About this study

Official title: A Randomised Comparison of Daily 25 mg Versus 5 mg Lenalidomide as Maintenance Therapy After High-dose Therapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

This trial is a randomised, parallel-group, multicenter phase III study for maintenance therapy with lenalidomide in patients with multiple myeloma who were treated with high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation as first line therapy.

Read the detailed description

High-dose therapy will be performed as first line treatment. After high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation the patients will be included and randomised. Three month after high-dose therapy all patients will receive consolidation therapy with 6 cycles of lenalidomide 25 mg daily for 21 days every 28 days. Afterwards patients will receive maintenance therapy according to their assigned treatment arm. Randomisation will be performed in a 1:1 ratio to continuous maintenance therapy with either 25mg or 5mg lenalidomide daily for 21 days every 28 days.Randomisation will be stratified by ISS-stage (1+2 vs 3, age (younger than 66 years versus 66 years or older), response after high-dose therapy (CR+vgPR vs PR vs MR/SD. Patients will be treated until disease progression.

What participants receive

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

  • LenalidomideDrug

    Also called Revlimid

    Patients will receive maintenance therapy according to their assigned treatment arm: 25 mg daily for 21 days every 28 days. During the treatment period patients will be seen every 4 weeks until disease progression is documented. All patients who have to discontinue the study drug will be followed until disease progression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lenalidomide in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Gesellschaft fur Medizinische Innovation - Hamatologie und Onkologie mbH at 5 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 15 inclusion and 7 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 19 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

event-free survival (time frame: 6 years). 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 19 Jan 2018.
