E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the Progression-Free Survival of lenalidomide/low-dose dexamethasone + elotuzumab (LdE) versus lenalidomide/low-dose dexamethasone (Ld) in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). |

- To assess the time to subsequent therapy in each arm
- To assess the Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) outcomes (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-MY20) and the Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (BPI-SF).
- To measure the serum concentrations of elotuzumab, in the presence of lenalidomide and dexamethasone
- To evaluate the immunogenicity of elotuzumab. |
