Abstract
In a real-life multisite study, bortezomib (BTZ) maintenance therapy administered after a BTZ-based induction, with or without autologous transplantation, was safe, well tolerated, and effective in newly diagnosed myeloma patients. Progression-free survival (PFS) was 45 months, similar to that reported with lenalidomide maintenance therapy. Adverse cytogenetics was associated with worse PFS among patients treated with BTZ induction followed by maintenance therapy, but not in those who additionally underwent transplantation.
