Brief Summary

Patients included in the study will receive induction treatment during 6 months, followed by receive high-dose therapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Approximately 3 months after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation patients will receive consolidation treatment during 2 months.

Subsequently patients will start maintenance treatment during 24 months. Therefore, the total duration of the treatment will be approximately 36 months.

Detailed Description

This clinical trial is a multicenter Phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of an intensive therapeutic approach in 90 patients with asymptomatic high risk multiple myeloma (SMM).

1. - Patients will receive an induction treatment consisting of 6 cycles of carfilzomib, lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone (KRd): patients will receive carfilzomib 20-36 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16; with oral lenalidomide 25 mg daily on days 1-21, subsequently there will be a rest period of a week (from day 22 to day 27). Moreover, oral dexamethasone 40mg daily will be administered weekly (days 1, 8, 15 and 22).

2. - Following the induction treatment, patients will receive high-dose (200 mg/m2) melphalan-based treatment administered via the intravenous route followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT).

3. - The consolidation treatment will consist of 2 cycles of KRd, with the same doses and scheduled of the induction treatment.

4. - Maintenance treatment: all patients, without progression to symptomatic multiple myeloma or toxicity requiring discontinuation of the trial, will receive maintenance treatment during 24 cycles.

This maintenance treatment comprises the administration of lenalidomide 10mg on days 1-21, followed by a rest period of 1 week, with the weekly administration of dexamethasone 20mg.

Treatment will be administrated until the end of the maintenance, although patients will continue in the trial.

If biological progression is observed following the discontinuation of the treatment, lenalidomide and dexamethasone will be reinstituted in order to control the disease again. Lenalidomide 10 mg will be administrated on days 1-21 combined with dexamethasone 20mg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22. All patients will be monitored for asymptomatic disease progression and to collect data regarding on overall survival (OS).

Study Groups

Carlizomib lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone

Induction treatment: patients included in the trial will receive an induction treatment for approximately 6 months (6 cycles of carfilzomib, lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone (KRd)). After the third cycle of KRd, all patients will be mobilized with colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) alone to collect peripheral blood stem cell for the ASCT.

High dose therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation: patients will receive melphalan 200 mg/m2 via intravenous followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT).

Consolidation treatment: approximately 3 months after the autologous stem cell transplantation, patients will receive consolidation treatment for 2 months (2 cycles of carfilzomib, lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone (KRd)).

Maintenance treatment: subsequently they will start a maintenance treatment that will be administered for approximately 24 months (24 cycles of lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• In the investigator's opinion, the patient must be able to fulfill all the clinical trial requirements.
• The patient must voluntarily sign the informed consent before any study procedure that is not part of the standard of care for these patients is performed, with the patient's knowledge that he/she may withdraw from the study at any time, without prejudice to his/her future care.
• The patient must be aged between 18 and 70 years, and eligible to receive high-dose therapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
• The patient must be diagnosed with smoldering multiple myeloma at high risk of progressing to symptomatic multiple myeloma, or at ultra high risk of progression to symptomatic disease, defined by:
• smoldering multiple myeloma at high risk of progression to symptomatic disease:

Bone marrow infiltration with plasma cells (PCs) greater than or equal 10% and presence of a monoclonal component, immunoglobulin G (IgG) greater than3 g/dL or IgA greater than 2 g/dL or Bence Jones proteinuria greater than 1 g/24h and absence of lytic lesions, hypercalcemia, renal failure (creatinine less than 2 mg/dL) and anemia (hemoglobin greater than 10 gr/dL or not 2 gr/dL below the lower limit of normal).

Bone marrow infiltration with PCs greater than or equal 10% OR IgG greater than 3 g/dL or immunoglobulin A (IgA) greater than 2 g/dL or Bence Jones proteinuria greater than 1g/24h (but not both together) and always in the absence of lytic lesions, hypercalcemia, renal failure and anemia. These patients may be included in the study if they meet the following additional criteria: A percentage of phenotypically aberrant plasma cells (PCs) within the bone marrow (BM) PC compartment (aPC/ BM PC) greater than or equal 95% and immunoapheresis, defined as a reduction in the levels of 1 or 2 immunoglobulin (Igs) of more than 25% compared with the normal values of the corresponding Ig.

• smoldering multiple myeloma at ultra high risk of progression to symptomatic disease:
