  Purpose

The purpose of the research study is to determine the response rates when Revlimid® is combined with Doxil® and Dexamethasone (Dd-R) in newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma. The study will also evaluate the side effects caused by the combination of these three drugs. This therapy is investigational in the treatment of Multiple Myeloma.

Revlimid® is a drug that alters the immune system and it may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. Revlimid® is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for specific types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and Multiple Myeloma, two different types of blood cancer. It is currently being tested in a variety of other cancer conditions. In this case it is considered experimental.

Doxil® is a form of chemotherapy. It is approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed/ refractory Multiple Myeloma in combination with Velcade.

Dexamethasone is a steroid. It is also approved by the FDA, but not for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma. It is considered a standard part of most myeloma therapies for newly diagnosed patients.

    Progression Free Survival to induction Dd-R followed by maintenance therapy with lenalidomide and dexamethasone as assessed using International Myeloma Working Group Response Definitions

  • Number of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 24 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate the overall survival in response to Dd-R in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with active disease

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) to Evaluate Tolerability [ Time Frame: 24 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Tolerability of full dose Revlimid® with full dose Doxil® in combination with reduced schedule dexamethasone assessed during Cycle 1 and at the start of Cycle 2 using, whenever possible, the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.0.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Induction and Maintenance Therapy

Induction Phase Followed by Maintenance Therapy.

Induction Phase: Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with active disease 20, will be treated with Dd-R as outlined in the Detailed Description.

Maintenance Phase: Patients who complete the induction regimen or those who complete at least 2 cycles of the induction regimen and not showing evidence of progressive disease but cannot tolerate any further chemotherapy could be started on maintenance therapy as outlined in the Detailed Description.

Drug: Lenalidomide, Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin, Dexamethasone
Dd-R: Lenalidomide (Revlimid®)combined with Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil®) and Dexamethasone (Decadron®) as outlined in the Detailed Description.
Other Names:
  • Revlimid®
  • (Lenalidomide)
  • Doxil®
  • (Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin)
  • (Low Frequency Dexamethasone)
  • Dd-R
  • (Doxil®, Decadron® and Revlimid®)

Detailed Description:

Induction Phase:

Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with active disease 20, will be treated with Dd-R as outlined below:

All patients will also receive Levaquin 500 mg by mouth (PO) every day (QD)(or if allergic receive amoxicillin 250 mg PO twice a day [BID]), acyclovir 400 mg PO BID or Valacyclovir 500mg BID and aspirin 81 mg PO QD daily while receiving Dd-R. Aspirin will continue through maintenance. For patients who cannot tolerate aspirin, low molecular weight heparin or therapeutic doses of coumadin may be used in place of aspirin.

  • Doxil® 30mg/m2 on day # 1 to be repeated every 28 days
  • Dexamethasone 40mg per day for 4 days (days 1-4) every 28 days
  • Revlimid® 25mg po daily on days 1-21, followed by 7 days of no therapy, repeated every 28 days.

Maintenance Therapy:

Patients who complete the induction regimen or those who complete at least 2 cycles of the induction regimen and not showing evidence of progressive disease but cannot tolerate any further chemotherapy could be started on maintenance therapy as follows:

  • Revlimid® 15mg or 25mg* po daily on days 1-21, followed by 7 days of no therapy, repeated every 28 days.
  • Dexamethasone 40mg per day for 4 days (days 1-4) every 28 days

All participants will also receive aspirin 81 mg PO QD daily while receiving maintenance. For patients who cannot tolerate aspirin, low molecular weight heparin or therapeutic doses of coumadin may be used in place of aspirin.
