    Treatment Outcomes and Toxicity Profile of Carfilzomib in Multiple Myeloma: A Single Institution Experience
    Author(s): Thakur R*, Nina Kohn and Brown MH

    Carfilzomib is an irreversible proteasome inhibitor (PI), first approved in 2012 for treatment of relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The real-world use of carfilzomib in treatment of RRMM is important to assess. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the real-world outcome in overall response rates (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and adverse drug events (ADEs), including cardiotoxicity and nephrotoxicity for RRMM patients treated with carfilzomib. We retrospectively analyzed the charts of patients with a diagnosis of MM treated with carfilzomib between January 2013 and December 2018. Demographics, cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and treatment history were collected. Sixty-six patients fit the study criteria, with median age of 65 years (range 48 - 84). Using the Revised International Staging System (R-ISS), 7 (10.6%) p.. Read More»
