The purpose of this research is to estimate the effectiveness of a response adapted approach with the use of the drug, lenalidomide in the treatment of older adults with newly diagnosed standard risk multiple myeloma. This means that participants will be given the study drug, lenalidomide but depending on how they respond to this drug they may also be given dexamethasone and/or prednisone to help with their treatment.

  1. description
    Response rate in older adults with mildly symptomatic multiple myeloma to single agent lenalidomide, lenalidomide prednisone and lenalidomide low dose dexamethasone in patients with suboptimal responses to lenalidomide monotherapy. The study used the uniform response assessment of the International Myeloma Working Group with the addition of MR (minimal response) (Durie et al, 2006; Kumar et al, 2016). MR was defined as a 25-49% decrease in serum M spike, and a 50-89% improvement in urine M spike. For patients without a measurable serum or urine M spike, a 25-49% decrease in the difference between the involved and uninvolved free light chains was required. The response in this trial is defined as complete remission (CR), stringent complete remission (SRC), very good partial remission (VGPR) and partial remission (PR) and minimal response (MR).

brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to estimate the effectiveness of a response adapted approach with the use of the drug, lenalidomide in the treatment of older adults with newly diagnosed standard risk multiple myeloma. This means that participants will be given the study drug, lenalidomide but depending on how they respond to this drug they may also be given dexamethasone and/or prednisone to help with their treatment.
detailed Description
Summary: Patients will be started on the study drug, lenalidomide on Day 1, Cycle 1. Lenalidomide is a capsule that is to be taken orally (by mouth). If the patient's disease progresses after 2 cycles of therapy, a low dose of dexamethasone will be added. If the patient's disease is stable after 2 cycles of therapy, the use of an alternate corticosteroid (prednisone) will be added to the lenalidomide therapy they are receiving. Dexamethasone and prednisone are in tablet form and will be taken orally (by mouth). However, if the patient has a minimal response after an additional 2 cycles of lenalidomide therapy, the therapy will be continued until their disease progresses. See the intervention descriptions for further details.
