Brief Summary  

Newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma who are eligible for the study will be randomized into 2 arms. Patients in the first arm will be given a triplet induction – VPD (Bortezomib-Pomalidomide-Dexamethasone) for 4 cycles. Transplant eligible patients would undergo an autologous stem cell transplantation after 4 cycles and post transplantation would be started on Pomalidomide as maintenance which will be continued for 2 years. Transplant ineligible patients will be put on Pomalidomide maintenance for 2 years.

Patients in the second arm will be given a triplet induction – VLD (Bortezomib-lenalidomide-Dexamethasone) for 4 cycles. Transplant eligible patients would undergo an autologous stem cell transplantation after 4 cycles and post transplantation would be started on lenalidomide as maintenance which will be continued for 2 years. Transplant ineligible patients will be put on Lenalidomide maintenance for 2 years.

Patients in these 2 groups will be followed up for a minimum of 3 years and will be compared for difference in achievement of complete response after 4 cycles of induction, event free survival, overall survival, time to next therapy and complications.


Introduction: A triplet based induction regimen containing a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory is considered the standard of care induction regimen for newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma. Pomalidomide is the newest immunomodulatory agent and has shown significant anti-myeloma activity and response rates in relapsed and refractory myeloma. However, Pomalidomide has never been tried in the upfront treatment of multiple myeloma.

Aims and objectives: To compare the effect of a triplet combination of Bortezomib-Pomalidomide-Dexamethasone vs Bortezomib-Lenalidomide –Dexamethasone in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Methodology: Eligible patients newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups.  One group will receive a triplet regimen containing Bortezomib- Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone (VPD). The other group will receive Bortezomib-lenalidomide-Dexamethasone (VLD) regimen. The patients in the 2 groups will be analyzed for clinical response at the end of 4 cycles.

At the end of 4 cycles, if patients attain more than very good partial response, all transplant eligible patients would be offered an autologous stem cell transplantation. In either of the groups, patients undergoing the autologous stem cell harvest would be given maintenance with the immunomodulatory (Pomalidomide or Lenalidomide) given during induction. The enrollment will be for 2 years.  All patients will be followed up for a minimum period of 3 years and they will be evaluated for 3-year event free survival, overall survival, and grade 3 and 4 toxicity.

Each centre will recruit 40-50 patients for this study.
