A randomized study comparing melphalan/prednisone (M/P) therapy with MP + natural α‐IFN in untreated patients with multiple myeloma stages II and III started April 1, 1986. By March 1989, 78 patients were evaluable in the MP group and 80 in the MP/IFN group. 48% of the MP patients achieved a response and 66% in the MP/IFN group (p = 0.04). Stage II patients responded better to MP/IFN (76%) than MP alone (47%) (p = 0.02), while no statistically significant difference was noted for stage III patients. 90% of the IgA myelomas responded to MP/IFN and 52% to MP (p = 0.02). Both for IgG and BJ myelomas the response rates of MP/IFN were higher than of MP, although the differences were not statistically significant. The observation period is still short. There was no difference in total survival between the two treatment groups. However, in patients ≤ 65 years a tendency to a longer survival was seen for those receiving the IFN combination (p = 0.12).
