Hi
Is anyone aware of if there's any evidence that Thalidomide actually extends
the life of a person with multiple myeloma?

It's showing promise in clinical trials.

The reason I'm asking is because there was a programme on TV about this new
'wonder drug'
I did a quick google and I couldn't find any randomised double blind trials
with extension of life in mind.

Use this search string:

thalidomide "multiple myeloma" "clinical trials"
