T score is used to calculate bone mineral density (calcium and other types of minerals) in an area of the bone. T score is the number of standard deviations above or below the mean for a healthy 30 year old adult of the same sex and ethnicity as a participant. This score is calculated from participant's age, gender and race and skeletal site. T score has a mean of '50' and a standard deviation of '10'. T score lower than its mean indicate low bone mineral density.

Tumor response was assessed as VGPR based on IMWG response criteria if, a) serum/urine M protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or; b) greater than or equal to 90% reduction in serum M protein plus urine M protein level less than 100 milligram/24 hour. CR=normal free light chain (FLC) ratio and absence of phenotypically aberrant plasma cells (PC) in bone marrow with a minimum of 3000 total PC analyzed by multiparametric flow cytometry; Complete response (CR) negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmocytomas and \<5% plasma cells in bone marrow.
