What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Response rate better than very good partial response after 4 induction cycles

    The primary outcome is to observe the difference response rate between VCD and CTD induction myeloma elegible patient

    Time frame: Response rate after induction phase - at the end of cycle 4- (28 days each cycle)- time frame trough study completion
