Short-Term Therapeutic Efficacy, Survival Time and Side Effects in Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients with Different Chemotherapeutic Regimens / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the short-term therapeutic efficacy, survival time and side effects in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients treated with TCD regimen consisted of thalidomide, cyclophosphiamide and dexamethasone, and BCD reginen consisted of bortezomib, cyclophsphamide and dexamethasone.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of newly diagnosed MM patients admitted in our hospital from January 2011 to January 2018 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. According to chemotherapectic regimen, 106 patients were divided into 2 groups 53 cases in one group were treated with TCD regimen (TCD group), and 53 cases in another group were treaded with BCD regimen (BCD group). The therapeutic efficacy, median PFS and OS time and incidence of side effects in 2 groups were compared, at the same time the relationship of the remission degree and the factors in different subgroups with the therapeutic efficacy was analyzed in 2 groups.@*RESULTS@#There was no significant difference in the ≥MR rate between 2 groups (P＞0.05). The ≥PR rate, ≥VGPR rate and CR rate of BCD group were significantly higher than TCD group (P＜0.05). The median PFS time of patients in BCD group were significantly longer than that in TCD group (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the median OS time of patients between 2 groups (P＜0.05). The median OS time of ≥MR patients in TCD group was significantly longer than that of ＜MR patients (P＜0.05). The median OS time of ≥PR patients in TCD group were significantly longer than that of ＜PR patients (P＜0.05). The median OS time of ≥VGPR patients in BCD group was significantly longer than that of ＜VGPR patients (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the median OS time of ≥PR and ＜PR patients in BCD group (P＞0.05). The ORR of ≥VGPR patients in BCD group was significantly higher than that in TCD group (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of infection, fatigue, gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression between 2 groups (P＜0.05). The incidence of numbness in distal extremities and herpes zoster in BCD group was significantly higher than that in TCD group (P＜0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#TCD and BCD in the treatment of patients with NDMM possess the same disease control effects; BCD regimen application can efficiently improve remission degree and prolong PFS time; but TCD regimen application have the advantages in reducing the side effects risk and improving treatment tolerance.
