Can lenalidomide keep myeloma at bay after transplant?
NCT ID NCT00430365
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tested whether taking lenalidomide (Revlimid) after an autologous stem cell transplant helps people with myeloma stay in remission longer. Over 600 participants under age 65 who had no signs of progression after transplant were randomly assigned to receive lenalidomide or a placebo. The study aimed to see if maintenance therapy could prolong the duration of response and improve survival.
