Elotuzumab and Lenalidomide After Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

April 10, 2026 updated by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Phase II Study of the Combination of Elotuzumab With Lenalidomide as Maintenance Therapy Post Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial studies how well elotuzumab works when given with lenalidomide as maintenance therapy after transplant in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who underwent transplant using their own stem cells (autologous transplant). Maintenance therapy is treatment that is given to help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared following the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as elotuzumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Adding elotuzumab to standard maintenance therapy with lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma who have undergone transplant.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Establish activity of elotuzumab and lenalidomide in the maintenance setting post autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in myeloma patients.

II. Progression free survival (PFS).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Progression free survival 2. II. Overall survival. III. Determine incidence of secondary primary malignancy. IV. Evaluate the best response rate (stringent complete response [sCR]/very good partial response [VGPR]/partial response [PR]) based on International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria.

V. Evaluate time to progression. VI. Evaluate time to next therapy. VII. Evaluate the tolerability and toxicity. VIII. Perform MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI)-Myeloma symptom evaluation.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive elotuzumab intravenously (IV) over 2-4 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 21 of courses 1-2 and on day 1 of each subsequent course. Patients also receive lenalidomide orally (PO) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Major surgery within 14 days before the first dose of study drug

  • Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease that, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens

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
Progression free survival
Time Frame: The time from autologous stem cell transplantation to the time of clinical progression, death, whichever occurs first or the time of last contact, assessed up to 48 months
Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test will be performed to test the difference in time-to-event distributions between patient groups. Cox proportional hazards model may be used to include multiple covariates in the time-to-event analysis.
The time from autologous stem cell transplantation to the time of clinical progression, death, whichever occurs first or the time of last contact, assessed up to 48 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.
