Study Summary

Bortezomib (Velcade) has just recently been approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple myeloma in patients who have received at least two prior therapies and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy. This study will determine if Velcade is effective in treating patients with multiple myeloma that have had no prior treatment for the disease. We will also use whole-genome scanning to identify drug response biomarkers in bone marrow samples as well as nerve fiber studies to compare nerves prior to the use of Velcade and after treatment with Velcade.

Primary Outcome
