Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Carfilzomib
Treatment: Drugs - Bortezomib
Treatment: Drugs - Melphalan
Treatment: Drugs - Prednisone

Experimental: Carfilzomib, Melphalan, Prednisone - Participants received carfilzomib administered in combination with melphalan and prednisone for nine 42-day cycles. Carfilzomib was administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 22, 23, 29, and 30 of each 42-day cycle. The carfilzomib dose was at 20 mg/m² on cycle 1, days 1 and 2 followed by 36 mg/m² thereafter. On days 1 to 4, melphalan was administered at 9 mg/m² and prednisone was administered at 60 mg/m².

Active comparator: Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone - Participants received bortezomib in combination with melphalan and prednisone for nine 42-day cycles. Bortezomib was administered either IV or subcutaneously at 1.3 mg/m² during cycles 1 to 4 on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 22, 25, 29, and 32 followed by 1.3 mg/m² during cycles 5 to 9 on days 1, 8, 22, and 29. On days 1 to 4 of each cycle, melphalan was administered at 9 mg/m² and prednisone was administered at 60 mg/m².


Treatment: Drugs: Carfilzomib
Carfilzomib was administered over 30 minutes on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 22, 23, 29, and 30 for nine 42-day cycles. Carfilzomib 20 mg/m² IV was administered on days 1 and 2 of cycle 1, followed by escalation to 36 mg/m² IV starting on day 8 of cycle 1.

Treatment: Drugs: Bortezomib
Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m² was administered as a bolus IV injection or as a subcutaneous injection (per investigator's choice, dose modification, or regulatory approval) on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 22, 25, 29, and 32 of cycles 1 to 4, and on days 1, 8, 22, and 29 of cycles 5 to 9.

Treatment: Drugs: Melphalan
Melphalan 9 mg/m² was taken orally on days 1 to 4 of all cycles.

Treatment: Drugs: Prednisone
Prednisone 60 mg/m² was taken orally on days 1 to 4 of all cycles.
