Study Overview
Brief Summary
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide and how well it works in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have undergone stem cell transplant. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safety and efficacy of maintenance lenalidomide post autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) for elderly patients with AML (AML).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To define maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and establish therapeutic dose level (TDL) of lenalidomide given post autologous transplant for AML.
II. To determine the progression free survival for patients treated with this approach.

- •Prior history of metastatic malignancy
- •Uncontrolled illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements; patients must not have suffered recent (< 6 months) myocardial infarction, unstable angina, uncontrolled hypertension, or difficult to control cardiac arrhythmias

- •Men who did not agree not to father a child and who refused to use a latex condom during any sexual contact with women of childbearing potential while taking lenalidomide and for 4 weeks after therapy is stopped, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy
Arms & Interventions
Treatment (lenalidomide)
Patients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Courses repeat 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Intervention: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis (Other)
Treatment (lenalidomide)
Patients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Courses repeat 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Intervention: Lenalidomide (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Relapse Free Survival Rate
Time Frame: initial 2 years after treatment begins
The Relapse free survival rate is defined as the Leukemia free survival rate during the first two years after and during the initiation of treatment . The observed relapse free survival rate will be calculated along with its 95% confidence interval. A one sample test on proportion will be used to detect if the relapse free survival rate with lenalidomide is significantly higher than that without the treatment (relapse rate is expected to be \> 95%).
Secondary Outcomes
- Overall Survival(From transplant until death of any cause, assessed up to 5 years)
