Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone, and Elotuzumab With or Without Cyclophosphamide in Treating Patients With Relapsed Primary Amyloidosis
Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone, and Elotuzumab With or Without Cyclophosphamide in Treating Patients With Relapsed Primary Amyloidosis
This randomized phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and eotuzumab
 with or without cyclophosphamide work in treating patients with primary amyloidosis that has
 come back after a period of improvement. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide,
 dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer
 cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
 spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as eotuzumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer
 cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and eotuzumab with
 cyclophosphamide may work better in treating patients with primary amyloidosis.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

 I. To assess the rate of hematologic response of very good partial response (VGPR) or better
 according to the International Society of Amyloidosis (ISA) hematologic response criteria.

 SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

 I. To assess duration of hematologic response. II. To assess time to hematologic progression.
 III. To assess overall hematologic response rate. IV. To assess complete hematologic response
 rate. V. To assess organ response (according to ISA organ response criteria). VI. To assess
 overall survival (OS).

 OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

 ARM I: Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) on days 1-21 and dexamethasone intravenously
 (IV) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Patients also receive elotuzumab IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8,
 15, and 22 of courses 1 and 2 and days 1 and 15 of subsequent courses. Treatment repeats
 every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
 toxicity.

 ARM II: Patients receive lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and elotuzumab as in Arm I. Patients
 also receive cyclophosphamide IV on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up
 to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

 MAINTENANCE THERAPY: All patients receive lenalidomide PO on days 1-21 and dexamethasone IV
 on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Patients also receive elotuzumab IV over 1 hour on day 1. Courses
 repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
 toxicity.

 After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 24 months.
