Question 1 of 5

Questions 1 and 2 refer to the following case:

A 50-year-old man with multiple myeloma (MM) presents 4 years after undergoing high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. For induction therapy, he received 4 cycles of bortezomib and dexamethasone and achieved a very good partial remission. At 3 months post transplant he was in a complete remission. He has been observed without maintenance therapy and has received periodic infusions of zoledronic acid. He has no residual toxicities of previous therapy.

Which of the following are appropriate therapies at the time of relapse?
