Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is exploring whether myeloma patients can safely and effectively give themselves bortezomib (a cancer drug) injections at home — after being taught by clinic staff — instead of always coming into a hospital or cancer center for each injection.
**You may be eligible if:**
- You are 18 or older with symptomatic multiple myeloma
- Your condition is clinically stable as determined by your doctor
- You (or a caregiver) are willing and considered capable of self-administering injections after training
- You have already received more than 4 bortezomib injections in a hospital or cancer center
**You may NOT be eligible if:**
- You are currently participating in another trial that includes bortezomib
- You have had an allergic reaction to bortezomib
- You have had grade 3 or worse side effects from bortezomib in the past
- You have had significant bleeding linked to bortezomib
- Your life expectancy is very short or you are unlikely to comply with therapy
