Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, 3 arm parallel group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three all-oral combinations: lenalidomide with dexamethasone (Rd) in comparison with lenalidomide in association with MP (MPR) and lenalidomide in association with cyclophosphamide - prednisone (CPR) in newly diagnosed symptomatic MM patients. This protocol also provides a substudy designed to observe asymptomatic patients excluded to the protocol that in any case could be inserted in the study.

Detailed description

This is an intergroup multicenter, randomized, open label study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of Rd with MPR and CPR in newly diagnosed symptomatic MM patients who are 65 years of age or older. Potential study subjects will sign an informed consent prior to undergoing any study related procedure. This study consists of 3 phases for each study subject: Pre-treatment, Treatment and Follow up.Pre-treatment period: patients will undergo screening for protocol eligibility within 28 days (4weeks) prior to randomization. Subjects who meet all the inclusion criteria will be randomized based on a computer-generated randomization schedule prepared by the Coordinating Centre. The first randomization will occur for the induction treatment: Arm A (Rd) or B (MPR) or C (CPR). Within each arm patients will be then randomized for the maintenance treatment(lenalidomide or lenalidomide and prednisone): Arms A1 (R) and A2 (RP); Arms B1 (R) and B2 (RP); Arms C1 (R) and C2 (RP). Randomization will be concealed until the end of the induction period for the maintenance treatment. Patients will be stratified at randomization according to the International Staging System (5) and age (\< 75 years vs \> 75 years).Treatment period includes induction and maintenance. During the induction and maintenance phases, all patients will attend periodic study center visits in order to asses the safety and efficacy of the treatment. This protocol also provides a substudy designed to observe asymptomatic patients excluded to the protocol that in any case could be inserted in the study . The asymptomatic patient is characterized by the absence of end-organ damage or tissue involvement, such as anemia, bone lesions, hypercalcemia, and renal failure, or by other relevant clinical conditions, such as hyperviscosity, amyloidosis, and recurrent infections (CRAB).

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Melphalan, Prednisone, Lenalidomide	Induction: 9 courses every 28 days - oral Lenalidomide for 21 days followed by a 7 days rest period; oral Melphalan for 4 days, followed by a 24 days rest period \[different doses according to the age of patients (65-75 or \>75 years old);oral Prednisone for 4 days followed by a 24 day rest period. Maintenance: ARM A1, B1 and C1 - oral Lenalidomide on day 1-21 followed by a 7 days rest period. ARM A2,B2 and C2:oral Lenalidomide on day 1-21 followed by a 7 days rest period and oral Prednisone every other day.Each cycle will be repeated every 28 days, until any sign of disease progression(PD).
DRUG	Cyclophosphamide, Prednisone, Lenalidomide	Induction: 9 cycles every 28 days:Lenalidomide will be given orally at the dose of 25 mg/day for 21 days followed by a 7 days rest period (day 22 to 28;Cyclophosphamide will be given orally at the dose of 50 mg /day for 21 days followed by a 7 day rest period (days 1 to 28) in patients 65-75 years old and 50 mg every other day (days 1 to 20 followed by a 8 days rest period \[day 21 to 28\]) in patients older than 75 years.Prednisone will be given orally at the dose of 25 mg every other day (days 1 to 28.Each cycle will be repeated every 28 days, until any sign of disease progression(PD).
DRUG	Lenalidomide, dexamethasone	Induction: 9 course every 28 days-Lenalidomide will be given orally at the dose of 25 mg/day for 21 days followed by a 7 days rest period (day 22 to 28); Dexamethasone will be given orally at the dose of 40 mg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 every 28 days in patients 65-75 years old and at the dose of 20 mg on days 1,8,15 and 22 every 28 days in patients older than 75 years. Maintenance:After 2-3 months from the completion of the last induction cycle, patients will start maintenance therapy according to physician willing and general dose-reduction rules.ARM A1, B1 and C1:Lenalidomide will be given at the dose of 10 mg/day on day 1-21 followed by a 7 days rest period. ARM A2, B2 and C2:Lenalidomide will be given at the dose of 10 mg/day on day 1-21 followed by a 7 days rest period; Prednisone will be given orally at the dose of 25 mg every other day (days 1 to 28) Each cycle will be repeated every 28 days, until any sign of disease progression (PD).
