About this study

Official title: Lenalidomide (Revlimid®), Adriamycin and Dexamethasone (RAD)as an Induction Therapy in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Followed by a Risk-Defined Transplant Strategy and Lenalidomide Maintenance - A Multicenter Phase II Trial by Deutsche Studiengruppe Multiples Myeloma (DSMM XII)

Subjects up to the age of 65 years with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma requiring treatment are eligible. Minimal pretreatment (2 cycles of chemotherapy; local irradiation; surgery) is permitted. After enrollment, patients are to receive four cycles of RAD induction treatment: a combination of lenalidomide (Revlimid), adriamycin, and dexamethasone. If at least a minimal response is achieved to RAD, they will undergo chemomobilization (cyclophosphamide, etoposide) of peripheral blood stem cells and one uniform cycle of high-dose melphalan chemotherapy followed by a first stem cell transplant. If any of the high-risk features (such as elevated beta 2-microglobulin, adverse cytogenetic factors, elevated LDH, Ig A isotype) were present at diagnosis, patients will be allocated to a consolidative allogeneic transplant following dose-reduced conditioning. If no appropriate donor is available, the patient does not consent or lacks of high-risk features a second autograft following high-dose melphalan will be delivered. All patients will proceed to lenalidomide maintenance (one year) following hematopoietic reconstitution.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RADDrug

    After enrollment, patients are to receive four cycles of RAD induction treatment: a combination of lenalidomide (Revlimid), adriamycin, and dexamethasone.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response rate to RAD induction and transplant (stringent CR, CR, very good PR)

    Measured: 9 months from start of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: 9 months from start of treatment

  2. Incidence and relationship of severe adverse events

    Measured: 1 year from start of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing allogeneic stem cell transplant versus second autologous transplantation and RAD in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Wuerzburg University Hospital at 12 sites in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate to RAD induction and transplant (stringent CR, CR, very good PR) (time frame: 9 months from start of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jun 2012.
