The most common second-line bortezomib-based regimens included bortezomib + dexamethasone (213 patients; 38%), bortezomib + melphalan + prednisone (110 patients; 20%), bortezomib + cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone (63 patients; 11%), bortezomib monotherapy (32 patients; 6%), and bendamustine + bortezomib + dexamethasone (26 patients; 5%).

The most common lenalidomide-based second-line regimens in the Rd continuous, Rd18, and MPT arms were Rd (24 [59%], 60 [73%], and 110 [73%] patients), lenalidomide monotherapy (13 [32%], 7 [9%], and 12 [8%]), Rd + investigational drug (1 [2%], 6 [7%], and 3 [2%]), Rd + monoclonal antibodies (0, 0, and 7 [5%]), and Rd + carfilzomib (0, 3 [4%], and 2 [1%]).

The most common thalidomide-based regimens included MPT (52 [57%]) and thalidomide monotherapy (14 [15%]).

§

The most common regimens in this category included melphalan + prednisone (41 [33%]) and dexamethasone monotherapy (18 [15%]); carfilzomib (as either carfilzomib + dexamethasone or carfilzomib + cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone) was given to 1 (2%), 6 (12%), and 2 (6%) patients in Rd continuous, Rd18, and MPT, respectively.
