Current multiple myeloma treatment strategies with novel agents: a European perspective Ludwig H; Beksac M; Blade J; Boccadoro M; Cavenagh J; Cavo M; Dimopoulos M; Drach J; Einsele H; Facon T; Goldschmidt H; Harousseau JL; Hess U; Ketterer N; Kropff M; Mendeleeva L; Morgan G; Palumbo A; Plesner T; San Miguel J; Shpilberg O; Sondergeld P; Sonneveld P; Zweegman SOncologist 2010[]; 15 (1): 6-25The treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has undergone significant developments in recent years. The availability of the novel agents thalidomide, bortezomib, and lenalidomide has expanded treatment options and has improved the outcome of patients with MM. Following the introduction of these agents in the relapsed/refractory setting, they are also undergoing investigation in the initial treatment of MM. A number of phase III trials have demonstrated the efficacy of novel agent combinations in the transplant and nontransplant settings, and based on these results standard induction regimens are being challenged and replaced. In the transplant setting, a number of newer induction regimens are now available that have been shown to be superior to the vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone regimen. Similarly, in the front-line treatment of patients not eligible for transplantation, regimens incorporating novel agents have been found to be superior to the traditional melphalan plus prednisone regimen. Importantly, some of the novel agents appear to be active in patients with high-risk disease, such as adverse cytogenetic features, and certain comorbidities, such as renal impairment. This review presents an overview of the most recent data with these novel agents and summarizes European treatment practices incorporating the novel agents.|Antineoplastic Agents/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols[MESH]|Boronic Acids/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Bortezomib[MESH]|Chromosome Aberrations[MESH]|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Decision Making[MESH]|Decision Trees[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Kidney Failure, Chronic/drug therapy/etiology[MESH]|Lenalidomide[MESH]|Multiple Myeloma/genetics/mortality/*therapy[MESH]|Neoplasm Recurrence, Local/drug therapy[MESH]|Pyrazines/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Stem Cell Transplantation[MESH]|Thalidomide/*analogs & derivatives/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Transplantation, Homologous[MESH] |
