Brief Summary

The purpose of this post marketing study is to determine the plasma concentration of bortezomib (unchanged drug) to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK - the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) properties in the Taiwanese population. It will also provide expanded access (expanded access, sometimes called "compassionate use," is the use of an investigational drug outside of a clinical trial to treat a participant with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition who has no comparable or satisfactory alternative treatment options) to bortezomib for the same group of participants with multiple myeloma (cancer of the types of cells normally found in bone marrow).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (29)

• Number of Participants With Response to Treatment at Day 1 of Cycle 5

  Response to treatment was based on the changes in monoclonal protein (M-protein) in serum and urine. Response categories were complete response: complete clearance of M-protein for at least 6 weeks, response: at least 75 percent reduction in M-protein for at least 2 determinations 6 weeks apart, partial response: 50 to 74 percent reduction in M-protein, minimal response: 25 to 49 percent reduction in M-protein, stable disease: not qualifying minimal response or progression and progression: increased M-protein level in serum or urine or clinical signs of disease progression.

  Day 11 of Cycle 8

• Number of Participants With Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) Score at Baseline

  The KPS Index allows participants to be classified as per their functional impairment (abnormal function). This can be used to compare effectiveness of different therapies (medicine or medical care given to a participant for a disease or condition) and to assess the prognosis (outlook, probable outcomes) in individual participants. KPS was recorded on an 11-point scale (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100.) where '0=Dead' and '100=Normal, no complaints, no evidence of disease'. The lower the Karnofsky score, the worse the survival for most serious illnesses.
