Major trial tests if newer drugs can replace stem cell transplants for myeloma

NCT ID NCT01208662

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 729 people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, aged up to 65. It compared a standard drug combination (lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone) to the same drugs plus a stem cell transplant using the patient's own cells. The goal was to see if the transplant helped people live longer without the cancer getting worse. The results help doctors decide the best first treatment for younger myeloma patients.
