Detailed Description
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the safety and effectiveness of an investigational combination of drugs to learn whether the combination of drugs works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the combination of drugs is being studied. It also means that the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not yet approved the combination of drugs for your type of cancer.
Each of the individual drugs, lenalidomide , subcutaneous bortezomib, and dexamethasone, are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The combination has not been approved yet for multiple myeloma or any other type of cancer. Subcutaneous bortezomib is currently approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Lenalidomide is currently approved for use with dexamethasone for patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy and for the treatment of certain types of myelodysplastic syndrome (another form of cancer affecting the blood). Both Bortezomib and Lenalidomide kill tumor cells and help the body cells to fight cancer. Dexamethasone is commonly used, either alone, or in combination with other drugs, to treat multiple myeloma. Dexamethasone heps to reduce irritation and cell injury (inflammation).
In this research study, the investigators are looking to explore the drug combination of lenalidomide, subcutaneous bortezomib and dexamethasone to see what side effects it may have and how well it works for treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. This 3 drug regimen showed promising results in previous studies, however administration of intravenous bortezomib caused high levels of nerve injury (a condition involving the nerves of the upper and lower extremities associated with numbness, tingling and burning). In this study, the investigators are testing the hypothesis that subcutaneous administration of bortezomib will result in less nerve toxicity. Therefore, the combination of lenalidomide, dexamethasone and subcutaneous bortezomib may be better tolerated and may allow for a longer duration of therapy.

Experimental: Lenalidomide, subcutaneous Bortezomib, Dexamethasone
Lenalidomide (R): 25 mg on days 1-14 orally Subcutaneous Bortezomib (sqV): 1.3 mg/m^2 on days 1, 4, 8 and 11 Dexamethasone (d): 20 mg on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 and 12 Stem cell mobilization occurs at the end of Cycle 4. Participants may elect to stop treatment at the end of Induction Cycle 4 and proceed to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) with melphalan 200 mg/m^2 conditioning, or receive a full 8 cycles of RsqVd induction therapy. RsqVd cycle duration is 21-days. Maintenance follows with the specific regimen determined by risk category. High-risk participants defined as those with International Staging System (ISS) stage II or stage III disease and/or high-risk cytogenetics including t(4;14), t(4; 16), del(17p) receive sqV of 1.3 mg/m^2 on days 1 and 15 in addition to R 10mg (15mg after cycle 3 if tolerated) on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle.
