Response categories based on the International Myeloma Working Group uniform response criteria (2006): CR, complete response (remission), no detectable M-protein, <5% PC in BM; VGPR, very good partial response, ≥90% reduction in M-protein; PR, partial response, ≥50% reduction in blood M-protein; MR, minimal response, ≥25% but <50% reduction in blood M-protein; SD, stable disease, increase in M-protein.

b

Patient was not on treatment before progression.

c

Patient on continued treatment at 1 year.

d

Patient deceased.

e

Patient not on treatment at 1 year.

BM, bone marrow; PC, plasma cells; MGUS, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance; MM, multiple myeloma; NA, not available; ND, not detected.
