Study in Myeloma Patients Newly Diagnosed Treated as an Induction With Velcade-Dex or Velcade (Bortezomib) Thalidomide Dexamethasone (VTD)

Phase 3
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Drug: Velcade-Dexamethasone
Drug: Velcade-Thalidomide-Dexamethasone
Registration Number
NCT00910897
Lead Sponsor
Intergroupe Francophone du Myelome
Brief Summary

Primary objective:

* Compare the complete remission (CR) rates (i.e., the true CR, with negative immunofixation) achieved with either four courses of VD or four courses of VTD.

Secondary objectives:

* Compare the following parameters following 4 cycles of VD or VTD induction treatment:

* CR rate+ very good partial remission (VGPR) rate

* Overall remission rate (CR + VGPR + partial remission (PR) rate)

* K/l light chain ratio in patients in CR.

* Safety (quality of the sampled stem cells, extrahaematological and haematological toxicity: specially neurological toxicity, length of hospitalization).

* Compare the CR rate and the CR + VGPR rates after post-induction autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
