| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: - To compare progression free survival with Melphalan/Prednisone (MP)-Thalidomide followed by thalidomide maintenance versus MP-Lenalidomide followed by maintenance with lenalidomide ; Secondary Objective: - To compare (stringent) complete and very good partial response with MP-Thalidomide versus MP-Lenalidomide - To compare overall survival with MP-Thalidomide versus MP-Lenalidomide - To assess and compare overall response* with MP-Thalidomide versus MP-Lenalidomide - To assess time to maximum response with MP-Thalidomide versus MP-Lenalidomide - To assess the effect of maintenance therapy with thalidomide alone following MP-Thalidomide induction or lenalidomide following MP-Lenalidomide, in terms of improvement of response - To assess and compare the time from relapse/progression (after initial response) to death in patients having been treated with MP-Thalidomide versus MP-Lenalidomide - To assess the impact on the quality of life of thalidomide compared with lenalidomide - To assess the safety and toxicity of induction of both regimens * overall response will be defined as (stringent) complete response, very good partial response and partial response ; Primary end point(s): - Progression free survival, defined as time from registration to progression or death from any cause - Response rate (sCR, CR or VGPR) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After cycle 1; 3; 5 ; 7; 9 & every three months during maintenance and every 6 months during Follow-Up. | — |

| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - After cycle 1; 3; 5 ; 7; 9 & every three months during maintenance and every 6 months during Follow-Up. - Quality of life: at baseline; after cycle 3; 9; after 6 and 12 months maintenance & off treatment. ; Secondary end point(s): •Overall response rate defined as sCR, CR, VGPR or PR •Overall survival, measured from time of registration •Quality of response during maintenance, measured as improvement of response (from start maintenance till progression) •Time to maximum response, defined as time from registration to maximum response •Time to death from relapse/progression (after initial response), measured from time of first relapse/progression •Safety and toxicity as defined by type, frequency and severity of adverse events as defined by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria (CTC), version 3.0 •Quality of life as defined by the EORTC QLQ-C30 definitions. | — |
