    description
    Bendamustine was administered to 3 cohorts of patients at escalating doses of 50 (cohort 1), 70 (cohort 2) and 90 mg/m\^2/dose (cohort 3). Doses were administered by intravenous (iv) infusion once daily on days 1 and 4 of each 28-day cycle. Each iv was administered over 60 minutes and followed the injection of bortezomib. Bortezomib will be administered to patients at a dose of 1.0 mg/m2/dose as an iv push over 3 to 5 seconds followed by a standard saline flush or through a running iv line. Doses are to be administered to patients on days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of the 28-day cycle.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    Maximum tolerated dose was the dose that was 1 step lower than the dose where at least one third of patients experienced DLT. A DLT was defined as any of the following occurring during the first cycle: * grade 4 hematologic toxicity without regard for relationship to study drug treatment * thrombocytopenia grade 3 with grade 3 or grade 4 hemorrhage * grade 3 febrile neutropenia * grade 3 or grade 4 nausea and vomiting refractory to anti emetic therapy * any study drug related grade 3 or grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity * any drug related death Toxicity grades (3=severe AE and 4=life-threatening or disabling AE) were assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.

secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    Overall tumor response is the sum of a complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), partial response (PR) and minimal response (MR). A modified version of the Bladé criteria for response was used. Abbreviated definitions for the response categories can be found in the description of outcome #3.

    time Frame
    Up to 7.5 months (eight 28-day cycles)
  2. description
    Abbreviated criteria for response categories: CR includes the disappearance of the original monoclonal protein (M-protein) from blood and urine, and \<5% plasma cells in the bone marrow, and no increase in size/number of lytic bone lesions, and disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas for \>=4 weeks. VGPR includes serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not electrophoresis, and reduction in 24-hr urinary light chain excretion by \<100 mg, and disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas for \>= 4 weeks, and no increase in size/number of lytic bone lesions. PR includes a \>=50% reduction in serum M-protein, and reduction in 24-hr urinary light chain excretion by either \>=90% or to \<200 mg, and \>=50% reduction in size of soft tissue plasmacytomas, and no increase in size/number of lytic bone lesions. MR includes a \>=25% and \<=49% reduction in serum M-protein. SD does not meet criteria for the other response categories. See outcome #4 for a definition of PD.

  3. description
    Time to progression was defined as the time from initiation of therapy to progressive disease (PD). PD requires at least one of the following: * \>25% increase in serum monoclonal paraprotein (which must also be an absolute increase of at least 5 g/L), * \>25% increase in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion (which must also be an absolute increase of at least 200 mg/24 h), * \>25% increase in plasma cells in a bone marrow aspirate or on trephine biopsy (which must also be an absolute increase of at least 10%), * definite increase in the size of existing lytic bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas, * the development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas, * the development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium \> 11.5 mg/dL or 2.8 mmol/L not attributable to any other cause).

  8. description
    Counts of participants who had AEs are summarized in a variety of categories. Severity and relatedness to study drug are in the opinion of the investigator according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.0. Severity is rated on a 5-point scale: 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life threatening or disabling, and 5= death related to AE. Relatedness is assessed on a 5-point scale: not related, unlikely, possible, probable and definite. Definite, probable and possible answers are reported as 'related' to study medication. Deaths are reported up to 18 months. All the deaths occurred beyond the treatment-emergent timeframe since they occurred 6.5-16 months after the final dosing. All other parts of the summary represent the treatment-emergent timeframe (up to 8.5 months) which is the treatment period plus 30 days.
