle 1, Days 8 and 15; and on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Ten patients were administered daratumumab at a dose of 16 mg/kg intravenously on Cycle 1, Day 1 and the remaining patients were administered daratumumab at a dose of 8 mg/kg intravenously on Cycle 1, Days 1 and 2. Thereafter, daratumumab was administered intravenously at a dose of 16 mg/kg on Days 8, 15 and 22 of Cycle 1; Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of Cycle 2; Days 1 and 15 of Cycles 3 to 6; and then Day 1 for the remaining cycles of each 28-day cycle.
In Cycles 1 and 2, dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23; in cycles 3 to 6, dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 15 and 16 and at a dose of 40 mg on Day 8 and 22; and in cycles 7 and thereafter, dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1 and 2 and at a dose of 40 mg on Days 8, 15, and 22. For patients > 75 years of age, dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously weekly after the first week. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

This cohort enrolled patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma excluding patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40%, myocardial infarction within 6 months, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, or uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >159 mmHg or diastolic >99 mmHg despite optimal treatment). Patients received Kyprolis administered by IV infusion at a dose of 20 mg/m 2 on Cycle 1 Day 1 and if a dose of 20 mg/m 2 was tolerated Kyprolis was administered at a dose of 70 mg/m 2 as a 30-minute IV infusion on Cycle 1 Day 8 and Day 15, and then Day 1, 8 and 15 of each cycle; daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj1,800 mg/30,000 units administered subcutaneously once weekly from Weeks 1 to 8, once every 2 weeks from Weeks 9 to 24 and once every 4 weeks starting with Week 25 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity; and dexamethasone 40 mg per week (or a reduced dose of 20 mg per week for patients ≥75 years or BMI <18.5). The major efficacy outcome measure was ORR. A total of 66 patients received the DKd regimen. The median age was 61 years (range: 42, 84); 52% were male; 73% were White and 3% Black or African American; and 68% had ISS Stage I, 18% had ISS Stage II, and 14% had ISS Stage III disease. A total of 79% of patients had a prior ASCT; 91% of patients received a prior PI. All patients received 1 prior line of therapy with exposure to lenalidomide and 62% of patients were refractory to lenalidomide.
Efficacy results are summarized in Table 32. At a median follow-up of 9.2 months, the median duration of response had not been reached and an estimated 85.2% (95% CI: 72.5, 92.3) maintained response for at least 6 months and 82.5% (95% CI: 68.9, 90.6) maintained response for at least 9 months.

