Brief Summary
This study evaluates induction therapy with carfilzomib-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone before salvage high-dose melphalan with autologous stem cell support (HDT) in multiple myeloma patients with relapse after HDT done at diagnosis. In addition, the study evaluates the effect of maintenance therapy after salvage HDT in multiple myeloma. After salvage HDT half of the patients receive maintenance therapy with carfilzomib/dexamethasone while the other half are observed without maintenance therapy.

Interventions
All patients entering the study receive four series of CAR-CY-DEX (Cycle 1 with iv carfilzomib 20 mg/sqm on days 1 and 2, and iv carfilzomib 36 mg/sqm on days 8, 9, 15 and 16. Cycle 2 - 4 with iv carfilzomib 36 mg/sqm on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16. P.o. cyclophosphamide 300 mg/sqm on days 1, 8 and 15 and p.o. dexamethasone 20 mg on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 in each 28-days series) Subsequently all patients receive the conditioning regimen: Iv carfilzomib 27 mg/sqm on day -2 and -1 Iv melphalan 200 mg/sqm on day -2 \> 2.0 m CD34+ stem cells/kg body weight on day 0
Maintenance therapy two months after salvage HDT with iv carfilzomib 27 mg/sqm every second week and p.o. dexamethasone 20 mg every second week. The maintenance dose of carfilzomib will be escalated to 56 mg/sqm after 4 weeks provided acceptable side effects.
Observation without carfilzomib/dexamethasone maintenance
