Measure
Lenalidomide/Gemcitabine
The study began with a lead-in portion to confirm the tolerability of lenalidomide (25mg PO days 1-21) in combination with gemcitabine (1000mg/m2 IV days 1, 8, and 15). After completion of the lead-in phase, all subsequent patients received lenalidomide 25mg PO on days 1-21 and gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 IV days 1, 8, and 15 of 28-day treatment cycles. Patients were instructed to take lenalidomide at approximately the same time each morning. Patients were permitted to continue treatment until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurred.
