Overview
Brief Summary
The study is being done to compare the combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) and lenalidomide and dexamethasone without PBSCT in patients with untreated multiple myeloma. This comparison will include how the subjects respond to each study treatment combination, and what side effects are caused by each combination.
Detailed Description
Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell proliferative disorder responsible for 11, 000 deaths each year in the United States. Approximately one third of myeloma patients develop hypercalcemia and about two thirds present with anemia. As the second most common hematologic malignancy, myeloma remains incurable. In the last forty years, options for therapy have included melphalan-prednisone, anthracyclines, and vinca alkaloids; however, relapse with those regimens continues to be inevitable with a median survival of 3 years.

Arms & Interventions
Arm A
Subjects will receive the current standard of care treatment. Lenalidomide and dexamethasone for four 28-day cycles followed by steam cell collection and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant. After 90 days, start the maintenance phase (lenalidomide days 1-21 every 28 days for two years or until your disease progresses).
Intervention: Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant (Procedure)
