New hope for Tough-to-Treat blood cancer patients

NCT ID NCT01665794

Summary

This study tested whether adding a drug called carfilzomib to two existing medications (pomalidomide and dexamethasone) could help control multiple myeloma in patients whose cancer had returned or stopped responding to previous treatments. The trial involved 25 adults who had already tried at least one other therapy. Researchers aimed to find the safest dose and see how well this combination worked to shrink tumors and delay cancer progression.
