Bortezomib with or without dexamethasone in relapsed multiple myeloma following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

چکیده
We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of bortezomib in 23 patients with multiple myeloma who had relapsed after allografting. Bortezomib was given as single agent to 9 patients (39%) and in combination with steroids in the other 14 (61%). Major toxicities were thrombocytopenia (10/23, 43%) and peripheral neuropathy (12/23, 52%). The overall response rate was 61% (14/23), including 22% (5/23) immunofixation-negative complete remissions. No significant differences in toxicity and response rates were seen between patients treated with bortezomib plus steroids and bortezomib alone. After a median follow-up of 6 months, progression free survival was 6 months. Twenty-one patients are alive, two and five in continuous very good partial and complete remissions, respectively.

متن کاملA Pilot Study of Bortezomib in Korean Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Myeloma
Recent clinical trials showed that bortezomib, a novel proteasome inhibitor, had therapeutic activity in multiple myeloma. However, there was no data about the feasibility of bortezomib in Korean patients. We performed a pilot study of bortezomib in patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma (1.3 mg/m2 twice weekly for 2 week in a 3-week cycle). Seven patients were enrolled. The median age of...

متن کاملBortezomib for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
Bortezomib is the first proteasome inhibitor drug tested in human patients. Bortezomib demonstrates a particular clinical utility in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), where it is the only one of the new drugs administered as mono-therapy that prolongs survival. The significant problem for the consistent pursuit of bortezomib was neurotoxicity, which has been significantly reduced by regis...
