Dosage in relapsed multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma:
The recommended dose of bortezomib is 1.3 mg/m²/dose administered as a 3 to 5 second bolus intravenous injection twice weekly for 2 weeks on days 1, 4, 8, and 11, followed by a 10-day rest period on days 12-21. This 3-week period is considered a treatment cycle. At least 72 hours should elapse between consecutive doses of bortezomib. It is recommended that patients receive 2 additional cycles of bortezomib following a confirmation of a complete response. It is also recommended that responding patients who do not achieve a complete remission receive a total of 8 cycles of bortezomib therapy.
65 Years Old and Above
No overall differences in safety of effectiveness were observed between patients ≥ 65 of age and younger patients receiving bortezomib, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
