Amgen Inc. Research Reports
On August 4, 2014, Amgen Inc. (Amgen) and its subsidiary, Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., announced that a planned interim analysis demonstrated that the Phase III clinical trial ASPIRE (CArfilzomib, Lenalidomide, and DexamethaSone versus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone for the treatment of Patients with Relapsed Multiple MyEloma) met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival. According to the Company, patients treated with Kyprolis (carfilzomib) for Injection in combination with Revlimid (lenalidomide) and low-dose dexamethasone (KRd) lived significantly longer without their disease worsening (median 26.3 months) compared to patients treated with Revlimid and low-dose dexamethasone (Rd) (median 17.6 months). According to Amgen, while the data for overall survival, a secondary endpoint, are not yet mature, the analysis showed a trend in favor of KRd that did not reach statistical significance. Amgen informed that it would submit the results for presentation at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology, scheduled for December 6 to December 9, 2014, at Moscone Center, San Francisco, California.
