I fase III- forsøget førte behandlingen med VELCADE til signifikant længere tid indtil progression, en signifikant længere overlevelse og en signifikant højere responsrate sammenlignet med behandling med dexametason (se tabel 12) hos alle patienter samt hos patienter, som tidligere havde fået én behandling.
In the Phase III study, treatment with VELCADE led to a significantly longer time to progression, a significantly prolonged survival and a significantly higher response rate, compared to treatment with dexamethasone (see Table 12), in all patients as well as in patients who have received 1 prior line of therapy.
