| Popis | Introduction: Bortezomib with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is superior to bortezomib alone in the relapsed and/or refractory setting, based on the results of a randomized, parallel-group, open-label, multicenter phase III study. To identify patients who might most benefit from this new standard of care, we performed retrospective analyses evaluating the effects of clinically defined, high-risk features on the outcomes with this regimen. Treatment of relapsed/refractory myeloma with the combination of PLD plus bortezomib provides better outcomes over bortezomib alone, even in the presence of high-risk prognostic factors. These results suggest that PLD plus bortezomib may represent an additional standard of care for this population of patients with multiple myeloma. |
