Assessed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years, then annually for 10 years from the date of randomization.

What was measured

Overall survival was defined as time from randomization to death from any cause.

Analysis population: Intention-to-treatment (ITT) population

Groups in this outcome

Arm I (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.

Arm II (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. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression.
