Adverse events

Melphalan, Prednisone, and Thalidomide or Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma · Source last updated 2026-08-28

Results reported by the registry submitting party. Population, time horizon, units and missing values must be read together.

Adverse events occurred during the study; they are not necessarily caused by treatment. Serious events are not interchangeable with severe/grade 3–4 events. These safety populations may differ from efficacy populations.

Collection time frame
Assessed every 28 days while on treatment and for 30 days after the end of treatment

MPT-T

Patients receive melphalan, prednisone and thalidomide induction plus thalidomide maintenance (MPT-T). INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive melphalan PO and prednisone PO daily on days 1-4, and thalidomide PO daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive thalidomide PO daily and continue in the absence of disease progression.

mPR-R

Patients receive lower-dose melphalan, prednisone and lenalidomide (Revlimid®) induction plus lenalidomide maintenance (mPR-R). INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive melphalan PO and prednisone PO daily on days 1-4, and lenalidomide PO on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive lenalidomide PO daily on days 1-21.
