About this trial

This project will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the conditioning regimen bortezomib-bendamustine-melphalan (BBM) in combination with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in relapsed multiple myeloma given from 2011 to 2018 at Uppsala University Hospital. This approach will be retrospectively compared to high dose melphalan (HDM) in the same setting in the years prior to, and following the BBM-period. Data on efficacy and safety data will be collected through systematic analysis of electronic medical records and from the Swedish Cancer Registry.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of first relapse after previous ASCT for multiple myeloma according to the International Myeloma Working Group.

Treated with a second ASCT (ASCT2) as part of second line treatment at UUH.

Conditioning at ASCT2 with bortezomib-bendamustine-melphalan or high-dose melphalan only.

Disqualifiers

Double (tandem) ASCT in first or second line treatment

Allogenic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation as part of first or second line therapy

Failure to meet the minimal dataset, defined as: (date of ASCT1 and ASCT2, date of start of induction treatment for relapsed myeloma prior to ASCT2, medical records from hospitalization for ASCT2, at least one follow-up visit (unless early death before first follow-up visit), date of progression and first treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma after ASCT2.

Trial population

Fifty consecutive patients, who were referred to UUH for a second ASCT after relapse in multiple myeloma following HDM and ASCT between 1 Nov 2011 and 30 Jun 2018 and who received conditioning with bortezomib-bendamustine-melphalan will be included in this study. As a control group, 25 consecutive patients who were treated with HDM prior to 1 Nov 2011 and 25 consecutive patients following 30 Jun 2018. The patients will be identified through the local European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) registry at UUH.
