Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to better understand what effects Bortezomib, a drug used for multiple myeloma therapy, has on the immune system.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Multiple Myeloma Procedure: Blood draws

Detailed Description:

Subjects on this study will be receiving treatment for multiple myeloma according to the standard of care with a regimen containing Bortezomib.

If a bone marrow sample is clinically indicated to guide treatment, an additional 1 tablespoon of the specimen will be obtained for further laboratory studies.

Approximately 3 tablespoons of blood will be taken for research purposes before therapy with Bortezomib starts. When subjects return for follow-up after cycle 1, 2, and 3 and additional 3 tablespoons of blood will be taken for research purposes.

Optional samples of blood may be taken at follow-up visits after cycles 4, 5 and 6 and 1, 3 and 6 months after completing therapy.

This study also includes a medical record review.
