March 13, 2012 updated by: Pellegrino Musto, IRCCS Centro di Riferimento Oncologico della Basilicata

A Pilot Study of Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Patients With Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia

This is an open label, multicenter, exploratory, single arm, two-stage study aiming to explore efficacy and safety of lenalidomide and dexamethasone combination (LD) as first line therapy in previously untreated patients with primary Plasma Cell leukemia (PPCL).

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

The primary endpoint was response rate according to International Uniform Criteria; secondary endpoints were: i) time to progression (TTP), progression free survival (PFS, and overall survival (OS); ii) percentage of eligible PPCL patients able to mobilize and collect peripheral blood stem cells after LD treatment; iii) percentage of eligible PPCL patients able to undergo autologous or allogeneic stem cells transplantation after LD treatment; iv) serious/severe adverse event (SAEs) rate.
