Low recruiment.

This clinical trial is a multicenter, cohort, with one arm to study the SLP to 18 months of Velcadito scheme (velcade 1.0 mg / m2 administered over two days with melphalan and prednisone) in patients with MM diagnosis again higher 75. After completion of the protocol patients were still approximately every two months, in clinical practice, to observe the survival and answers to other treatments. All the scans are part of the normal routine. The realization of diagnostic tests and drug treatment will be performed regardless of the patient's participation in the study as part of routine clinical practice All patients who meet criteria. The incidence of MM age-adjusted to cover the participating hospitals is estimated in 44 patients.

Patients will receive a course of 4 weeks duration of Melphalan / Prednisone / Velcade consist in Melphalan, 9 mg / m2 orally daily 1-4 and Prednisone 60 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4, in combination Velcade with a dose of 1.3 mg / m2 sc twice weekly (days 1, 4, 8, 11), followed by 2 weeks of rest (cycle duration of 4 weeks) and seven four-week cycles duration of melphalan / prednisone / Velcade consist in Melphalan, 9 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4 and prednisone, 60 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4, in combination with Velcade, at doses of 1, 0 mg / m2 sc (days 1, 4).

Melphalan and Prednisone will be dispensed for oral administration. The Melphalan should be administered in a single two hours separately taking any food and prednisone be taken in the morning with or immediately after a meal. The amount in mg will be calculated based on the body surface, to be calculated on day 1 of each cycle. Velcade for administration, calculated on day 1 of the cycle will be the same dose throughout the entire cycle. If a patient experiences a gain or loss of remarkable weight within the cycle, the dose to be administered will be recalculated based on the new body surface. The appropriate amount of Velcadeserá dispensed in a sc injection. Velcade dose between two leave at least 72 hours

Clinical Study Materials:

• Melphalan is presented for oral administration of 2 mg tablets.
• Prednisone is presented for oral administration in tablets 50, 30, 10, 5 and 2.5 mg to set the correct dose to be administered.
• Velcade.- (Bortezomib) for subcutaneous administration. All study drugs will be administered to patients under the prescription of the investigator or sub-investigators identified and in the case of Velcade dispensed in hospital Pharmacy Service Patients will receive a course of 4 weeks duration of Melphalan / Prednisone / Velcade consist in Melphalan, 9 mg / m2 orally daily 1-4 and Prednisone 60 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4, in combination Velcade with a dose of 1.3 mg / m2 sc twice weekly (days 1, 4, 8, 11), followed by 2 weeks of rest (cycle duration of 4 weeks) and seven four-week cycles duration of melphalan / prednisone / Velcade consist in Melphalan, 9 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4 and prednisone, 60 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4, in combination with Velcade, at doses of 1, 0 mg / m2 sc (days 1, 4).

Inclusion Criteria:

• The patient should, in the investigator's opinion, be able to meet all requirements of the trial.
• The patient must voluntarily sign informed consent before performing any test study that is not part of routine care of patients, with the knowledge that the patient can leave the study at the time you want, without being harmed at any time their aftercare.
• Age > 75 years.
• The patient should be diagnosed symptomatic multiple myeloma according to established criteria and may not have received any treatment for disease (see Appendix 6). Administration is permitted steroid pulses some urgency required prior to starting treatment or induction administration of bisphosphonates.

The patient must have measurable disease, defined as follows:

• For Multiple Myeloma secretory measurable disease is defined by the presence of measurable serum monoclonal component, 1g/dL or if urinary excretion of light chains is greater than or equal to 200 mg/24 hours.

  • Platelet count 50000/mm3,
  • hemoglobin 8 g/dl,
  • absolute neutrophil count 1000/mm3,
  • Lower values are permitted if they are due to infiltration of the MO.
