Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Pilot Study of Lenalidomide, Melphalan and Dexamethasone in AL Amyloidosis (NCT NCT00890552)

NCT ID: NCT00890552

Last Updated: 2017-03-22

Results Overview

At the end of each treatment cycle (4 weeks), hematologic response rate as assessed. Hematologic response was considered to be amyloid complete response (normal FLC ratio and negative serum and urine immunofixation); very good partial response (difference between involved and uninvolved FLCs \[dFLC\] \< 40 mg/L); or partial response (dFLC decrease \> 50%).

Measure
Lenalidomide, Melphalan and Dexamethasone (MDR)
The 3-drug combination of orally-administered lenalidomide; melphalan; and dexamethasone (MDR) will be administered as nine 28-day cycles, with the option of continuing treatment with lenalidomide as single-agent. Lenalidomide: Orally-administered lenalidomide 10 mg will be taken daily on days 1 to 21 of 28-day cycle. Lenalidomide is a a derivative of thalidomide. Melphalan: Orally-administered melphalan 0.18 mg/kg will be taken on days 1 to 4 of a 28-day cycle. Melphalan is a phenylalanine derivative of mechlorethamine. Dexamethasone: Orally-administered dexamethasone 40 mg will be taken on days 1; 8; 15; and 22 of a 28-day cycle. Dexamethasone is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant steroid medication.
