    Notes: Abstract. Third-generation bisphosphonates are now currently used in the treatment of Paget's disease of bone. Dual X-ray absorptiometry may make it possible to quantify the action of these bisphosphonates on bone mineral density (BMD) in pagetic and nonpagetic bone. We used Lunar DPX, a total-body software program (automatic analysis and/or manual windows according to the site and bilateral or unilateral pagetic involvement) to study BMD in 28 patients (18 men, 10 women, mean age 69.8 years) with Paget's disease before and 6 months after infusions of 60 mg (alkaline phosphatase 〈350 IU) or 120 mg (ALP 〉350 IU) of pamidronate. Before treatment, in the 28 patients, the BMD of trabecular pagetic bone was 25% higher than that of nonpagetic bone; in cortical pagetic bone the BMD was 35% higher. After treatment, the BMD of trabecular pagetic bone increased by only 1.17%. the BMD of cortical pagetic bone increased by 1.37% whereas nonpagetic cortical bone lost 0.84%, independently of the levels of parathyroid hormone or the administration of calcium and vitamin D.

    Intensive combined therapy for previously untreated aggressive myeloma (1992)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-03-01
    Description: A trial was initiated to determine the feasibility and efficacy of a three-phase treatment including: (1) induction chemotherapy (IC); (2) high-dose melphalan with total body irradiation supported by unpurged autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT); and (3) interferon (IFN) alpha maintenance treatment, in previously untreated aggressive myeloma. Thirty-five consecutive patients, ages under 65 years, were enrolled. Initial induction therapy was randomized between the VAD regimen (vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone) or the VMCP regimen (vincristine, melphalan, cyclophosphamide, prednisone) that were found to give similar results as IC. Thirty-one of 35 (89%) patients, with good performance status and normal renal function after IC, received ABMT. IFN alpha was started soon after ABMT and was well tolerated. Fifteen of 35 (43%) patients achieved complete response (CR) and 14 of 35 (40%) achieved partial response (PR). Low pretreatment beta 2 microglobulin was the only predictive factor for accomplishing CR. The duration of response was significantly affected by the magnitude of response. The 33-month, post-ABMT probability of progression-free survival was 85% for patients in CR versus 24% for patients in PR. The 42-month, post-diagnosis probability of survival was 81%. This overall strategy may represent an advance in the management of multiple myeloma. Furthermore, the high rate and long duration of CR that we observed in patients with low beta 2 microglobulin suggest that such patients may preferentially benefit from this strategy.
