Carfilzomib is administered in treatment of Multiple Myeloma intravenously on two consecutive days, each week for three weeks (days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16), followed by a 12-day rest period (days 17 to 28). With COVID pandemic, the investigators had to limit patient visits to the hospital. The treatment protocols were modified by switching to weekly injections of carfilzomib according to the PLEIADES and ARROW 2 studies. Considering the frequency of intravenous (IV) administration, home-based chemotherapy in Hospital-at-Home (HaH) setting is an attractive and suitable alternative to standard hospital-based chemotherapy in Outpatient-Hospital (OH), and is expected to provide both cost-savings for the Health Insurance (HI) and improvement in patient quality of life (QoL). The purpose of the study is to assess the cost-utility of home-based compared to hospital-based carfilzomib administration in multiple myeloma. The investigators are also planning on assessing healthcare resource utilization and related costs, adverse and intercurrent events, and patients' quality of life and satisfaction, for each strategy.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
