About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Myeloma
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient has a newly diagnosis of multiple myeloma
- Patient requires treatment for multiple myeloma
- Subject have high-risk characteristics.Our definition for high risk multiple myeloma :(1) with cytogenetic abnormalities including del(17p),t(4;14),t(14;16),and/or t(14;20) ;(2) R-ISS III;(3) ISS III and no complete remission is achieved before maintenance therapy.
- Subject has measurable disease as defined by > 0.5 g/dL serum monoclonal protein, >10 mg/dL involved serum free light chain (either kappa or lambda) provided that the serum free light chain ratio is abnormal, >0.2 g/24 hrs urinary M-protein excretion, and/or measurable plasmacytoma(s) of at least 1cm in greatest dimension as measured by either CT scanning or MRI
- Subject has a Karnofsky performance status ≥60%
- Subject has a life expectancy ≥ 3 months
- Subjects must meet the following laboratory parameters:
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥750 cells/mm3 (1.0 x 109/L) Hemoglobin ≥ 7 g/dL Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3 (30 x 109/L if extensive bone marrow infiltration) Serum SGOT/AST <3.0 x upper limits of normal (ULN) Serum SGPT/ALT <3.0 x upper limits of normal (ULN) Serum total bilirubin <2.0 mg/dL (34 µmol/L) Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 cc/min
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject has immeasurable MM (no measurable monoclonal protein, free light chains in blood or urine, or measureable plasmacytoma on radiologic scanning)
- Subject has a prior history of other malignancies unless disease-free for ≥ 5 years, except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast, or localized prostate cancer with Gleason score < 7 with stable prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels
- Subject has had myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment, or NYHA (New York Hospital Association) Class III or IV heart failure (see Appendix VI), Ejection Fraction < 35%, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities
- Female subject who is pregnant or lactating
- Subject has known HIV infection
- Subject has known active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
- Subject has active viral or bacterial infections or any coexisting medical problem that would significantly increase the risks of this treatment program
- Subject is unable to reliably take oral medications

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
VRD for Followed by VR
The investigators gave patients subcutaneous bortezomib 1.3mg/m2 on days 1, 8,15, and 22; oral lenalidomide 25mg on days 1 to 21; and oral dexamethasone 40mg on days 1, 8, 15 and 12 of a 28-day cycle.Patients are allowed to proceed to stem-cell transplantation after four cycles of VRD at the discretion of the treating physician.Two months after hematologic recovery, nonprogressive patients are to receive consolidation therapy comprising two cycles of VRD.Patients who do not proceed to stem-cell transplantation receive more two induction cycles after obtaining maximum response but no less than six cycles totally. Responding patients could receive maintenance therapy comprising 4-week cycles of bortezomib 1.3mg/m2 on days 1 and 15 and lenalidomide on days 1 to 21 at the dose level of 10mg.
