Lenalidomide After Donor Stem Cell Transplant and Bortezomib in Treating Patients With High Risk Multiple Myeloma

A Study of Low-dose Lenalidomide After Non-myeloablative Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant With Bortezomib as GVHD Prophylaxis in High Risk Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide after donor stem cell transplant and bortezomib in treating patients with high-risk multiple myeloma. Giving low doses of chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a bortezomib at the time of transplant may stop this from happening. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving lenalidomide after donor stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Stage I Multiple Myeloma; Stage II Multiple Myeloma; Stage III Multiple Myeloma; Refractory Multiple Myeloma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: lenalidomide; Other: laboratory biomarker analysis; Drug: fludarabine phosphate; Radiation: total-body irradiation; Drug: mycophenolate mofetil; Drug: cyclosporine; Drug: bortezomib; Procedure: nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Identify the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and safety of lenalidomide up to 10mg following non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess safety and tolerability of weekly bortezomib following non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant.

II. Obtain estimates of non-relapse mortality. III. Obtain estimates of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). IV. Obtain estimates of 1 year relapse and survival.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of lenalidomide.

PREPARATIVE REGIMEN: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate on days -5 to -3 and undergo total body irradiation (TBI) on day -1.

TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (SCT) on day 0.

GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive standard GVHD prophylaxis comprising cyclosporine orally (PO) twice daily (BID) beginning on day -1 with taper beginning on day 100, mycophenolate mofetil PO BID on days 1-56, and bortezomib subcutaneously (SC) weekly from day 1 to day 91.

MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Beginning on day 100, patients receive lenalidomide PO daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up monthly for 1 year post-transplant.

• Must meet any of these criteria for high risk disease:

  • Relapse or progressive disease according to uniform response criteria within 2 years after starting first-line therapy or within 2 years after autologous stem cell transplant
  • Failure to achieve partial response (PR) within 6 months of staring first-line therapy

  • Chromosome 1p deletion and 1q amplification
  • MyPRS gene expression score equal or higher than 45.2
  • High risk 70 gene expression profile (MyPRS GEP70TM)
  • Any other high risk genetic profile that is determined by future IMWG consensus or by internal myeloma panel consensus; for the latter, any additional criteria will be submitted as an addendum
  • Diagnosis with multiple myeloma between the ages of 18-50
• Must have achieved at least a minor response to any previous regimen according to adapted European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria
• Must have suitable matched sibling or matched unrelated donor for stem cell source

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants must not:

• Have known hypersensitivity to thalidomide or lenalidomide
• Have progressive disease at the time of transplant
• Uncontrolled concurrent significant medical or psychological co-morbidity
• Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy
