Scientific titlePhase II study of the adjuvant use of lenalidomide in patients undergoing reduced intensity conditioning allogenic transplantation for multiple myeloma
Study acronymLenaRIC
Study objectivesAllogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) remains the only curative option for multiple myeloma (MM). However, conventional (myeloablative) transplants remain associated with a substantial transplant related mortality which compromises effectiveness in younger patients and precludes their use entirely in patients over the age of 55 years. The recent demonstration that the use of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens substantially reduces the toxicity of allografting, whilst permitting durable donor stem cell engraftment, has raised the hope of extending this procedure to many patients who would currently not be considered for transplantation. Donor lymphocytes can be safely administered in patients who relapse late after transplantation. Routine use of donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) early after transplant is generally avoided, as the risk of GVHD increases the sooner DLI is administered after transplant. In the context of myeloma, the strategy of delayed DLI (at one year) reduces the risk of GVHD. Consequently, an independent anti-myeloma strategy early after transplantation is required to allow sufficient delay before DLI can be safely administered. The tolerability and remarkable activity of lenalidomide against myeloma makes it an excellent candidate to be used in an adjunctive role early after a reduced intensity regimen transplant prior to later institution of DLI, to suppress the growth and rapid recovery of a residual myeloma cell population

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHaematological Oncology, Myeloma
InterventionPatients will receive up to 12 cycles of Lenalidomide (or until 12 months post-transplant). Each cycle will last 28 days and patients will receive Lenalidomide on days 1 - 21 of each 28 day cycle. Dose reductions are in place. Follow up length: 24 month(s). Study entry : registration only.

Target number of participants40 patients
Total final enrolment40
Key inclusion criteria1. Multiple myeloma subjects who have received a high dose melphalan conditioned autologous transplant in the preceding 120 days and who are in CR1/2 or VGPR1/2 as defined by International uniform response criteria for Myeloma, 2006 (Appendix 1)
2. Patients 18 to 70 years in whom allogeneic transplantation using a reduced intensity conditioning regimen is not contra-indicated but who are not suitable for conventional allograft
3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status <2 or an ECOG status of 3 if the reason for a status of 3 is due exclusively to multiple myeloma (e.g. pathological fracture) (Appendix 2)
4. Patients with a HLA identical sibling or ten/ten antigen (A,B,C,DR,DQ) matched unrelated donor
5. Cardiac ejection fraction > 40%
6. Measured EDTA Creatinine clearance >50 ml/min
7. Carbon Monoxide Diffusing Capacity (DLCO) >50%
8. Liver function (AST or ALT) < 2.5 x upper limit of normal
9. Patients able to give written informed consent prior to allogeneic transplant, with the understanding that the patient has the right to withdraw from the study at any time, without prejudice
10. Patients willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study
11. Agree to abstain from donating blood (and semen in male subjects) while taking study drug therapy and for 28 days following discontinuation of study drug therapy
12. Agree not to share study drug with another person and to return all unused study drug to the investigator or pharmacist
13. Male or female
14. Upper age limit 70 years
15. Lower age limit 18 years

Updated 10/07/2017: upper age limit changed from 65 to 70 years.

Added 10/07/2017:
7. Patients with known positive serology for HIV/Hepatitis B/Hepatitis C
