Major trial questions need for stem cell transplant in myeloma treatment

NCT ID NCT01208662

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: Paul Richardson, MD Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This large study aims to determine if a powerful three-drug combination is just as good as that same combination followed by a stem cell transplant for treating newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in patients up to age 65. It directly compares the effectiveness and side effects of these two approaches to see which one better controls the cancer and keeps it from progressing. The goal is to find the best initial treatment strategy for younger patients.
