Study of Single Agent Lenalidomide in Older Adults With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

October 8, 2021 updated by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

Phase II Study of Response Adapted Therapy Using Single Agent Lenalidomide in Older Adults With Newly Diagnosed, Standard Risk Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this research is to estimate the effectiveness of a response adapted approach with the use of the drug, lenalidomide in the treatment of older adults with newly diagnosed standard risk multiple myeloma. This means that participants will be given the study drug, lenalidomide but depending on how they respond to this drug they may also be given dexamethasone and/or prednisone to help with their treatment.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Summary: Patients will be started on the study drug, lenalidomide on Day 1, Cycle 1. Lenalidomide is a capsule that is to be taken orally (by mouth). If the patient's disease progresses after 2 cycles of therapy, a low dose of dexamethasone will be added. If the patient's disease is stable after 2 cycles of therapy, the use of an alternate corticosteroid (prednisone) will be added to the lenalidomide therapy they are receiving. Dexamethasone and prednisone are in tablet form and will be taken orally (by mouth). However, if the patient has a minimal response after an additional 2 cycles of lenalidomide therapy, the therapy will be continued until their disease progresses. See the intervention descriptions for further details.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Combined Therapy - Median Progression Free Survival
Time Frame: up to 36 months
Progression free survival (PFS) of older adults with mildly symptomatic multiple myeloma treated on this response adapted approach (i.e. time from start of lenalidomide to failure of lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone)
up to 36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Response Rate
Time Frame: Every 8 weeks up to 12 months
Response rate in older adults with mildly symptomatic multiple myeloma to single agent lenalidomide, lenalidomide prednisone and lenalidomide low dose dexamethasone in patients with suboptimal responses to lenalidomide monotherapy. The study used the uniform response assessment of the International Myeloma Working Group with the addition of MR (minimal response) (Durie et al, 2006; Kumar et al, 2016). MR was defined as a 25-49% decrease in serum M spike, and a 50-89% improvement in urine M spike. For patients without a measurable serum or urine M spike, a 25-49% decrease in the difference between the involved and uninvolved free light chains was required. The response in this trial is defined as complete remission (CR), stringent complete remission (SRC), very good partial remission (VGPR) and partial remission (PR) and minimal response (MR).
Every 8 weeks up to 12 months
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events
Time Frame: Day 1 through Off Study Date, an average of 48 months
Number of participants with serious adverse events
Day 1 through Off Study Date, an average of 48 months
Single Agent - Median Progressive Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: First measure at 8 weeks
The progression free survival of patients treated with single agent lenalidomide
First measure at 8 weeks
Number of Participants With 1 Year Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: 1 Year
The 1 year overall survival of older adults with mildly symptomatic multiple myeloma treated on this response adapted approach
