    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of bendamustine, lenalidomide and dexamethasone as 2nd-line therapy in patients with refractory/ relapsed multiple myeloma as defined by the combined CR-/VGPR-rate being achieved during the induction treatment phase or within four weeks after administration of the last induction cycle of the BRd regimen.
    Protection of trial subjects
    1. Interim analysis was performed after the first 13 patients have been enrolled 1.1 Efficacy: 4 weeks after the 13th patient had completed the induction phase of the trial. If the number of patients with either complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR) at this interim analysis is 3 or lower, the treatment would have been rejected and the study was stopped early. Otherwise, the trial would continue until a total of 43 patients have been accrued. 1.2 Safety: 4 weeks after the 13th patient had completed the induction phase, by examining the following observed adverse events: grade 4 febrile neutropenia and grade 4 thromboembolic events. If > 3/13 patients experienced any of the described grade 4 adverse events, the trial would have been stopped. 2. Dose modifications in case of predefined AEs 3. Predefined prerequisites for each new treatment cycle 4. Mandatory concomitant medication in case of defined toxicities
    Background therapy
    Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®) day 3 in case of severe neutropenia (treatment continued in all cycles of the induction phase, once pegfilgrastim treatment was indicated) severe neutropenia is defined as • Development of grade 4 neutropenia (ANC < 0.5 x 109/L) at any time of a treatment cycle • Early occurrence of an ANC < 0.75 x 109/L before or at day 15 of a treatment cycle • Any delay of the next treatment cycle due to neutropenia (i.e. due to persistent neutropenia ANC < 1.0 x 109/L on the scheduled day 1 of the following cycle as defined in 13.4) • Development of febrile neutropenia (defined as grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (ANC < 1.0 x 109/L) and fever >=38.5°C) )

    In the induction treatment phase, patients received Bendamustine 75 mg/m2 i.v. on day 1 and day 2 of every 28 day cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles . Bendamustine dose was calculated according to the BSA (body surface area). The BSA had to be determined within 3 days prior to each new cycle of the induction treatment phase. After preparation according to the preparation guidelines of the SmPC and as outlined in the study protocol, bendamustine was administered by intravenous infusion over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 2 of every cycle.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Patients could prematurely switch into the maintenance treatment phase without having completed all 6 induction treatment cycles. Further, not all patients completing the induction treatment have proceeded with the mainenance treatment.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Jun 2012
    The safety cohort, as outlined in the preceding protocol version 1.1 (D)_16.01.2012 of the CTU10.041/BRd-study, was omitted. The safety data of the phase I/II study (RBP-01/08 / OSHO- #077) investigating the safety and tolerability of bendamustine 75mg/m2/d, p.o. on d1+2 and lenalidomide 25mg/d, p.o. on d1-21 have become available and were published at the 17th congress of the European Hematology Association in 2012, Abstract #0848) The data demonstrate the safety and tolerability of the target dose-level of bendamustine 75mg/m2/d, p.o. on d1+2 in combination with lenalidomide 25mg/d, p.o. on d1-21 in patients with pre-treated multiple myeloma. Thus, the safety cohort, was no longer necessary and the appropriate parts of the protocol were deleted (section 1, 3.2, 6, 14.1, 15). Label Change of Ribomustin® in Levact® Bendamustine-hydrochloride had received a marketing authorization in Germany and the following Member States of the EU: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom (UK) for the treatment of patients with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma. Concomitant with this authorization a) the former German trade name Ribomustin® changed into Levact® b) the safety information of the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) changed The study protocol was changed appropriately in section 4.1 and 12.3. To allow patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma without measurable M-protein in the serum or urine but with abnormal elevated serum free light chain concentrations to participate in this clinical trial, the inclusion criterion bullet point #4 in section 7.1 of the study protocol has been extended appropriately. Concomitantly, the efficacy assessments in section 9.2.3 and response criteria to assess the primary and secondary endpoints in section 14.2 and 14.3.1 and appendix 4 and 5 have been changed accordingly. In
    25 Apr 2013
    Allowance to enrol patients with prior lenalidomide treatment: Modification of in-and exclusion criteria regarding the previous prohibition of prior treatment with lenalidomide prior to study entry Extension of the inclusion criterion bullet point # 12 in section 7.1 of the protocol regarding enrolment of patients with prior malignancies Possibility of patients to proceed trial treatment in the maintenance treatment phase if study treatment has to be prematurely terminated in the induction treatment phase due to toxicities. Modification of Efficacy and Survival Assessments of patients withdrawn from study treatment
    17 Dec 2013
    Due to low patient recruitment at the beginning of the study, the study duration was extended for additionally 24 months. Extension of one inclusion criterion regarding the measurability of the disease Patients with non-measurable MM by electrophoresis could be enrolled, if serum IgA levels were > ULN by direct serum-IgA measurement. Only in that case, direct IgA measurement should be used for response assessment. Addition of further rules of drug modification in section 13.8 Bendamustine and Lenalidomide dose modifications for non-hematologic toxicity during a cycle Due to emerging rash following bendamustine administration during study treatment, binding rules for dose modifications for bendamustine related rash became necessary. Addition of further information regarding response assessment in section 14.3.1 and appendix 5 Due to the addition of a fourth possibility of disease measurement (direct IgA measurement in case of patients with non-measurable disease by electrophoresis but show serum IgA levels> ULN), response assessment had been concomitantly adopted.
