Could chemo at home become a reality for myeloma patients?
NCT ID NCT05620238
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explored whether multiple myeloma patients could safely administer the drug Carfilzomib at home instead of always going to the hospital. Nine patients who had already received at least one treatment cycle in the clinic were taught to give themselves the infusion on certain days. The goal was to see if this approach improved patient satisfaction and reduced time spent traveling and in the hospital.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Carfilzomib (Kyprolis)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could allow multiple myeloma patients to receive some chemotherapy infusions at home, cutting down hospital visits and freeing up time.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small study (9 participants) looking only at satisfaction and time spent, not safety or effectiveness. Home infusion carries risks like infection or improper handling.
