Multiple Myeloma Treated With Thalidomide Before Autotransplant or With Conventional Chemotherapy and as Consolidation/Maintenance Treatment in Young and Elderly Patients : 3 Randomized Studies.

Registration Number
NCT01070862
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Caen
Brief Summary

The aim of the study was to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of Thalidomide in first-line treatment of multiple myeloma as induction treatment in young patients, with Dexamethasone before autotransplant, and in elderly patients in combination with conventional chemotherapy and as consolidation/maintenance therapy in young and elderly patients at plateau-phase.

Detailed Description

MY-TAG : Thalidomide as induction treatment before high dose therapy, in young patients MY-DECT : Thalidomide as induction treatment with conventional chemotherapy, in elderly patients MY-PLAT : Thalidomide and Dexamethasone at plateau-phase, after high dose therapy or conventional chemotherapy
