"The very high complete and near complete remission rate of 21 percent with this induction therapy significantly improved post-transplantation complete remission rates. This led to a decrease in patients requiring a second transplant," said Professor Jean-Luc Harousseau, M.D., Hospital Hotel- Dieu Nantes and Principal Investigator of the trial. "Historically, regimens used as induction therapy prior to stem cell transplantation (SCT) produced low complete remission rates and offered minimal incremental benefit post- transplantation."

Results from the large clinical trial were presented by Professor Harousseau:
-- As induction therapy prior to SCT, the VcD arm demonstrated a complete

remission (CR, including immunofixation positive and negative) rate of

21 percent compared to 8 percent with VAD (p<0.0001)

-- Of the 404 patients who proceeded to SCT, the VcD arm demonstrated a

post-transplantation complete remission (CR, including immunofixation

positive and negative) rate of 41 percent comp
