Abstract
This prospective phase II study evaluated a regimen with vincristine, oral idarubicin and dexamethasone (VID) in 74 patients with multiple myeloma. A partial response was achieved in 57% (16/28) of patients with previously untreated disease and in 35% (16/46) with refractory diseases. VID chemotherapy is an effective and tolerable oral alternative in an outpatient setting for these patients.
