Trial Information

An Open-Label Phase I Study of the Safety of and Efficacy of RAD001 in Combination With Lenalidomide in the Treatment of Subjects With Relapsed and Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma


- Researchers are looking for the highest doses of RAD001 and lenalidomide used in
combination that can be given safely so small groups of people will be enrolled in
steps in this trial. The first group will be given a certain dose of RAD001 and a
certain dose of lenalidomide. If they have few or manageable side effects, the next
small group of people will be enrolled with a higher dose of RAD001 and/or a higher
dose of lenalidomide. This will continue until the highest dose of the drugs used is
determined.

- Study treatment will be given in 28 day cycles. Both RAD001 and lenalidomide are pills
that are taken orally. Both drugs will be started on the same day. RAD001 will be
taken either every other day or every day for the first 3 weeks (days 1-21) of each
28-day cycle. Lenalidomide will be taken daily for the first 3 weeks (days 1-21) of
each cycle.

- Participants will come to the clinic weekly during the first cycle to monitor side
effects. The following will be performed at these clinic visits: physical examination,
medical history update, questionnaires, and blood work.

- On cycles 2-8, participants will come to the clinic on Day 1 of each cycle. The
following will be performed at this clinic visit: physical examination, medical history
update, questionnaire, and blood word.

- At the end of cycle 8, a skeletal survey, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy will be
performed to check response to study treatment.

- Participants may continue to receive RAD001 and lenalidomide beyond 8 cycles if their
cancer does not get worse and they do not have unacceptable side effects.

- Any condition, including laboratory abnormalities, that in the opinion of the
Investigator, places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate
in the study

- Clinically relevant active infection or serious co-morbid medical conditions such as
recent thromboembolic disease are ineligible if occurred less than 2 weeks prior to
enrollment or clinically unstable

- Chronic obstructive or chronic restrictive pulmonary disease, difficult to control
diabetes, upper gastrointestinal ulceration, and cirrhosis

least 3 years

- Prior treatment with any investigational drug within preceding 4 weeks

- Major surgery, and or radiation with 2 weeks of study initiation

- Uncontrolled leptomeningeal disease

- Prior treatment with other mTOR inhibitors

- The use of G-CSF is not permitted to render the patient eligible fot the study

- POEMS syndrome

- Known HIV infection

- Known active Hepatitis B or C infection

- Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment or has NYHA Class III or IV
heart failure, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, or electrocardiographic evidence
of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities

- Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may
significantly alter the absorption of RAD001
