Time frame
Administered at registration, the beginning of cycle 7 d1, the end of cycle 12 d28, then at the end of cycle 18, 24, and 38 d28. For patients who discontinue treatment early, assessed at time of discontinuation and at the next quarterly follow-up visit.

What was measured

A combined scale was used to assess the quality of life (QOL) comprising of the well established and validated functional well-being (FWB) and physical well-being (PWB) components of FACT-G version 4 (14 questions), which will address the physical and functional well-being of multiple myeloma patients plus the FACT-neurotoxicity (NTX, 11 questions), which will evaluate symptoms of neurotoxicity. This pooled scale is referred to as the FACT Ntx TOI. The FACT-Ntx TOI has 25 items and the score ranges from 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome).

Analysis population: Patients who completed both baseline and cycle 12 QOL assessments.

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.
