Scientific titleRandomised phase III trial for previously untreated multiple myeloma to evaluate two regimens of bortezomib based induction therapy and lenalidomide consolidation followed by lenalidomide maintenance treatment
Study acronymMM5
Study objectivesThe MM5 trial is designed to address two independent primary objectives. The primary
objectives of the study are:
1. Demonstration of non-inferiority of VCD (bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone) induction therapy compared to PAd (bortezomib, adriamycin, dexamethasone) induction therapy with respect to response rate (very good partial remission or better; response criteria of the International Myeloma Working Group [IMWG])
2. Determination of the best of four treatment strategies with respect to progression-free
survival (PFS). The four treatment strategies are defined by PAd versus VCD induction treatment, standard intensification therapy, lenalidomide consolidation and maintenance treatment with lenalidomide for 2 years versus lenalidomide until complete response (CR).

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMultiple myeloma
InterventionPatients are randomised into four treatment arms (A1, A2, B1, B2).

Patients included in arms A1/B1 are treated with 3 cycles PAd (bortezomib 1.3 mg/m^2 intravenous [iv] on days 1, 4, 8 and 11, doxorubicin 9 mg/m^2 iv on days 1 - 4, dexamethasone [Dex] orally [po] 20 mg/d on days 1 - 4, 9 - 12 and 17 - 20).

Patients in arm A2/B2 are treated with 3 cycles VCD (bortezomib 1.3 mg/m^2 iv on days 1, 4, 8 and 11, cyclophosphamide 900 mg/m^2 iv on day 1, dexamethasone po 40 mg/d on days 1 - 2, 4 - 5, 8 - 9, 11 - 12).

Standard intensification treatment will be done according to local protocols.

Thereafter, two cycles of lenalidomide 25 mg/d on days 1 - 21 are given, followed by a lenalidomide maintenance treatment (lenalidomide orally [po] 10 mg/d in the first three months, thereafter 15 mg/d). In arms A1 and A2 lenalidomide maintenance will be given for a period of 2 years, in arms B1 and B2 until a CR is reached.

Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase III
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)VCD (bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone), PAd (bortezomib, adriamycin, dexamethasone)
Primary outcome measure1. Response to treatment (very good partial remission or better) after induction therapy, measured after induction therapy
2. Progression-free survival (i.e., time from randomisation to progression or death from any
cause whichever occurs first), measured at several timepoints during study and follow up if there is a progression of the disease
Secondary outcome measures1. Overall survival defined as time from randomisation to death from any cause. Patients still alive or lost to follow up are censored at the date they were last known to be alive.
2. Response rates (response rates will be assessed using the following subcategories: SD, MR, PR, VGPR [with subgroup nCR], CR, sCR, mCR). Response measured after induction, after intensification, after consolidation and during maintenance.
3. Toxicity ([serious] adverse events CTC grade 3 and grade 4, CTC-AE v4.0), measured at induction, consolidation and maintenance treatment

Completion date11/03/2017
