CALGB-100104
ECOG-CALGB-100104, NCT00114101

Special Category: CTSU trial, NCI Web site featured trial

Objectives

Primary

  1. Compare the efficacy of lenalidomide vs placebo as maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplantation, in terms of prolonging time to disease progression, in patients with multiple myeloma.

Secondary

  1. Compare the rate of complete response in patients treated with these regimens.
  2. Compare the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  3. Determine the feasibility of long-term treatment with lenalidomide in these patients.

Entry Criteria

  • Patients with smoldering myeloma are eligible provided disease has progressed to ≥ stage I


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • AST ≤ 3 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3 times ULN

Renal

  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective double-method contraception
  • HIV negative
  • No uncontrolled diabetes mellitus

Expected Enrollment

462

A total of 462 patients (231 per maintenance treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 33 months.

Time to progression

Outline

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study.

  • Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization: Patients receive high-dose cyclophosphamide IV over 2-3 hours on day 1 OR IV over 1 hour every 3 hours three times on day 1. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) once daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until PBSC collection is complete. Patients then undergo leukapheresis for collection of PBSC.


  • Autologous PBSC transplantation (PBSCT): Approximately 2-4 weeks after PBSC collection, patients receive melphalan IV over 30-60 minutes on day -2. Patients undergo autologous PBSCT on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover.


  • Maintenance therapy*: Approximately 90-100 days after completion of autologous PBSCT, patients undergo restaging. Patients with disease progression are removed from the study. Patients with responding or stable disease are stratified according to levels of β2 microglobulin at baseline (≥ 2.5 mg/dL vs normal), prior thalidomide (yes vs no), and prior lenalidomide (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 maintenance treatment arms.
    • Arm I: Beginning between day 100-110, patients receive oral lenalidomide once daily.


    • Arm II: Beginning between day 100-110, patients receive oral placebo once daily.


    In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

     [Note: *The maintenance dose is increased to a maximum dose of 3 pills over 3-6 months]



After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 4 years, every 6 months for 5 years, and then annually for 6 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
