Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of different doses of bortezomib combined with chemotherapy for multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:A prospective case series study was performed. A total of 81 MM patients at Leshan People's Hospital from February 2022 to May 2023 were collected as study subjects. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into high-dose bortezomib group (39 cases treated with 1.6 mg/m 2 bortezomib combined with dexamethasone and thalidomide) and low-dose bortezomib group (42 cases treated with 1.3 mg/m 2 bortezomib combined with dexamethasone and thalidomide). The clinical efficacy after 4 courses of treatment, adverse reactions, C-reactive protein (CRP), β 2 microglobulin (β 2-MG) and serum creatinine levels before and after treatment, survival and prognosis of patients in both groups were compared. Results:There were 29 males and 10 females in the high-dose bortezomib group and the age was (59±5) years; there were 31 males and 11 females in the low-dose bortezomib group and the age was (59±6) years. The differences in the general data of both groups were statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The overall effectiveness rate was 87.2% (34/39) and 80.9% (34/42), respectively in the high-dose bortezomib group and the low-dose bortezomib group, and the difference was not statistically significant of both groups ( χ2 = 0.58, P = 0.446). The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 30.8% (12/39), 19.0% (8/39), respectively in the high-dose bortezomib group and the low-dose bortezomib group, and the difference was not statistically significant of both groups ( χ2 = 1.49, P = 0.222). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of CRP, β 2-MG and serum creatinine between the 2 groups (all P > 0.05); after treatment, there were statistically significant differences in the levels of CRP [(23.6±2.2) g/L vs. (31.5±3.6) g/L)], β 2-MG [(2 317±63) μg/L vs. (4 212±114) μg/L] and serum creatinine [(70±5) μmol/L vs. (79±7) μmol/L] in the high-dose bortezomib group and the low-dose bortezomib group ( t value was 4.28, 18.29, 4.00, all P<0.05); and the levels of above 3 indicators after treatment were lower than those before treatment of both groups (all P < 0.05). The mortality rate was 10.3% (4/39) and 14.3% (6/42), respectively in the high-dose bortezomib group and the low-dose bortezomib group 1-year follow-up after treatment, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.30, P = 0.582). Conclusions:The efficacy and safety of high-dose bortezomib combined with chemotherapy are comparable to those of low-dose bortezomib combined with chemotherapy in treatment of MM, while the former could improve renal function and inflammatory status of MM patients.
