New drug combo tested to fight bone marrow cancer

NCT ID NCT02937571

Summary

This study tested whether combining three drugs (carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) is safe and effective for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Researchers worked with 29 participants to find the highest dose patients could tolerate without severe side effects. They also measured how many cancer cells remained after treatment to see how well the combination worked.
