Btz has emerged as a standard of care in the treatment of patients with MM and AL. The approved dose and schedule of Btz is 1.3mg/m2 administered on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 as an intravenous (i.v.) bolus injection. However, among several side effects, peripheral neuropathy (PN) has a particular negative impact on the quality of life of patients treated with Btz. A recent trial provided evidence for a similar efficacy of Btz administered subcutaneously (s.c.) compared to i.v. administration, but side effects including PN were significantly less frequent with s.c. application of Btz.

Btz was used in combination regimens with dexamethasone (n = 9), with thalidomide/dexamethasone prior to autologous transplantation (VDT; n = 6), or with melphalan/prednisolone in elderly patients (VMP; n = 4).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results:</jats:title> <jats:p>Patients (male n=7; female n=12) were at a median age of 64 years (range 38–77), and 11 patients (58%) received the Btz-based regimen with Btz s.c. as their first line treatment.

Hematological toxicities were only at Grades 1+2 and included anemia (78%) and thrombocytopenia (33%). Only one patient developed a grade 3 PN, and this patient already had pre-existing PN due to prior i.v. administration of Btz. Other non-hematologic side effects were at grades 1+2 including fatigue (11%) and local skin reactions at the site of s.c. injection, which were self-limited.
