CCTG MYX1 (MCRN‐003): Weekly carfilzomib plus cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: Descriptive Cost Analysis from the MCRN‐003/MYX1 single arm phase II trial

 

The MCRN-003/MYX1 clinical trial was conducted collaboratively between the Canadian Myeloma Research Group (previously known as the Myeloma Canada Research Network) and the Canadian Cancer Trials Group.  The trial evaluated a once-weekly carfilzomib dosing regimen, more convenient for patients and, as discussed in this manuscript, more cost-effective for the health care system.  Dr. Christopher Venner from the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton was Study Chair.  This secondary economic analysis was led by Dr. Bethany Monteith.
