Male: yes
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Male or female subjects, 18 years-of-age or older, with multiple myeloma who received at least one autologous transplantation and who have responded and later progressed or relapsed at least one year after transplantation
Intervention(s)

Product Name: VELCADE 3.5 mg powder for solution for injection
Product Code: PS-341, 26866138-AAA-PB-001
Pharmaceutical Form: Powder and solvent for solution for injection

Product Name: Thalidomide Pharmion
Product Code: Thalidomide Pharmion
Pharmaceutical Form: Capsule, hard

Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: · Response rate (complete + partial + minimal) using standard criteria
· Overall survival
· Side effects
Primary end point(s): The main endpoint is time-to-failure (TTP=time to progression). The power is based on an initial assumption of a median TTP of 1.5 years in the experimental (Velcade) group and 1 year in the control group.
Main Objective: Test the hypothesis that treatment with Velcade plus Thalidomide plus Dexamethasone in combination, will result in a longer time to progression (TTP) than Thalidomide plus Dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed or progressive myeloma after autologous transplantation
