NCT ID: NCT00469209

Last Updated: 2020-09-24

Results Overview

Number of participants with CR at Day 180 who had maintained CR for at minimum of 4 weeks, and who had: No monoclonal protein in urine/serum when analyzed by immunofixation electrophoresis; bone marrow normal by morphological examination with \<5% plasma cells, \<1% aneuploid light chain restricted population by flow cytometry for DNA/cIg; and, while healing of bony lesion is not required, no new lytic lesion should appear. Further compression fracture of spine not considered progressive disease.
