Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of bortezomib combined with dexamethasone and thalidomide regimens on aged patients with multiple myeloma. Methods A total of 166 multiple myeloma patients were selected between January 2009 and June 2013; all patients were assigned to regimens of T-VD or T-VAD named T-VD group or T-VAD group (with 25 patients in T-VD group and 29 in T-VAD group). Efficacies and toxicities were analyzed and compared after two cycles. Results Overall response rate (OR) in T-VD group was 84.0%; there was 6 patients achieved complete response (OR) or very good partial response (VGPR) (24.0%). However, Overall response rate (OR) in T-VAD group was 48.3%; there was only one patient achieved CR or VGPR (3.4%); significant difference between two groups was found (χ2=7.513, P<0.05). The major adverse reactions were debilitation, nausea, vomiting, myelo-suppression, cardiac toxicity, and peripheral neuropathy. There were highest incidence of nausea and vomiting in T-VAD group compared to T-VD group (χ2=5.794, P<0.05). Conclusion Bortezomib combined with dexamethasone and thalidomide regimens is effective and safe, which can be widely used for aged patients with multiple myeloma.
