Carfilnat Injection is a concentrated injectable formulation of Carfilzomib, a second-generation proteasome inhibitor specifically indicated for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Developed with a deep understanding of the molecular pathways that govern cancer progression, Carfilnat addresses a critical need for more effective, targeted therapies in patients who have failed prior lines of treatment.
Unlike broad-spectrum chemotherapy drugs, Carfilnat takes a selective approach — targeting the proteasome system within myeloma cells, which are integral to their survival. As a result, it represents both an advanced treatment strategy and a leap forward in precision medicine.

2. What Is Carfilnat and How Is It Different?
Carfilnat is a brand of Carfilzomib, a modern chemotherapeutic agent categorized under proteasome inhibitors. It is structurally distinct and more selective than its predecessor Bortezomib, and has demonstrated superior efficacy in several patient groups with multiple myeloma.
What sets Carfilnat apart?
• Selective Irreversible Binding: Unlike reversible inhibitors, Carfilnat irreversibly inhibits the proteasome, leading to a sustained anti-tumor effect.
• Lower Peripheral Neuropathy Risk: Compared to earlier drugs like Bortezomib, Carfilnat has a lower risk of neuropathy, a major side effect in multiple myeloma treatment.
• Proven Survival Benefit: Carfilnat has shown significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rates in multiple clinical trials.
