Intervention/exposure

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
1.Induction
Up to eight (8) cycles with 3-week treatment cycles: bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2 as a single bolus IV on days 1, 4, 8, 11) and dexamethasone 20 mg PO once daily on the day of bortezomib injection and the day thereafter (days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12) followed by a 10 day break between doses of bortezomib (days 12 through 21).
2.Consolidation
Up to three (3) cycles with 5-week treatment cycles bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2 as a single bolus IV on days 1, 8, 15, 22) and dexamethasone 20 mg PO once daily on the day of bortezomib injection and the day thereafter (days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 21, 22) followed by a 13 day break between doses of bortezomib (days 23 through 35).
3.Maintenance
Only patients with progressive disease will not be eligible for maintenance therapy.
Patients who achieve a maximum ‘response’ to bortezomib of one of stable disease (SD), partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) will receive maintenance therapy.
Patients with PR or SD will undergo the entire Induction/Consolidation treatment program outlined above and then move onto maintenance. Patients who achieve a CR must receive 2 further cycles of Induction therapy once CR is documented, and then they will move onto maintenance therapy.
Bortezomib 1.3g/m2 as a single dose every 2 weeks with dexamethasone 20 mg PO once daily on the day of bortezomib injection and the day thereafter (day 1,2). This will continue until disease progression.
