This document discusses the history and current state of treatment for multiple myeloma. It begins with a brief history of treatments from the 1960s including melphalan and prednisone and the introduction of autologous stem cell transplantation in the 1980s. It then focuses on the approval and mechanisms of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) including carfilzomib. Several studies are summarized that show carfilzomib based regimens achieving high rates of stringent complete response and minimal residual disease negativity in both relapsed and newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients including those with high-risk disease. While cardiac toxicity has been a concern, it is reported to occur in only a low number of patients.

High risk cytogenetics- 57% and 72% respectively
MRD negativity -60% after 8 cycles

Deeper and quicker responses- high rate of sCR

High rate of MRD negativity in trials
Activity against High risk myeloma
Cardiac toxicity , though of caution, is seen in low
number of patients.
Deeper responses can be cost effective in long run.
