| Description | By intent-to-treat analysis a myeloma response was obtained in 72% of 18 previously and 50 not previously treated patients (complete response [CR]/near CR [nCR], 38%; very good partial response [VGPR], 15%; partial response [PR], 13%; minor response [MR], 6%). Renal response was achieved in 62% of patients (renal CR, 31%; renal PR, 7%; renal MR, 24%). Median GFR increased from 20.5 to 48.4 mL/min. GFR improvement correlated with tumor response; the greatest increase to 59.6 mL/min was seen in the group of patients with CR/nCR/VGPR. Median progression-free survival was 12.1 months. One- and 2-year survival rates were 72% and 58%, respectively. Survival did not differ between patients with and without renal response but was inferior in previously treated patients (P < .001). BDD induced a high rate of myeloma and renal responses, and treatment was well tolerated. |
