Abstract

Total therapy 3 is an intensified protocol for multiple myeloma (MM). The "real life" outcomes of this protocol were seldom reported. Data was obtained for 81 patients (newly diagnosed, n=. 49; progressive MM, n=. 32), most of which had high-risk parameters. Overall response rate following (V)DT-PACE was 96% and 75% for the newly diagnosed and progressive groups, respectively. Median progression-free survival was 42.5 and 9 months, respectively. The 2-year overall survival was 88% and 40%, respectively. Treatment with (V)DT-PACE achieves high response rate among patients with high-risk disease, which can be translated into long-term remission only for newly diagnosed patients.
