Retrospective analysis of cardiovascular (CV) events following compassionate use of carfilzomib (CFZ) in patients (Pts) with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

8595 Background: Herein, we report CV events observed in late-stage, heavily pretreated pts who received salvage CFZ under a compassionate use protocol. Methods: Pts received IV single-agent CFZ (20-45 mg/m2) over 2-30 min on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of a 28-day cycle (C) or CFZ with weekly dexamethasone (4-40 mg) during C1, along with other agents (eg, lenalidomide, thalidomide, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, cisplatin, vorinostat) during C2 and beyond. CV events were grouped according to preferred terms. Serious CV events were defined as those that required hospitalization. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) values were measured at baseline; peak values were recorded during C1. Results: 143 pts (median age, 61 years old; 70% were male) received treatment. Prior to enrollment, pts received a median of 7 prior lines of therapy (range, 2-15), including doxorubicin (range, 0-360 mg/m2). Most pts (92%) had prior autologous stem cell transplants (ASCT), with 74% receiving ≥2 ASCT (range, 0-5). Pts received C...
