Summary
This study tested a new approach for treating multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Instead of giving three strong drugs together from the start, doctors first gave two drugs (bortezomib and dexamethasone). Only if the disease did not respond well was a third drug (lenalidomide) added. The goal was to see if this step-by-step method could be just as effective but with fewer side effects. The study involved 30 adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
