Measure
Treatment (Clarithromycin, Dexamethasone, Lenalidomide)
Patients receive clarithromycin orally twice daily and dexamethasone orally once a week. Treatment with clarithromycin and dexamethasone continues for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive lenalidomide orally once daily on days 1-14. Courses with lenalidomide repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Lenalidomide is taken 4 hours or more after last dose of daily clarithromycin. NOTE: \*After one year of treatment, dexamethasone is tapered for an additional 4 weeks. Clarithromycin: Given Orally (PO) Dexamethasone: Given PO Lenalidomide: Given PO
