Brief summary

Patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) are at increased risk of venous thromboembolic event, especially in newly diagnosed patients and during induction treatment with thalidomide in combination with dexamethasone. This association was mainly heightened during the 3 first months of chemotherapy. Several coagulation abnormalities have been described. Laboratory tests measuring the overall thrombophilic tendency might be useful to assess thrombosis risk. The aim of this study is to compare thrombin generation by calibrated automated thrombogram during the 3 first cycles of chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed MM.
