摘要
Myeloma remains incurable with conventional treatment in the vast majority of patients. The introduction of thalidomide in 1999 for the treatment of relapsed disease offers the opportunity to treat patients who have developed myelotoxicity or who are refractory to conventional chemotherapy. The optimal schedule remains unresolved and only two studies have reported long term follow-up data. We report a phase 11 low dose escalation study of thalidomide with long term follow-up showing overall survival (OS) of 19 months and progression free survival (PFS) of 14 months. In addition we report on the side effects and toxicity and give recommendations for the use of thalidomide in the relapsed setting based upon these findings. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
