Administration of an Oral PDE5 Inhibitor, Tadalafil in Conjunction With Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Patients With Multiple Myeloma
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of tadalafil in
combination with Lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Rd) in multiple myeloma.
combination with Lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Rd) in multiple myeloma.
This is an early phase study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of
tadalafil with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) or BiRd. 19 patients on Rd or BiRd will be
treated with tadalafil for a minimum of 6 months. The investigational drug will be
discontinued if there is evidence of disease progression as defined by the International
Uniform Response criteria [1]. For responding patients (patients who have a CR, VGPR, PR or
SD), the therapy will be continued until progression or intolerable adverse effects. Blood
and bone marrow will be collected for various studies as detailed in section 14.10. Clinical
response will be monitored every month during the study.
