Study in Myeloma Patients Newly Diagnosed Treated as an Induction With Velcade-Dex or Velcade (Bortezomib) Thalidomide Dexamethasone (VTD)

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31

Summary

Primary objective:

• Compare the complete remission (CR) rates (i.e., the true CR, with negative immunofixation) achieved with either four courses of VD or four courses of VTD.

Secondary objectives:

• Compare the following parameters following 4 cycles of VD or VTD induction treatment:

• CR rate+ very good partial remission (VGPR) rate

• Overall remission rate (CR + VGPR + partial remission (PR) rate)

• K/l light chain ratio in patients in CR.

• Safety (quality of the sampled stem cells, extrahaematological and haematological toxicity: specially neurological toxicity, length of hospitalization).

• Compare the CR rate and the CR + VGPR rates after post-induction autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).

• Phase: Phase 3
