When multiple myeloma relapses
RESPOND with a treatment studied in 860 patients with relapsed multiple myeloma*
ASPIRE: a pivotal phase 3 study1

Adapted from Stewart et al.1
Survival rates have improved for multiple myeloma patients but relapse is still an issue, so there remains a need for new treatment approaches.1
Kyprolis® has been studied in combination with standard of care regimens to determine how it improves key efficacy endpoints.
Design:
The ASPIRE study was a randomised, open-label, multicentre, phase 3 study.1
Aim:
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Kyprolis® with lenalidomide and weekly dexamethasone vs lenalidomide and weekly dexamethasone alone in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma. 1
Population:
792 patients with relapsed multiple myeloma who had received 1–3 previous therapeutic regimens.1
Primary endpoint:
Progression-free survival.1
Secondary endpoints:
Included overall survival, the rate of overall response (partial response or better), duration of response, health-related quality of life, and safety.1

*396 patients received KRd in the pivotal phase 3 ASPIRE study1 and 464 patients received Kd in the head-to-head phase 3 ENDEAVOR study2
