VDPACE and Transplant

by Stann on Fri Aug 05, 2011 1:25 pm

I went through two rounds of VDPACE prior to transplant. The second VDPACE did not drop my IGG or my MSPIKE at all. After transplant can I assume that another round of VDPACE will not be beneficial?

Hello Stan,
VDPACE is a powerful drug combination often used to lower a patients myeloma burden
pre and post transplant. Your lack of response after the 2nd cycle suggests that further VDPACE may not provide significant benefit. I recommend that you discuss this with your hematologist/oncologist.
