Thalidomide represents one of the most relevant therapeutic advances for patients with multiple myeloma over the last 10 years. Despite some toxicities, it has demonstrated significant efficacy in elderly patients, as well as in the setting of younger subjects receiving autologous stem cell transplantation. Here, we report and discuss the clinical results achieved with thalidomide alone or in combination with dexamethasone or other drugs, such as melphalan, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and bortezomib, in previously untreated myeloma patients.

Abstract

Thalidomide represents one of the most relevant therapeutic advances for patients with multiple myeloma over the last 10 years. Despite some toxicities, it has demonstrated significant efficacy in elderly patients, as well as in the setting of younger subjects receiving autologous stem cell transplantation. Here, we report and discuss the clinical results achieved with thalidomide alone or in combination with dexamethasone or other drugs, such as melphalan, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and bortezomib, in previously untreated myeloma patients.
