Summary

This study tests a new treatment plan for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. The goal is to see if adding a drug called bortezomib to a series of high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplants works better than previous treatments, especially for patients with certain chromosome abnormalities. About 177 participants will receive the therapy, which includes maintenance drugs to keep the cancer under control long-term.
