PAD Combination Therapy Followed by Thal/Dex for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Phase 2
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Registration Number
NCT00319865
Lead Sponsor
Korean Multiple Myeloma Working Party
Brief Summary

Prospective multicenter phase 2 study using PAD and Thal/Dex combination sequentially.

Detailed Description

Although the overall survival was improved with the introduction of high dose therapy with autologous hematopoetic stem cell transplantation,it remains as a incurable disease. Most patients ultimately relapse. Recenlty, targeted therapy using novel agents, such as bortezomib and thalidomide, shows the possibility of improved in this situation. Among them, PAD (Velcade, Adriamycin,Dexamethasone) showed highest response rate. PAD does not show any cross resiatance with another effective combination, thalidomide plus dexamethasone.

We desined prospective multicenter phase 2 study using these combination sequentially.
