New Study Investigates Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Relapsed and/or Refractory Myeloma

The results of the first clinical trial to investigate carfilzomib (Kyprolis®), pomalidomide (Pomalyst®), and dexamethasone (CPD) in multiple myeloma were published last week in the journal BLOOD . IMF Chairman Dr. Brian Durie, co-author of the study, calls the phase I-II results “remarkably good.” According to Dr. Durie, the well-tolerated regime produces remissions lasting approximately one year, and overall survival of close to two years, in the very-poor-risk setting of double refractory disease in which patients are resistant to both lenalidomide (Revlimid®) and bortezomib (Velcade®).
