CR and MM• Is CR an adequate surrogate for OS?
• Are all CRs as durable?
• Should we strive for CR pre-transplant?
• What is the role of HDCT for patients in CR pre-transplant?

MM-020: Len + Low-dose Dex vs MPT in Previously Untreated MM
Protocol CC-5013-MM-020/IFM 07-01. 2007; data on file, Celgene Corporation
Inclusion criteria•Previously untreated MM
•Age 65 years or not a candidate for transplantation
•No neuropathy of grade > 2
•CICr > 30 ml/min
• Lenalidomide 25 mg/day, days 1–21, every 28 days• Dexamethasone* 40 mg/day, days 1, 8, 15, 22, every
28 daysUntil PD
• Lenalidomide 25 mg/day, days 1–21, every 28 days• Dexamethasone* 40 mg/day, days 1, 8, 15, 22, every
28 days

*In patients older than 75 years• Dexamethasone 20 mg/day• Thalidomide 100 mg/day• Melphalan 20 mg/kg/day
• Melphalan 0.25 mg/kg/day, days 1–4, every 42 days• Prednisone 2.0 mg/kg/day, days 1–4, every 42 days• Thalidomide* 200 mg/day, days 1–42, every 42 days
12 six-week cycles or until PD
Conclusions• Three drug induction regimen are associated with higher CR
rates compared to two drug regimen.• In the transplant eligible population prospective trials have
shown a higher CR rate and PFS for two drug regimen. Follow-up is too short for analyses of OS.
• In the transplant ineligible population three drug regimes of thalidomide and bortezomib have a OS advantage compared with MP. Whether non-melphalan containing two drug regime may be equivalent is the subject of ongoing trials.
• We have entered an era of risk stratification for deciding therapy. However no consensus has emerged on treatment paradigms.
