The primary objective of this study is to determine if there is an improvement in progression-free survival(PFS) when siltuximab is added to VELCADE* (bortezomib) and dexamethasone in subjects with relapsedor refractory multiple myeloma.The…
The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of plitidepsin in combination with dexamethasone vs. dexamethasone alone as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Secondary objectives…
Given the medical need for improved treatment strategies for patients with previously treated and relapsed MM, the purpose of this phase III study is to compare treatment with bortezomib/dexamethasone + panobinostat to bortezomib/dexamethasone +…
