Aims • Best experimental therapy: • 4 drug combo VMPT • Maintenance VT • Best standard of care • 3 drug combo VMP • Safety and efficacy of weekly infusion of bortezomib
Treatment schedule • 511 patients (older than 65 years) randomized from 58 Italian centers • Patients: Symptomatic multiple myeloma/end organ damage with measurable disease • ≥65 yrs or <65 yrs and not transplant-eligible; creatinine ≤ 2.5 mg/dL VMP Cycles 1-9 Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 IV: days 1,8,15,22* Melphalan 9 mg/m2 and prednisone 60 mg/m2 days 1-4 R A N D O M I Z E NO MAINTENANCE 9 x 5-week cycles in both arms Until relapse VMPT Cycles 1-9 Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 IV: days 1,8,15,22* Melphalan 9 mg/m2 and prednisone 60 mg/m2 days 1-4 Thalidomide 50 mg/day continuously MAINTENANCE Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 IV: days 1,15 Thalidomide 50 mg/day continuously * 66 VMP patients and 73 VMPT-VT patients were treated with twice weekly infusions of Bortezomib

Conclusions 2 • Best available treatment option for elderly patient • VMPT VT improves PFS in comparison with VMP • VMPT VT improves response rate and PFS • VMPT increases CR rate • VT maintenance improves PFS • Once-weekly bortezomib reduces peripheral neuropathy
