Adding Thalidomide to Standard Therapy Improves Survival in Newly,Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients Over Age 75

ence of peripheral neuropathy, somnolence, and venous thrombosis. The levels of toxicity were found to be acceptable.

"These data show that in this elderly patient population, MP-T therapy offers clear superiority in extending overall survival compared with MP alone," said Dr. Cyrille Hulin, MD, on behalf of the Intergroupe Francophone du Myelome and a principal investigator of the trial. "In a patient population with a median age of nearly 80 years old, a survival advantage of this magnitude is remarkable. MP-T therapy should become the reference treatment for all elderly patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma."

Pharmion has submitted an application with the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) for approval of Thalidomide Pharmion as a first line therapy for multiple myeloma in Europe.
