First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people with multiple myeloma can safely give themselves a standard chemotherapy injection (bortezomib) at home, either by themselves or with a caregiver's help. About 100 adults who have already had at least four injections in a hospital will be taught how to self-administer. The main goals are to see how many can do it successfully, track side effects, and measure patient satisfaction and quality of life.
