Overview

M-VTD-PACE is an intensive multi-agent combination chemotherapy regimen developed by the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). It is primarily used in the context of the Total Therapy (TT) clinical trial program for multiple myeloma, specifically within the Standard Total Therapy 3 (S-TT3) arm of the TT4B trial for low-risk patients. The regimen is an expansion of the VTD-PACE backbone, which consists of bortezomib (V), thalidomide (T), dexamethasone (D), cisplatin (P), doxorubicin (A), cyclophosphamide (C), and etoposide (E). The 'M' prefix signifies the addition of the alkylating agent melphalan. This combination therapy targets multiple myeloma through diverse mechanisms, including proteasome inhibition, immunomodulation, DNA alkylation, and topoisomerase II inhibition, aiming to overcome drug resistance and improve therapeutic outcomes in newly diagnosed patients.
