Bortezomib consolidation in patients with myeloma following treatment with high-dose melphalan and autologous stem cell support. A randomised NMSG trial (15/05).
- Conditions
- The main purpose of this trial is to study the effect of consolidation treatment with Velcade after autologous stem cell transplantatin (ASCT) for multiple myeloma.
