Study Summary

Investigators planned to accrue 176 participants, to compare the response rate, overall response rate and survival of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) when randomized to two regimens (thalidomide+Dexamethasone versus Vincristine+Adriamycin+Dexamethasone). Investigators also planned to test if treatment with zoledronate immediately prior to chemotherapy results in an enhanced response to treatment (i.e. increase in complete response rates).

Primary Outcome

Blade (15) criteria for remission in multiple myeloma was used to assess response. Complete Response (CR)includes: Disappearance of the original monoclonal protein from the blood and urine on at least two determinations for a minimum of 6 weeks by immunofixation studies. Partial Response (PR) includes: At least a 50% reduction in the level of serum monoclonal protein for at least two determinations 6 weeks apart. Minimal Response (MR)includes: At least a 25% to 49% reduction in the level of seru
