Official title
Bortezomib, Thalidomide, and Dexamethasone Versus Thalidomide and Dexamethasone for Response Rates in Multiple Myeloma Patients: a Retrospective Study
Overview
Retrospective study based on medical records of patients with multiple myeloma, eligible for stem cell transplantation, who received, first-line, the VTD or TD combination.
Detailed description
The most current treatment of multiple myeloma is based on a combination of drugs, including immunomodulators, proteasome inhibitors, etc. The VTD (bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone) and TD (thalidomide and dexamethasone) regimens are commonly used as a first-line treatment due to limited resources. The study aimed to compare the proportion of favorable responses, survival, and time to the next treatment between two different treatment approaches. The investigators designed a retrospective study based on medical records of patients with multiple myeloma, eligible for stem cell transplantation, who received, first-line, the VTD or TD combination.
Interventions
- Drug Bortezomib
Bortezomib 1.3mg/m2 SC on days 1,4, 8,11 to the TD scheme for a total of 6 treatment cycles (14,15) (VTD)
Primary outcome measures
- Favorable Response [Time frame: Post-induction (6 months)]
- Time to next treatment [Time frame: Post-induction (2 years)]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Overall survival [Time frame: 3000 days]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- clinical records of patients who were considered eligible for transplant due to their functional status and who were given some treatment strategy comprising a combination of drugs.
Exclusion criteria
- Incomplete clinical records
- Clinical records of patients who abandoned treatment or could not continue with the treatment due to economic or distance issues
- Clinical records of patients who presented severe sepsis before the beginning of either treatment
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
