The early-relapse subgroup included patients with 1 prior line of therapy who progressed or relapsed <24 months after initiating their first line of therapy; the late-relapse subgroup included patients with 1 prior line of therapy who progressed or relapsed ≥24 months after initiating their first line of therapy.

ITT, intent-to-treat; MR, minimal response; NE, not evaluable; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial response; sCR, stringent complete response; SD, stable disease.

Response-evaluable population with 1 prior line of therapy. The response-evaluable population was defined as patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MM and measurable disease at the baseline or screening visit who received ≥1 administration of study treatment and had ≥1 postbaseline disease assessment.

P value was calculated using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel χ2 test.

ITT population with 1 prior line of therapy.
