About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Response Adapted Therapy Using Single Agent Lenalidomide in Older Adults With Newly Diagnosed, Standard Risk Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this research is to estimate the effectiveness of a response adapted approach with the use of the drug, lenalidomide in the treatment of older adults with newly diagnosed standard risk multiple myeloma. This means that participants will be given the study drug, lenalidomide but depending on how they respond to this drug they may also be given dexamethasone and/or prednisone to help with their treatment.

Read the detailed description

Summary: Patients will be started on the study drug, lenalidomide on Day 1, Cycle 1. Lenalidomide is a capsule that is to be taken orally (by mouth). If the patient's disease progresses after 2 cycles of therapy, a low dose of dexamethasone will be added. If the patient's disease is stable after 2 cycles of therapy, the use of an alternate corticosteroid (prednisone) will be added to the lenalidomide therapy they are receiving. Dexamethasone and prednisone are in tablet form and will be taken orally (by mouth). However, if the patient has a minimal response after an additional 2 cycles of lenalidomide therapy, the therapy will be continued until their disease progresses. See the intervention descriptions for further details.

What is being measured

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

  1. Combined Therapy - Median Progression Free Survival

    Progression free survival (PFS) of older adults with mildly symptomatic multiple myeloma treated on this response adapted approach (i.e. time from start of lenalidomide to failure of lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone)

    Measured: up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Response Rate

    Response rate in older adults with mildly symptomatic multiple myeloma to single agent lenalidomide, lenalidomide prednisone and lenalidomide low dose dexamethasone in patients with suboptimal responses to lenalidomide monotherapy. The study used the uniform response assessment of the International Myeloma Working Group with the addition of MR (minimal response) (Durie et al, 2006; Kumar et al, 2016). MR was defined as a 25-49% decrease in serum M spike, and a 50-89% improvement in urine M spike. For patients without a measurable serum or urine M spike, a 25-49% decrease in the difference between the involved and uninvolved free light chains was required. The response in this trial is defined as complete remission (CR), stringent complete remission (SRC), very good partial remission (VGPR) and partial remission (PR) and minimal response (MR).

    Measured: Every 8 weeks up to 12 months

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

    Number of participants with serious adverse events

    Measured: Day 1 through Off Study Date, an average of 48 months

  3. Single Agent - Median Progressive Free Survival (PFS)

    The progression free survival of patients treated with single agent lenalidomide

    Measured: First measure at 8 weeks

  4. Number of Participants With 1 Year Overall Survival (OS)

    The 1 year overall survival of older adults with mildly symptomatic multiple myeloma treated on this response adapted approach

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide, Prednisone and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 15 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 13 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Feb 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Combined Therapy - Median Progression Free Survival (time frame: up to 36 months). 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 13 Oct 2021.
