- Systemic Amyloid Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis
- Polyneuropathy, grade 1 with pain or grade ≥ 2

- Renal insufficiency requiring dialysis
- Patients with active, uncontrolled infections
- Pre-treatment with cytostatic drug, imunnomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) or proteasome inhibitors. Radiotherapy or a short course of steroids (e.g. 4 day treatment of dexamethasone 40 mg/day or equivalent) are allowed
- Patients known to be Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive
- Active malignancy other than MM requiring treatment or a malignancy that has been treated with chemotherapy currently affecting bone marrow capacity
- Any psychological, familial, sociological and geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule
- Patients with plasma cell leukemia

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

Discontinuation rate, defined as the proportion of patients who received less than 9 cycles of MPV according to protocol treatment

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Evaluation of this endpoint will take place as soon as the relevant data of all patients are available and validated.

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

- Safety and toxicity as defined by type, frequency and severity of adverse events as defined by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria (CTC), version 4.0
- Overall response rate where response is defined as sCR, CR, VGPR or PR
- Time to response
- Progression free survival , defined as time from registration to progression, relapse or death from any cause whichever occurs first
- Overall survival, measured from time of registration to death. Patients still alive or lost to follow up are censored at the date they were last known to be alive (date last contact)
- Relative dose intensity and cumulative dose intensity of Melphalan, Prednisone and Bortezomib
- Predictive value of geriatric assessments
- Quality of life as defined by the EORTC QLQ-C30 and MY-20 definitions
- Association of biomarkers for biological age with toxicity and feasibility of the treatment
- Associations with toxicity and with feasibility of the treatment regimen of polymorphism of genes involved in drug metabolism and related with bortezomib-induced PNP
- Association of risk factors and myeloma gene expression profiles with prognosis
- Cost effectiveness as defined by the EQ-5D and the involved costs

E.5.2.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Evaluation of this endpoint will take place as soon as the relevant data of all patients are available and validated.
