To analyzed retrospectively two groups of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) receiving bortezomib and dexamethasone (VD) regimen and vincristine combined with pirarubicin and dexamethasone and melphalan(VADM) regimen.
Twenty-four patients were enrolled in a group of VD, receiving bortezomib 1.3mg/m(2) on days 1, 4, 8, 11 and dexamethasone 20mg on days 1-4 intravenously of every 21-day cycle. EBMT Standard was used to evaluate the efficacy and NCI-CTC V3.0 was used to decide the adverse effect. Thirty matched patients with newly diagnosed MM who received VADM were used as control group, receiving vincristine 0.4 mg/d and pirarubicin 9 mgxm(-2)xd(-1) and dexamethasone 20 mg/d and melphalan 12 mg/d on days 1 - 4 intravenously of every 28 day cycle.
With a median follow-up of 10.5 months in VD group, there were 87.5% patients (21/24) responded, including 12 cases (50.0%) of complete remission (CR) or near complete remission (nCR). The total response rate (RR) was 76.7% in VADM group, with no significant difference in VD group (P = 0.483). CR + nCR rate was significantly higher in VD group than in VADM group (10%) (P = 0.001). RR and CR + nCR of light chain patients in VD group were significantly higher than in VADM group (P = 0.025 and 0.040, respectively). The median time to response and to best response were significantly shorter in VD group than in VADM group. In VD group, the RR of 8 patients with renal dysfunction was 87.5%, and that of 16 with normal renal function was 75% (P = 0.631). There was no significant difference in adverse effects between patient with renal dysfunction and normal function (P > 0.05). The main adverse effects in VD group were fatigue (66.7%), diarrhea (58.3%), peripheral neuropathy (54.2%), thrombocytopenia (29.2%), infection (29.2%), fever (25.0%) and constipation (25.0%). Most of the adverse effects were mild (grade 1 - 2) and could be relieved by symptomatic treatments. The most common adverse event in VADM group was neutropenia (83.8%), infection (35.5%), vomiting (35.5%), loss of hair (32.5%) and thrombocytopenia (16.2%).
VD has higher CR + nCR rate compared with VADM and can be tolerant in most patients. VD is safe in patients with renal inadequacy.
回顾性分析两组新诊断的多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者,分别接受硼替佐米与地塞米松(VD)方案以及长春新碱联合吡柔比星、地塞米松与美法仑(VADM)方案的治疗情况。
24例患者入组VD组,每21天为1个周期,第1、4、8、11天静脉注射硼替佐米1.3mg/m²,第1 - 4天静脉注射地塞米松20mg。采用欧洲血液与骨髓移植协会(EBMT)标准评估疗效,采用美国国立癌症研究所通用毒性标准(NCI - CTC)V3.0判定不良反应。30例匹配的新诊断MM患者接受VADM方案作为对照组,每28天为1个周期,第1 - 4天静脉注射长春新碱0.4mg/d、吡柔比星9mg·m⁻²·d⁻¹、地塞米松20mg/d以及美法仑12mg/d。
VD组中位随访10.5个月,87.5%(21/24)的患者有反应,其中12例(50.0%)完全缓解(CR)或接近完全缓解(nCR)。VADM组总缓解率(RR)为76.7%,与VD组无显著差异(P = 0.483)。VD组CR + nCR率显著高于VADM组(10%)(P = 0.001)。VD组轻链患者的RR和CR + nCR显著高于VADM组(分别为P = 0.025和0.040)。VD组的中位反应时间和最佳反应时间显著短于VADM组。VD组8例肾功能不全患者的RR为87.5%,16例肾功能正常患者的RR为75%(P = 0.631)。肾功能不全患者与肾功能正常患者的不良反应无显著差异(P > 0.05)。VD组主要不良反应为疲劳(66.7%)、腹泻(58.3%)、周围神经病变(54.2%)、血小板减少(29.2%)、感染(29.2%)、发热(25.0%)和便秘(25.0%)。大多数不良反应为轻度(1 - 2级),可通过对症治疗缓解。VADM组最常见的不良事件为中性粒细胞减少(83.8%)、感染(35.5%)、呕吐(35.5%)、脱发(32.5%)和血小板减少(16.2%)。
与VADM相比,VD具有更高的CR + nCR率,且大多数患者可耐受。VD对肾功能不全患者安全。
