Lenalidomide Maintenance after Autologous Transplantation for Myeloma: First Interim analysis of a prospective randomized study of the Intergroupe Francophone du Myélome (IFM 2005-02 trial) By Michel Attal, Gerald Marit, Denis Caillot, Thierry Facon, Philippe Moreau, Cyrille Hulin, Claire Mathiot, Hervé Avet-Loiseau, and Jean-Luc Harousseau. for the IFM
IFM 2005-02 Protocol High dose therapy is a standard treatment for young patients with myeloma. However, a residual disease, responsible for relapse, is always present after single or double transplantation. Effective maintenance treatment would be required However……!

IFM 2005-02 Protocol: Rationale • Lenalidomide was an attractive candidate: • Oral agent • Active among patients who had failed HDT, • Without neurological complications, • Effective and safe when administered for a long time
IFM 2005-02: Study design Phase III randomized, placebo-controlled trial N= 614 patients, from 78 centers, enrolled between 7/2006 and 8/2008 Patients < 65 years, with non-progressive disease, 6 months after ASCT in first line Randomization: stratified according to Beta-2m, del13, VGPR Consolidation: Lenalidomidealone 25 mg/day p.o. days 1-21 of every 28 days for 2 months Arm A= Placebo (N=307) until relapse Arm B= Lenalidomide (N=307) 10-15 mg/d until relapse Primary end-point: PFS. Secondary end-points: CR rate, TTP, OS, feasibility of long-term lenalidomide…. ASCT = autologous stem cell transplant. IFM = Intergroupe Francophone du Myelome.
The IFM 2005 02 trial: First Interim Analysis • Primary endpoint: PFS • Powered to show a improvement in 4-year PFS: 37.5% vs 50% • 572 / 614 patients received consolidation • According to the first amendment (9/2006) • Responses and progressions confirmed by Medical Monitor • First interim analysis: 12/2009, • Cut off date: 4th september 2009 , • Median follow up: 24 mo post random, 34 mo post diagnostic • DMC suggested to unblind the study • Significant difference of PFS in favour of arm B • Patients will continue treatment in their initial treatment arm

Grade 3-4 Adverse Events during Maintenance Definitive Discontinuation for SAE: placebo = 4% vs lenalidomide = 6% (NS)
IFM 2005-02: First Interim Analysis (Cut off date 4th September 2009) • Maintenance therapy with Lenalidomide: • Is well tolerated: • Low discontinuation rate due to SAE (A=4%vs B=6%, NS) • No increased incidence of DVT or peripheral neuropathy • Is superior to placebo: • 54% reduction risk of progression (p < 10-7) • In all stratified subgroups (VGPR, ß2m, del 13) • A longer follow-up is required to appreciate the impact of Lenalidomide on OS (Final analysis: 8/2010)
