What was measured

Evaluation of cytogenetic response requires 20 analyzable metaphases when using conventional techniques. Analysis of data will require 20 metaphases before and after treatment, which must be done on bone marrow only (peripheral blood is not a substitute). Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) may be used as a supplement to follow a specifically defined cytogenetic abnormality, but it is not a substitute for conventional cytogenetic studies. Cytogenetic response is defined as follows: Complete response: Restoration of a normal karyotype in patients with a documented pre-existing clonal (\>2 metaphases abnormal) chromosome abnormalities. Partial response: \> 50% reduction in the percentage of bone marrow metaphases with only clonal abnormality.

Analysis population: Evaluable patients randomized to either arm A or arm B who had cytogenetic response data

Groups in this outcome

Arm A (Lenalidomide; Randomization)

Patients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21.

Arm B (Lenalidomide + Epoetin Alfa; Randomization)

Patients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 and epoetin alfa SC once weekly.

Group identifiers and denominators belong to this outcome only. They may differ in another outcome or in safety reporting.
