Trial Information

Prospective, Observational, Multicenter Trial Evaluating Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Myeloma Patients Over the Age of 65


Newly diagnosed myeloma patients above the age of 65 years will be treated the following
way: Bortezomib (Velcade®) based induction treatment (either Velcade Dexamethasone, Velcade
Thalidomide Dexamethasone (VTD) or Velcade Cyclophosphamide Dexamethasone (VCD)). After the
induction phase, for patients at least in partial remission, a collection of peripheral
blood stem cells (PBSC) is done according to each center practice. High dose melphalan (140
mg/m2) followed by PBSC autologous transplantation is then performed. Three months post
transplant, 2-3 cycles (similar to the initial induction phase) of consolidation are
allowed.
