- description
- Carfilzomib 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.
