Efforts continue to optimize the use of HDT-ASCT with the aim of improving outcomes. One strategy has been the incorporation of novel agents (thalidomide, lenalidomide and bortezomib) in the pre-transplantation setting as an induction therapy or in the post-transplantation setting as a consolidation or maintenance therapy. Given their high response rates, three-drug induction therapy regimens (for example, bortezomib-thalidomide-dexamethasone, lenalidomide-bortezomib-dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide-bortezomib-dexamethasone) are now the standard of care. Thalidomide and bortezomib are well suited for consolidation therapy, and regimens using these agents can improve the depth of response following HDT-ASCT. Lenalidomide is particularly well suited for long-term maintenance therapy following HDT-ASCT, and initial results are promising and have shown improvements in disease outcomes such as progression-free survival and overall survival in some cases, although a low incidence of second primary malignancies have been observed. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal regimen and duration of induction therapy, the impact of maintenance on overall survival and the safety of long-term treatment. Many of the studies currently underway in MM will help address these aspects. </p>","PeriodicalId":91571,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia supplements","volume":"2 Suppl 1","pages":"S15-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1038/leusup.2013.4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34480549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatment goals in these patients should be to ensure improvement in disease management and to prolong survival while ensuring quality of life. Until recently, treatment options for such patients were limited, but new treatment combinations based on the novel agents thalidomide, bortezomib and lenalidomide have improved outcomes and survival. Moreover, phase III data indicate that maintenance treatment with novel agents may contribute to extended progression-free survival; however, the optimal duration of long-term therapy has not yet been defined. The potential for novel treatment regimens to improve the adverse prognosis associated with high-risk cytogenetic profiles, such as deletion 17p, also requires further research. Elderly patients, particularly those over 75 years and the clinically vulnerable, require close monitoring and individualized, dose-modified regimens to improve tolerability and treatment efficacy, while maintaining quality of life. </p>","PeriodicalId":91571,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia supplements","volume":"2 Suppl 1","pages":"S21-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1038/leusup.2013.5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34480550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
