Dr M Q Lacy, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, presented the results of a small phase I/II study of Pomalyst with Velcade and dexamethasone (PVD) for 42 patients who had prior Revlimid but for whom Revlimid was no longer working. Many had other prior regimens as well; two thirds had a prior stem cell transplant, and more than half had prior Velcade. The results are startling.
Overall response in these relapsed and refractory patients was 81%, including 82% of the high-risk patients. A complete response (CR) was seen in 19%, including a stringent CR in two patients. At 9 months, 72% were progression free, and the median progression-free period was a year and a half.
Quoting from the abstract: "PVD is a highly attractive option in patients with relapsed and refractory MM." Here is the abstract.
