Scientific title	Phase II study of the adjuvant use of lenalidomide in patients undergoing reduced intensity conditioning allogenic transplantation for multiple myeloma
Study acronym	LenaRIC
Study objectives	Allogeneic 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
Ethics approval(s)	First MREC approval date 12/11/2010, ref 10/H1208/49
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Haematological Oncology, Myeloma
Intervention	Patients 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.
Intervention type	Drug
Phase	Phase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)	Fludarabine, lenalidomide, ciclosporin, ATG
Primary outcome measure(s)	1. Progression free survival at 2 years post transplant 2. Timepoint(s): 2 years post transplant
Key secondary outcome measure(s)	1. Day +100 and 1 year non-relapse mortality, timepoint(s): day 100 and year 1 2. Disease free survival at 1 and 2 years post transplant, timepoint(s): Markers of disease assessed at months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 post transplant 3. Donor engraftment, timepoint(s): lineage-specific chimerism assessed at months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 post-transplant 4. GVHD, timepoint(s): GVHD will be monitored continuously until 2 years post transplant 5. Overall survival at years 1 and 2 post transplant, timepoint(s): will be monitored continuously until 24 months post-transplant
Completion date	19/12/2017
