Also known as: Kyprolis
Carfilzomib is an anti-cancer proteasome inhibitor marketed as Kyprolis and used in multiple myeloma treatment. It is administered intravenously and was developed as a selective proteasome-targeting therapy. The FDA approved it in 2012.
An interim phase 3 analysis showed mezigdomide plus carfilzomib and dexamethasone reduced the risk of progression or death in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The SUCCESSOR-2 study remains ongoing and will assess overall survival and safety.
The multiple myeloma treatment landscape is rapidly expanding with over 75 companies developing 80+ pipeline therapies, while clinicians navigate evolving questions about transplant timing, quadruplet regimens, and minimal residual disease testing in newly diagnosed patients.
Preclinical and early clinical data show carfilzomib can restore BCMA expression on myeloma cells after CAR T-cell therapy failure, with 6 of 10 patients experiencing renewed clinical responses in a small study.
