- Serum immunoglobulin free light chain >= 10 mg/dL AND abnormal serum
immunoglobulin kappa to lambda free light chain ratio
- Monoclonal bone marrow plasmacytosis >= 30% (evaluable disease)
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1 or 2

residual organ function
- Provide informed written consent
- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test
with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10 - 14 days prior to and again
within 24 hours prior to prescribing lenalidomide for cycle 1 (prescriptions must be
filled within 7 days as required by RevAssist), and must either commit to continued
abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth
control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME

with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy; all study participants must
be registered into the RevAssist® program, and be willing and able to comply with the
requirements of RevAssist® mandatory Rev; a female of childbearing potential is a
sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral

months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)
- Willing to return to Mayo Clinic enrolling institution for follow-up
Exclusion Criteria:
- Residual toxicity of > grade 1 from prior therapy
- Other active malignancy < 1 year prior to registration; EXCEPTIONS: Non-melanotic
skin cancer or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix; NOTE: If there is a history of prior

- Any of the following:
- Pregnant women
- Nursing women (lactating females must agree not to breast feed while taking
lenalidomide)
- This study involves an agent that may have genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic
effects; men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ
adequate contraception (condoms, diaphragm, birth control pills, injections,
intrauterine device [IUD], or abstinence, etc.)
- Other co-morbidity which would interfere with patient's ability to participate in
trial, e.g. uncontrolled infection, uncompensated heart or lung disease
- Other concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or any ancillary therapy considered
investigational; NOTE: Bisphosphonates are considered to be supportive care rather
than therapy, and are thus allowed while on protocol treatment
