Avet-Loiseau H, ASH 2010

26 Conclusions Induction treatment with bortezomib containing protocols before HDCT improve progression-free and/or overall survival. In patients not eligible for HDCT, MPV results in superior PFS and overall survival in comparison to MP. Proteasome inhibition represents a major treatment form in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Dexamethasone adds to the efficacy of bortezomib. Combination with alkylating agents, anthracyclines or novel drugs further improve both remission rates and remission quality.
