Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged 18 years or greater, either sex 2. Newly diagnosed as having symptomatic multiple myeloma or non-secretory multiple myeloma based on: 2.1. Paraprotein (M-protein) in serum and/or urine 2.2. Bone marrow clonal plasma cells or plasmacytoma 2.3. Related organ or tissue impairment and/or symptoms considered by the clinician to be myeloma related 3. Provide written informed consent 4. Women of childbearing potential and male patients whose partner is a woman of child bearing potential must be prepared to use contraception in accordance with (and consent to) the Celgene approved process for thalidomide and lenalidomide Risk Management and Pregnancy Prevention, or commit to absolute and continuous abstinence 5. Women of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test in accordance with the Celgene approved process for thalidomide and lenalidomide Risk Management and Pregnancy Prevention

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Asymptomatic myeloma 2. Solitary plasmacytoma of bone (patients with previous solitary plasmacytoma that have now progressed to symptomatic or non-secretory myeloma are eligible) 3. Extramedullary plasmacytoma (without evidence of myeloma) 4. Previous or concurrent active malignancies, except surgically-removed basal cell carcinoma of the skin or other in situ carcinomas. Patients with remote histories (greater than 5 years) of other cured malignancies may be entered. 5. Previous treatment for myeloma, except the following: 5.1. Local radiotherapy to relieve bone pain or spinal cord compression 5.2. Prior bisphosphonate treatment 5.3. Corticosteroids within the last 3 months 6. Known history of allergy contributable to compounds containing boron or mannitol 7. Grade 2 or greater (National Cancer Institute [NCI] criteria) peripheral neuropathy 8. Caution is advised in patients with a past history of ischaemic heart disease, pericardial disease, acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease or psychiatric disorders, evidence of impaired marrow function or elevated liver function tests, but exclusion is essentially to be at the discretion of the treating clinician 9. Acute renal failure (unresponsive to up to 72 hours of rehydration, characterised by creatinine greater than 500 µmol/l or urine output less than 400 ml/day or requirement for dialysis) Added 02/06/2016: 1. Documented diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) that meets International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) criteria for high-risk disease 2. Patient has active or prior hepatitis C Added 21/10/2024: 3. Lactating or breastfeeding

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Overall survival 2. Progression-free survival Interim analyses will be presented to the DMEC at approximately yearly intervals and the trial will have a formal interim analysis when half the total number of deaths has been observed. No other formal analyses are planned until after the trial is closed to accrual.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 21/10/2024: 1. Response including CR rate at the end of induction 2. Conversion rate to CR/VGPR for patients who undergo VCD randomisation 3. Toxicity 4. PFS2 5. Relevant biological endpoints Interim analyses will be presented to the DMEC at approximately yearly intervals and the trial will have a formal interim analysis when half the total number of deaths has been observed. No other formal analyses are planned until after the trial is closed to accrual. _____ Previous secondary outcome measures: 1. Response 2.
