Key Eligibility Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed multiple myeloma in accordance with the clinical diagnostic criteria set forth by the International Myeloma Working Group
  • Relapsed from complete response following previous therapy
  • Measurable disease defined as one or more of the following:
    • Serum monoclonal protein ≥ 1 gm/dL
    • Urine monoclonal protein of ≥ 200 mg/24 hours
    • Measurable free light chains by free light chain assay of ≥ 10 mg/dL with abnormal kappa to lambda free light chain ratio
    • Measurable bone disease, defined as ≥ 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion (longest diameter to be recorded) ≥ 20 mm with conventional techniques or ≥ 10 mm with spiral CT scan (for patients with lytic bone disease)
  • ≥ 18 years of age
  • ECOG 0–2
  • Adequate organ and bone marrow function
  • No significant cardiovascular disease (New York Heart Association Class III or IV cardiac disease)
  • Able to swallow whole tablets

  • No serious illness that would preclude study participation

Study Outline:

  • Bortezomib is given by subcutaneous (SC) (under the skin) injection; lenalidomide and dexamethasone are tablets given by mouth
  • Each course of study treatment lasts 21 days (1 cycle); cycles continue as long as the disease does not get worse and there are no serious side effects
  • Up to eight 21-day cycles; following cycle eight, if the disease is stable or better, participants will receive bortezomib SC at the dose given at the end of cycle eight
  • Participants will be monitored with blood samples, physical examinations, and tumor imaging studies through the cycles of treatment

Additional Information:

  • This trial will be conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. It is open to patients who meet the eligibility requirements, regardless of where they live in the United States.
  • There is no charge for medical care received at NIH Clinical Center.
