New drug cocktail aims to knock out blood cancer

NCT ID NCT01559935

Summary

This study tested a combination of four medications for adults newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer. The goal was to see if adding a newer drug called carfilzomib to an existing three-drug regimen could better control the disease and improve patient outcomes. Researchers measured how well the treatment worked, its side effects, and how long patients lived without their cancer getting worse.
