Impact on efficacy of the dose and schedule of bortezomib in Transplant-Ineligible Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

Melphalan, prednisone and bortezomib (MPV) is a current standard in the treatment of transplant ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (TI NDMM) and has been used as a control arm in several recent phase 3 clinical trials. Bortezomib related peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a limiting factor to apply the original MPV dose and schedule and reduced intensity schedules have been used both in clinical practice and in clinical trials. However, the feasibility of full-dose MPV and the impact on efficacy of dose intensity in real world have not been described.
