dence of peripheral neuropathy, gastrointestinal complicat<strong>io</strong>ns, and herpes zoster infect<strong>io</strong>ns was higher with VMP. VMP is also considered as another standard of care for elderly patients. In this regimen, the weekly infus<strong>io</strong>n of bortezomib significantly reduces the incidence of PN. When comparing the VMP regimen with the bortezomib, thalidomide, and prednisone (VTP) regimen, there was no significant difference in ORR, but VMP had less adverse events than VTP. 51 The thalidomide plus VMP (VMPT) regimen did result in higher VGPR and CR rates than the VMP regimen. 52 When weekly infus<strong>io</strong>ns of bortezomib were used in the VMPT schema, the incidence of grade 3–4 PN was reduced in comparison with the standard biweekly infus<strong>io</strong>n without influencing the outcome. Maintenance with bortezomib after VMP or VMPT as frontline treatment <strong>lo</strong>oks promising. MP-lenalidomide The combinat<strong>io</strong>n of melphalan-prednisone and lenalidomide (MPR) at the maximum tolerated dose (0.18 mg/kg melphalan, 2 mg/kg prednisone and 10 mg lenalidomide) achieved an ORR of 81%, 48% VGPR, median time to progress<strong>io</strong>n of 28 months in a phase 1/2 study. 53 The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia and thrombocytopenia (52% and 24%, respectively at the maximum tolerated dose), febrile neutropenia (9%), vasculitis (9%), and thrombosis/embolism (5%). More than 40% of patients required growth factor support. These results were the basis of the prospective phase 3 randomized trial comparing MPR versus MPR fol<strong>lo</strong>wed by R maintenance versus MP. The primary endpoint of the study is time-to-progress<strong>io</strong>n, and preliminary results are in favor of the MPR-R arm. 54 Lenalidomide plus dexamethasone Dexamethasone has also been combined with lenalidomide (Revlimid ® ), (Rev-Dex) for de novo MM patients. Elderly patients represented half the populat<strong>io</strong>n of the 34 cases enrolled in the phase 2 trial using Rev-Dex. 55 Lenalidomide was given orally 25 mg daily on days 1 to 21 of a 28-day cycle; high-dose dexamethasone was given orally 40 mg daily on days 1 to 4, 9 to Table 4. Novel agents as primary treatment in elderly patients. London, United Kingdom, June 9-12, 2011 12, and 17 to 20 of each cycle. The overall objective response rate was impressive, 91%, and 55% of patients experienced grade 3 or higher non-hemato<strong>lo</strong>gic toxicity. Rev-Dex regimen is thus a highly active regimen, but the high-dose dexamethasone combinat<strong>io</strong>n might be unnecessary, and responsible for detrimental side-effects. To solve this issue, the ECOG group initiated a prospective randomized trial (ECOG E4A03) comparing lenalidomide plus high-dose dexamethasone (40 mg daily, days 1–4, 9–12, 17–20) (Rev/High-dose dex) with lenalidomide plus <strong>lo</strong>w-dose dexamethasone (40 mg daily, days 1, 8, 15, 22) (Rev/<strong>lo</strong>w-dose dex). 56 Four hundred and forty-five patients, median age 66 years (up to 88 years), were treated, including 233 over the age of 65 years. Results clearly indicated that Rev/highdose dex was significantly more toxic as compared with Rev/<strong>lo</strong>w-dose dex. Infect<strong>io</strong>n/pneumonia, fatigue, hyperglycemia, deep vein thrombosis, and cardiac ischemia were more frequent with the Rev/high-dose dex schedule. Overall, non-hemato<strong>lo</strong>gic toxicity of any type grade greater than or equal to 3 was found in 52% of patients receiving Rev/high-dose dex compared with 34% of patients receiving Rev/<strong>lo</strong>w-dose dex (p
16 th Congress of the <strong>European</strong> Hemato<strong>lo</strong>gy Associat<strong>io</strong>n Conclus<strong>io</strong>n During the last 3 years, results of several phase 1/2 or phase 3 trials have clearly shown that the prognosis and the survival of de novo MM in elderly patients have been markedly improved. MP is no <strong>lo</strong>nger the reference treatment and should be abandoned. At least four highly active new treatment opt<strong>io</strong>ns are available, MPT, VMP, MPR, and Rd, with different toxicity profiles (Table 4). The goal of future trials will be to determine the best treatment strategy in this group of patients and to tai<strong>lo</strong>r, if possible, therapeutic opt<strong>io</strong>ns, taking into account distinct variables, such as tolerability, efficacy, cytogenetics, or comorbidity. The role of maintenance therapy in this group of patients also needs further evaluat<strong>io</strong>n. References 1. Munshi NC, Anderson KC, Bergsagel PL, Shaughnessy J, Palumbo A, Durie B, et al.
