Study phase: phase III
Study objective:
- Comparison of Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP) with High Dose Melphalan followed autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT)
- Comparison of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone(VRD) as consolidation versus no consolidation
- Comparison of single versus tandem high dose Melphalan with ASCT
Patient population: Patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma,previously untreated, ISS stages 1-3, age 18-65 years inclusive
Study design: Prospective, multicenter, intergroup, randomized
Duration of treatment: Expected duration of induction, stem cell collection and intensification is 6 - 9 months. Consolidation with VRD will last 2 months Maintenance therapy with Lenalidomide will be given until relapse. All patients will be followed until 10 years after registration.

Official Title: | A Randomized Phase III Study to Compare Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP) With High Dose Melphalan Followed by Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone (VRD) Consolidation and Lenalidomide Maintenance in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma |

Estimated Study Completion Date : | April 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: R1: 4 cycles Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP)
All patients randomized to VMP treatment, will be treated with Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone(VMP, 4 cycles) and will start intensification with VMP between 4 and 6 weeks after stem cell collection.
|
Drug: Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP)
|
Experimental: R1: 1 (2) cycle(s) HDM
All patients randomized to intensification with High Dose Melphalan will start intensification with HDM (in hospitals with a policy of double intensification, patients will be randomized between VMP, 1 HDM and 2 HDM) between 4 and 6 weeks after stem cell collection.
|
Drug: 1 or 2 cycle(s) HDM (High Dose Melphalan)
- Melphalan _ 100 mg/m² _ i.v. rapid infusion _ -3, -2* *Patients with renal insufficiency 100 mg/m2 only at day -3 If a patient is randomized to receive 2 x HDM a second course of High Dose Melphalan may be administered between 2 and 3 months after the first course when the patient achieved at least PR. |
No Intervention: R2: none
No consolidation, patients will continue to Lenalidomide maintenance.
|
|
Experimental: R2: 2 cycles of VRD
In patients randomized to consolidation treatment, 2 cycles of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide,Dexamethasone (VRD) will start at 8 weeks after the end of the last course of VMP or HDM.
|
Drug: 2 cycles of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone (VRD)

- For all registered patients: progression free survival (PFS) as defined by time from registration to progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). [ Time Frame: end of trial (last patient last visit) ]
- For all patients included in R1; PFS as defined by time from randomization R1 to progression or death from any cause whichever comes first [ Time Frame: end of trial (last patient last visit) ]
- For all patients included in R2; PFS as defined by time from randomization R2 to progression or death from any cause whichever comes first [ Time Frame: end of trial (last patient last visit) ]
- Overall survival measured from the time of registration /randomization R1/ randomization R2. Patients still alive or lost to follow up are censored at the date they were last known to be alive. [ Time Frame: end of trial (last patient last visit) ]
- Toxicity [ Time Frame: End of trial (last patient last visit) ]
- Response (PR, VGPR, CR and stringent CR), and improvement of response during the various stages of the treatment. [ Time Frame: end of trial (last patient last visit) ]
