Carfilzomib Treatment Arm
Carfilzomib will be administered at a dose of 20 mg/m2 on two consecutive days, each week for three weeks (Days 1 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16) to constitute one therapeutic cycle. Carfilzomib may be administered for 1-2 complete cycles in the study. Carfilzomib: Carfilzomib will be used in combination with the conventional therapy (plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulins)
