A forward-looking study to assess disease remission in patients with newly diagnosed blood cancer (multiple myeloma) who will be treated with a combination of three drugs followed by transplantation of own blood stem cells and maintainance therapy with one of the drugs (lenalidomide). Disease remission is measured with a method which can determine the presence of cancer cells in the bone marrow.

A prospective phase II study to assess immunophenotypic remission after three-drug in-duction followed by randomized stem cell mobilization, autologous stem cell transplantation and lenalidomide maintenance in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma - First line treatment of myeloma with RVD, autologous stem cells and lenalidomide maintainance

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Age 18 - 70 years - Written informed consent - Patients with a symptomatic, previously untreated, ISS 1-3 multiple myeloma - Measurable disease: serum paraprotein > 10g/l or urine paraprotein > 200mg/24 hours or abnormal free light chain ratio - WHO performance status 0-3 (if WHO 3, must be related to myeloma, not due to comor-bidities) - Eligible for ASCT - Sufficient renal function, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessed by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula (MDRD) > 15 ml/min unless on hemodialysis - Women of childbearing potential (WCBP) must have a negative serum or urine preg-nancy test prior to starting lenalidomide. In addition, sexually active WCBP must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (oral, injectable, patches, or implantable hormonal contraceptive methods; tubal ligation; intra-uterine device; barrier contraceptive with spermicide; or vasecomized partner) while on lenalidomide. WCBP must agree to have pregnancy tests every 4 weeks while on lenalidomide. - Males (including those who have had a vasectomy) must use barrier contraception (latex condoms) when engaging in reproductive sexual activity with WCBP while on lenalidomide, when temporarily stopping lenalidomide and 28 days after the last dose of lenalidomide.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objectives of this study is to determinate the rate of immunophenotypic remission after induction treatment with Revlimid Velcade Dexamethasone (RVD) prior to high-dose melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT), after HDT-ASCT, and during lenalidomide maintenance in patients with multiple myeloma.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): 1) Complete response rate (including nCR/CR rate, immunophenotypic remission of nCR/CR patients and molecular remission of patients in immunophenotypic remis-sion/stringent CR) after induction treatment (3 cycles) and 3-4 months after ASCT 2) Improvement of responses during lenalidomide maintenance 3) Progression-free survival after study inclusion (comparison to VelDex-study) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - At entry: before start of induction ( skeleton x-ray and cytogenetic tests in 3 months before start and laboratory and bone marrow in 2 weeks before start) - After 2 RVD - After 3 RVD - After mobilization/At ASCT - After ASCT: 2-3 months after ASCT - During maintenance first year: with 3 months interval - Second year: with 4 months interval

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1) Feasibility of subcutaneous use of bortezomib as a part of induction therapy in myeloma patients 2) Feasibility of three-drug combination induction therapy (discontinuation of therapy, de-crease of doses) 3) nCR/CR rate after 2 cycles, at mobilization; 3 months, 6 months, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24 months after ASCT 4) Overall response rate 5) Number of CD34+ cells collected after low-dose CY + G-CSF vs. G-CSF alone-mobilization, number of aphereses and costs according to the mobilization arm, graft composition 6) Duration of treatment 7) Overall survival from the study inclusion ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 2 cycles, at mobilization; 3 months, 6 months, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24 months after ASCT
