Abstract:
Bendamustine, a bifunctional derivate of nitrogen mustard, is an attractive treatment option for multiple myeloma (MM) due to its specific mode of activity, favorable toxicity profile, and clinical activity in patients resistant to alkylating agent. Bendamustine single agent and its combination with immunomodulators or proteasome inhibitors have been widely used in the relapsed/refractory MM patients. Bendamustine has brought the longer progression-free survival, overall survival time and deeper remission in the autologous stem cell transplantation pre-conditioning for MM patients. This paper reviews the treatment progress of bendamustine for MM.
