mSMART recommendations for a risk-adapted approach to therapy. * Clinical trials strongly recommended as the first option * Note that a subset of patients with these factors will be classified as high-risk by other factors. a. Bortezomib containing regimens preferred in renal failure or if rapid response needed. b. If age >65 or >4 cycles of Rd, consider G-CSF plus Cytoxan or plerixafor. c. Continuing Rd is optional for patients responding to Rd and with low toxicities; Dex is usually discontinued after first year
