S. Vincent Rajkumar, MD, professor of medicine, Mayo Clinic, discusses bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone coming out on top in a recent phase III trial over lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone.
The findings of the phase III trial, labeled SWOG S0777, showed a 13-month improvement in progression-free survival and a 29% reduction of risk of death with the triplet of bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone, compared with lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone.
