Date:12/12/2011

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ONXX) today announced final results from a Phase 2 study, known as the 004 study, evaluating single-agent carfilzomib, a next generation proteasome inhibitor, in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma. Results on prolonged infusion of carfilzomib and speed of response were also announced. These data were presented at the 53rd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.

Abstract #813: Final Results from the Bortezomib-Naive Group of PX-171-004, a Phase 2 Study of Single-Agent Carfilzomib in Patients with Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Results from the 004 Phase 2 study evaluated single-agent carfilzomib in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma who had received one to three prior treatments and had not been previously treated with bortezomib. In 67 evaluable patients, carfilzomib achieved an overall response rate (ORR) of 52 percent and a clinical benefit rate (CBR) of 64 percent when administered at 27mg/m(2). Sixty-four percent of patients were refractory to their most recent therapy prior to entering the trial. Overall response is defined as a partial response or greater.[i]  The median time-to-progression (TTP), duration of response (DOR) and overall survival (OS) were not reached in this study, designed to provide patients with up to 12 cycles of carfilzomib.  Forty-two percent of patients completed greater than 10 cycles and 22 patients continued treatment beyond one year in the extension protocol PX-171-010.

"This Phase 2 study demonstrates promising single-agent activity of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma who have not been previously treated with bortezomib," said Ravi Vij, M.D., Associate Professor, Department of Medicine,