In Combination with Isatuximab and Dexamethasone for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
IKEMA (NCT03275285) The efficacy and safety of Kyprolis in combination with isatuximab and dexamethasone were evaluated in IKEMA, a multicenter, multinational, randomized, open-label, 2-arm, phase 3 study in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma. Patients had received one to three prior lines of therapy. Patients were eligible for inclusion if they had an ECOG status of 0-2, platelets ≥50,000 cells/mm 3, absolute neutrophil count ≥1 × 10 9 /L, creatinine clearance ≥15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 (MDRD formula), AST ≤3 × ULN, and ALT ≤3 × ULN. A total of 302 patients were randomized in a 3:2 ratio to receive either Kyprolis in combination with isatuximab and dexamethasone (Isa-Kd, 179 patients) or Kyprolis and dexamethasone (Kd, 123 patients). Treatment was administered in both groups in 28-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Isatuximab 10 mg/kg was administered as an intravenous infusion weekly in the first cycle and every two weeks thereafter. Kyprolis was administered as an intravenous infusion at the dose of 20 mg/m 2 on days 1 and 2; 56 mg/m 2 on days 8, 9, 15, and 16 of cycle 1; and at the dose of 56 mg/m 2 on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 for subsequent cycles of each 28-day cycle. Dexamethasone (intravenously on the days of isatuximab and/or Kyprolis infusions, and orally on the other days) 20 mg was given on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23 for each 28-day cycle.
On the days where both Kyprolis and isatuximab were administered, dexamethasone was administered first, followed by isatuximab infusion, then followed by Kyprolis infusion. Overall, demographic and disease characteristics at baseline were similar between the two treatment groups. The median patient age was 64 years (range 33-90), 9% of patients were ≥ 75 years, 71% were White, 17% Asian, and 3% Black or African American.
The proportion of patients with renal impairment (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) was 24% in the Isa-Kd group versus 15% in the Kd group. The International Staging System (ISS) stage at study entry was I in 53%, II in 31%, and III in 15% of patients. Overall, 24% of patients had high-risk chromosomal abnormalities at study entry; del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16) were present in 11%, 14%, and 2% of patients, respectively.
In addition, gain(1q21) was present in 42% of patients. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 2 (range 1-4) with 44% of patients who received 1 prior line of therapy. Overall, 90% of patients received prior proteasome inhibitors, 78% received prior immunomodulators (including 43% who received prior lenalidomide), and 61% received prior stem cell transplantation.
Overall, 33% of patients were refractory to prior proteasome inhibitors, 45% were refractory to prior immunomodulators (including 33% refractory to lenalidomide), and 21% were refractory to both a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulator. The median duration of treatment was 80 weeks for the Isa-Kd group compared to 61 weeks for the Kd group. Efficacy was based upon PFS. PFS results were assessed by an Independent Response Committee based on central laboratory data for M-protein and central radiologic imaging review using the IMWG criteria.
The improvement in PFS represented a 45% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death in patients treated with Isa-Kd compared to patients treated with Kd. Efficacy results are presented in Table 33. Table 33 Results are based on a prespecified interim analysis.

Monotherapy for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma Study PX-171-007 (NCT00531284) Study PX-171-007
was a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation, single-arm trial that evaluated the safety of Kyprolis monotherapy as a 30-minute infusion in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after 2 or more lines of therapy. Patients were excluded if they had a creatinine clearance < 20 mL/min; ALT ≥ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN), bilirubin ≥ 1.5 × ULN; New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure; or other significant cardiac conditions. A total of 24 subjects with multiple myeloma were enrolled at the maximum tolerated dose level of 20/56 mg/m 2. Kyprolis was administered twice weekly for 3 consecutive weeks (Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16) of a 28-day cycle.
In Cycle 13 onward, the Day 8 and 9 Kyprolis doses could be omitted. Patients received Kyprolis at a starting dose of 20 mg/m 2 on Days 1 and 2 of Cycle 1, which was increased to 56 mg/m 2 for all subsequent doses. Dexamethasone 8 mg orally or intravenously was required prior to each Kyprolis dose in Cycle 1 and was optional in subsequent cycles.
Treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Efficacy was evaluated by ORR and DOR. ORR by investigator assessment was 50% (95% CI: 29, 71) per IMWG criteria (see Table 34 ). The median DOR in subjects who achieved a PR or better was 8.0 months (Range: 1.4, 32.5).

Eligible patients were those with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who had received at least two prior therapies (including bortezomib and thalidomide and/or lenalidomide) and had ≤ 25% response to the most recent therapy or had disease progression during or within 60 days of the most recent therapy. Patients were excluded from the trial if they were refractory to all prior therapies or had a total bilirubin ≥ 2 × ULN; creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min; New York Heart Association Class III to IV congestive heart failure; symptomatic cardiac ischemia; myocardial infarction within the last 6 months; peripheral neuropathy Grade 3 or 4, or peripheral neuropathy Grade 2 with pain; active infections requiring treatment; or pleural effusion. Kyprolis was administered intravenously up to 10 minutes on two consecutive days each week for three weeks, followed by a 12-day rest period (28-day treatment cycle), until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for a maximum of 12 cycles.
Patients received 20 mg/m 2 at each dose in Cycle 1, and 27 mg/m 2 in subsequent cycles. Dexamethasone 4 mg orally or intravenously was administered prior to Kyprolis doses in the first and second cycles. A total of 266 patients were enrolled.
