Lenalidomide-Adriamycin-Dexamethasone (RAD) Induction Followed by Stem Cell Transplant in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Procedure: allogeneic stem cell transplant versus second autologous transplantation
Drug: RAD
Registration Number
NCT00925821
Lead Sponsor
Wuerzburg University Hospital
Brief Summary

Subjects up to the age of 65 years with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma requiring treatment are eligible. Minimal pretreatment (2 cycles of chemotherapy; local irradiation; surgery) is permitted. After enrollment, patients are to receive four cycles of RAD induction treatment: a combination of lenalidomide (Revlimid), adriamycin, and dexamethasone. If at least a minimal response is achieved to RAD, they will undergo chemomobilization (cyclophosphamide, etoposide) of peripheral blood stem cells and one uniform cycle of high-dose melphalan chemotherapy followed by a first stem cell transplant. If any of the high-risk features (such as elevated beta 2-microglobulin, adverse cytogenetic factors, elevated LDH, Ig A isotype) were present at diagnosis, patients will be allocated to a consolidative allogeneic transplant following dose-reduced conditioning. If no appropriate donor is available, the patient does not consent or lacks of high-risk features a second autograft following high-dose melphalan will be delivered. All patients will proceed to lenalidomide maintenance (one year) following hematopoietic reconstitution.
