abstract = {It is a matter of debate whether myeloma patients with
progressive disease (PD) after induction should receive
salvage therapy or proceed directly to autologous stem cell
transplantation. We performed a retrospective analysis of
1599 patients treated between 1991 and 2016 at the
University Hospital of Heidelberg and other centers.
Deepening of response through salvage therapy did not lead
to better progression-free or overall survival (PD versus
salvage therapy patients: HR = 0.71, $95\%$ CI [0.28,
1.80], p = 0.5 and HR = 0.77, $95\%$ CI [0.30,
1.95], p = 0.6, respectively), neither in patients
treated with novel agents (HR = 0.66, $95\%$ CI [0.23,
1.85], p = 0.4 and HR = 0.76, $95\%$ CI [0.27,
2.15], p = 0.6) nor older regimens (HR = 0.86,
$95\%$ CI [0.36, 2.07], p = 0.7 and HR = 0.8, $95\%$
CI [0.34, 1.91], p = 0.6). Therefore, primary
nonresponders might benefit from a direct transplant rather
than salvage induction, although the analyzed salvage
therapy cohort was small (n = 23) and cytogenetics was
not included in the multivariable analysis.},
