correlation with response to lenalidomide.
- To further evaluate lenalidomide activity with regards to response assessment
outcome rates, transplantation rate, duration of response (DoR) and durable response rate.
- To evaluate the safety of lenalidomide including rates of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) flare and reactivation.
- To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of lenalidomide in plasma. |
