Experimental: aMIL Arm
Patients receive activated Marrow Infiltrating Lymphocytes (aMIL)
|
Biological: aMIL
On day 0, patients will receive auto transplant followed by Tadalafil and aMIL. At day 60, patients will receive Lenalidomide. Drug: No aMIL On day 0, patients will receive auto transplant followed by Tadalafil. At day 60, patients will receive Lenalidomide. |
Active Comparator: No aMIL
Patients do not receive activated Marrow Infiltrating Lymphocytes (aMIL)
|
Drug: No aMIL
On day 0, patients will receive auto transplant followed by Tadalafil. At day 60, patients will receive Lenalidomide. |
- Feasibility of MILs as Assessed by the Ability to Harvest, Expand, and Infuse the MILs Product [ Time Frame: 120 days ]Feasibility is defined as the ability to harvest, expand, and infuse the MILs product within 120 days. After treating 60 patients with MILs, we will declare MILs not feasible if we can only harvest, expand, and deliver MILs to 40 or fewer patients.
- Toxicity as Determined by Total Number of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 60 days from aMILs harvest until day 60 after transplant ]Total number of adverse events grade 3 or higher that occur from MILs harvest through 60 days after transplant.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]OS assessed by number of participants alive at the end of follow up period.
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Median PFS time equals the time of randomization (in months) until disease progression, death from any cause, or protocol deviation due to lenalidomide dosing (above 10mg), whichever occurs first.
