Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether doxorubicin HCL liposome injection, bortezomib, and Dexamethasone in combination, are effective in previously untreated multiple myeloma patients. Bortezomib inhibits the function of proteasomes, a novel mechanism of action.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The primary endpoint was complete response (CR) and near complete response rate (nCR) post induction therapy (i.e. 4 cycles of therapy). Each cycle consisted of 21 days.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
The secondary endpoints included time to best response, assessment of peripheral blood stem cells harvesting ( 3 weeks post cycle 4 day 21) and engraftment (within 4 weeks of mobilization), CR post-engraftment, QoL and safety (every cycle).
