Abstract

Bortezomib-based combinations have become the standard frontline approach for the treatment of multiple myeloma in Canada. In non-transplant eligible patients adding bortezomib to the traditional alkylator/steroid backbone has proven to be effective with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone (VMP) being established as the standard triplet regimen. Building on this, a similar approach using cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (CyBorD) has been explored. Little data exists for this regimen in the elderly non-transplant setting. Here, the Alberta Myeloma and Dysproteinemia Program presents its experience after adopting CyBorD as the standard regime for transplant ineligible patients.
