Article Synopsis
- Data on treating octogenarian patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) is limited, and this study examines a retrospective cohort of 74 such patients treated with bortezomib and dexamethasone.
- The treatment involved initial induction therapy, followed by dose escalation with other drugs if patients didn't respond, leading to an overall response rate of 73%.
- Despite the good response rate, median progression-free survival was 13.2 months, and overall survival was 26.9 months, with worse outcomes for patients with poor ECOG performance status, and there were significant early mortality rates during treatment.
