Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (PA DCO Only)
From randomization until the PA DCO date of 14 July 2019; the longest treatment duration as of the DCO was 102.3 weeks

Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to the earlier of disease progression or death due to any cause. Participants were evaluated for disease response and progression according to the International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC) as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC). The duration of PFS was right censored for participants who met any of the following conditions: 1. no baseline/post-baseline disease assessments; 2. started a new anti myeloma therapy before documentation of progressive disease or death; 3. progressive disease or death immediately after more than 70 days without disease assessment visit or; 4. alive without documentation of disease progression before the analysis trigger date (PA DCO); 5. lost to follow-up or withdrawn consent.

Secondary Endpoints
Overall Response (OR) as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (PA DCO Only)
From randomization until the PA DCO date of 14 July 2019; the longest treatment duration as of the DCO was 102.3 weeks
Minimal Residual Disease Negative Complete Response Rate (MRD[-]CR) at 12 Months as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee
12 Months (8- to 13-month window)
Overall Survival
Up to 58 months after the first participant was enrolled (at FA DCO, a median of 40.29 weeks of treatment [any study drug] in the Kd group and 79.29 weeks of treatment [any study drug] in the KdD group; FA DCO was 15 Apr 2022)

Kd - Carfilzomib and DexamethasoneACTIVE_COMPARATORCarfilzomib was administered intravenously (IV) at 20 mg/m\^2 in Cycle 1: days 1 and 2; at 56 mg/m\^2 in Cycle 1: days 8, 9, 15 and 16. The 56 mg/m\^2 dosage was continued in Cycles 2+ on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16. Dexamethasone was taken by IV infusion at 20 mg on Cycle 1, days 1 and 2 (in Cycles 2+, days 1 and 2 could be either oral or IV) and either orally or by IV infusion on days 8, 9, 15 and 16 and at 40 mg on day 22 of all 28-day cycles.
KdD - Carfilzomib, Dexamethasone and DaratumumabEXPERIMENTALCarfilzomib was administered intravenously (IV) at 20 mg/m\^2 in Cycle 1: days 1 and 2; at 56 mg/m\^2 in Cycle 1: days 8, 9, 15 and 16. The 56 mg/m\^2 dosage was continued in Cycles 2+ on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16. Dexamethasone was taken by IV infusion at 20 mg on Cycle 1, days 1 and 2 (in Cycles 2+, days 1 and 2 could be either oral or IV) and either orally or by IV infusion on days 8, 9, 15 and 16 and at 40 mg on day 22 of all 28-day cycles. The administration of dexamethasone was given on carfilzomib and/or daratumumab IV infusion days. Daratumumab was administered by IV at 8 mg/kg on Cycle 1: days 1 and 2; at 16 mg/kg on Cycle 1: days 8, 15 and 22, and Cycle 2: days 1, 8, 15, and 22. The 16 mg/kg dosage was continued on Cycles 3-6: days 1 and 15. The 16 mg/kg was further continued on Cycles 7+: day 1 only.
Interventions
NameTypeDescription
DexamethasoneDRUGCommercially available oral and IV formulas were obtained by investigative sites. Amgen supplied IV or PO dexa for some countries (Poland, Hungry, Romania, Bulgaria, Korea). Dosage modification rules applied based on participant age (participants \> 75 years were given lower doses), dexa-related toxicities, and discontinuation of carfilzomib.
DaratumumabDRUGDaratumumab was supplied as a concentrated solution for infusion in single-use vials.
CarfilzomibDRUGCarfilzomib for infusion was supplied as a lyophilized, sterile product in single-use vials. The lyophilized product was reconstituted with preservative-free sterile water for injection, the reconstituted solution contained carfilzomib 2 mg/mL. IV injections lasted approximately 30 minutes. Dose could be modified based on a \>20% change in body weight or toxicity.
