Summary

This phase 1 trial tested the safety of the drug lenalidomide as maintenance therapy after a reduced-intensity stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma. Only 13 people took part, and the study was terminated early. The goal was to see if lenalidomide could help prevent the cancer from coming back without causing too many side effects.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a way to lower the chance of cancer returning after a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma.

What could go wrong

This was a very small, early-phase trial that was terminated early, so results are limited. Lenalidomide can cause serious side effects like low blood counts and graft-versus-host disease.
