Interventions

  • Bortezomib, Dexamethasone, Rituximab — DRUG
    The combination of bortezomib, dexamethasone and rituximab will be administered in five treatment cycles. Bortezomib will be administered as an iv push over 3 to 5 seconds at a dose of 1.3mg/m2/day on days 1,4,8 and 11 of cycle one. On cycles 2-5 bortezomib will be given at a dose of 1.6mg/m2/day on days 1,8,15 and 22 of each cycle. Only on cycles 2 and 5, following the administration of bortezomib, dexamethasone 40mg IV and rituximab 375mg/m2 IV will be administered. A total of 8 infusions of rituximab will be administered. The administration of bortezomib before rituximab may abrogate the IgM flare phenomenon that occurs frequently after the first course of rituximab.

Study Details
