摘要: Four intravenous (IV) alkylating agent regimens were tested in 615 previously untreated patients with multiple myeloma. Patients randomized to receive melphalan, cyclophosphamide, and carmustine combination (MCBP), sequentially (Seq-MCBP), or doxorubicin (MCBPA). The fourth group received IV melphalan (MP) as the only agent. All groups a tapering dose of prednisone. Toxicity was similar for all although nadir cytopenia reached more quickly regime including only. Response measured by reduction myeloma protein other parameters four treatments. Survival significantly poorer receiving agents sequence. survival high tumor cell load who azotemic better treated MP MCBP. In view simplicity probable cost savings attached single-agent treatment, melphalan/prednisone regimen ...
