Summary

This study tested a combination of three drugs (carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) given before and after a stem cell transplant in 76 people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The goal was to see how well this approach could control the cancer. While the treatment aims to reduce or eliminate cancer cells, multiple myeloma typically requires ongoing management, so this is considered a disease control strategy.
