Summary

This study tested whether adding the drug bortezomib to the standard chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant could help people with multiple myeloma live longer without their cancer getting worse. Fifty-four adults aged 18 to 69 with a suitable donor took part. The goal was to see if this new combination improved progression-free survival compared to historical results with standard chemo alone.
