Based on data from relapsed myeloma, the route of administration for bortezomib was changed from intravenous to subcutaneous after 314 of 604 patients had been enrolled. We analyzed 598 patients who received at least one dose of trial medication. Adverse events were reported more frequently in patients treated with intravenous bortezomib (intravenous=65 %K Antineoplastic Agents (NLM Chemicals) %K Bortezomib (NLM Chemicals) %K Dexamethasone (NLM Chemicals) %K Doxorubicin (NLM Chemicals) %K Cyclophosphamide (NLM Chemicals) %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:25840597 %2 pmc:PMC4486231 %R 10.3324/haematol.2015.124347 %U https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/127122
