Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the association of MelphalanPrednisoneRevlimid MPR as induction treatment for newly diagnosed myeloma patients over age 65 or those under 65 years who refuse or are not eligible for high dose therapy This association might further increase the response rate achieved by the standard oral MP regimen
Detailed Description: In Multiple Myeloma patients the standard treatment is the oral combination of Melphalan and Prednisone MP This approach induces a partial response PR rate of approximately 50 and a complete remission CR rate of 1-5 with a median remission duration of 18-20 months and a median overall survival of 3 years

Recently the combination of oral MP plus thalidomide increased response rate to 80 and complete remission rate to 20 marked cytoreduction is the first step toward a sustained remission period

CC-5013 Revlimid is a thalidomide analogue 50000 times more potent than thalidomide in inhibiting TNF-alfa secretion a potent growth factor for myeloma cells Revlimid represents a novel class of anti-cancer drugs it is active in patients with multiple myeloma who are refractory to conventional and high-dose chemotherapy with a response rate of approximately 30 The association Revlimid plus dexamethasone further increases the response rate induced by Revlimid by an additional 30

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the association of MelphalanPrednisoneRevlimid MPR as induction treatment for newly diagnosed myeloma patients over age 65 or those under 65 years who refuse or are not eligible for high dose therapy This association might further increase the response rate achieved by the standard oral MP regimen

In the first part of the study phase I component different doses of oral Melphalan 018-025 mgKg associated with Prednisone MP will be combined with escalating doses of Revlimid from 5 mgday and administered together This phase will define the MTD of the association In the second part of the study phase II component 30 patients will be treated with MPR at doses defined from phase I component to verify data of response and toxicity
