Multiple Myeloma Treated With Thalidomide Before Autotransplant or With Conventional Chemotherapy and as Consolidation/Maintenance Treatment in Young and Elderly Patients : 3 Randomized Studies.

The aim of the study was to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of Thalidomide in first-line treatment of multiple myeloma as induction treatment in young patients, with Dexamethasone before autotransplant, and in elderly patients in combination with conventional chemotherapy and as consolidation/maintenance therapy in young and elderly patients at plateau-phase.

About this study

MY-TAG : Thalidomide as induction treatment before high dose therapy, in young patients MY-DECT : Thalidomide as induction treatment with conventional chemotherapy, in elderly patients MY-PLAT : Thalidomide and Dexamethasone at plateau-phase, after high dose therapy or conventional chemotherapy

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • for MY-TAG(auto-transplant): age 18-65, multiple myeloma Salmon-Durie stage II, stage III and symptomatic stage I (lytic bone lesion or a 25 % increase of monoclonal protein)
  • for MY-DECT (conventional chemotherapy) : qge 66-80, multiple myeloma Salmon-Durie stage II, stage III and symptomatic stage I (lytic bone lesion or a 25 % increase of monoclonal protein)
  • for MY-PLAT (maintenance at plateau-phase): patients treated in MY-TAG or MY-DECt with at least a minimal response (25 % decrease of M protein)3-6 months after autotransplant or last chemotherapy

Exclusion criteria

  • for MY-TAG : age 66 or more, smoldering stage I multiple myeloma, previous therapy, plasma cell leukemia,creatinine > 300 micromol/L, liver failure, anthracycline contra-indicated, thalidomide contra-indicated, corticosteroid contra-indicated
  • for MY-DECT : age < 66 or > 80, smoldering stage I multiple myeloma, previous therapy, plasma cell leukemia,creatinine > 300 micromol/L, liver failure, thalidomide contra-indicated, corticosteroid contra-indicated
  • for MY-PLAT : no response or progressive disease, randomization > 6 m since autotransplant or last chemotherapy, creatinine > 300 micromol/L, liver failure, thalidomide contra-indicated, corticosteroid contra-indicated

Treatment and study plan

Thalidomide, Dexamethasone

Drug

Thalidomide 200 mg/d for 3 months, Dexamethasone 40 mg/d D1-D4 and D14-D17 for 28d-3 cycles

Vincristin , Adriamycin, Dexamethasone = VAD

Drug

Vincristin 0.4 mg/d continUous IV infusion D1-D4, Adriamycin 9 mg/m2 continuous IV infusion D1-D4, Dexamethasone 40 mg/d oral D1-D4 and D15-D18 for 2 first cycles, D1-D4 for the 3d cycle

Thalidomide, melphalan, endoxan, dexamethasone (MCDex-Thal)

Drug

Thalidomide : 200 mg/d at bedtime for 3 months , melphalan: 6 mg/m2 oral D1-D4, endoxan 600 mg/m2 IV D1, dexamethasone 40 mg/d oral D1-D4 for 28-d 4 cycles

melphalan, endoxan, dexamethasone (MCDex)

Drug

melphalan: 6 mg/m2 oral D1-D4, endoxan 600 mg/m2 IV D1, dexamethasone 40 mg/d oral D1-D4 for 28-d 4 cycles

Primary outcomes

  1. very good partial response rate (monclonal protein decrease of 90 % or more)at the end induction phase (MY-TAG and MY-DECT), progression free survival during consolidation/maintenance treatment (MY-PLAT)

    Time frame: before autotransplant (MY-TAG), after 4 cycles (MY-DECT), every 6 months (MY-PLAT)

Secondary outcomes

  1. partial response rate (> or = 50%), PFS and OS since diagnosis, safety thalidomide + chemotherapy
