a Based on the presence of del (17p), t (4;14), and/or t (14;16), some patients have more than one abnormality. b Refractory disease was defined as progressive disease during therapy, no response (less than PR), or progressive disease within 60 days of stopping treatment, according to the International Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma. c Lenalidomide and/or pomalidomide plus bortezomib and/or carfilzomib.
