Abstract

Arsenic trioxide induces growth inhibition and apoptosis in multiple myeloma cell lines. Reducing glutathione by ascorbic acid may enhance the efficacy of arsenic trioxide. Here we report the results of an international multi-center study of arsenic trioxide in combination with ascorbic acid and dexamethasone as treatment for patients with advanced multiple myeloma.
