Experimental: Lenalidomide escalation and expansion
Among the participants who will be receiving lenalidomide, the first 12 participants will be in the dose escalation phase; with the subsequent 8 participants anticipated to receive dose expansion.
|
Drug: Lenalidomide
Dose Escalation Patients in the dose escalation phase will receive oral treatment with: Lenalidomide: 10, 15, or 25 mg on Days 1-21 of every 28-day cycle Dexamethasone: 20mg on Days 1,8,15 and 22 Starting doses of Lenalidomide will be assigned at the time of registration. Dose Expansion Once the MTD has been established or determined, 8 additional patients will be treated at the MTD of lenalidomide at the same schedule as above. Dexamethasone will be given at the same dose as in the dose escalation portion of the study. Other Name: Revlimid |
- MTD [ Time Frame: Treatment duration up to 24 months ]the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide
- Dose Extension [ Time Frame: Treatment duration up to 24 months ]the recommended dose extension; subsequent to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide
- EQ-5D-5L [ Time Frame: Treatment duration up to 24 months ]A self-reported descriptive system that comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems (1), slight problems(2), moderate problems(3), severe problems(4) and extreme problems(5). The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state. The new version can define 3,125 (=55) different health states. The five figure score represents a 1-5 score in each of 5 domains; the lower the score in each domain the less severe the problems in that domain.
- Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) disability score [ Time Frame: Treatment duration up to 24 months ]The INCAT (Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment) disability score is a measure of activity limitation. It is used frequently as a primary endpoint in inflammatory polyneuropathy clinical trials. The INCAT disability score combines arm and leg disability in a total score ranging from 0 (no signs of disability) to 12 (most severe disability score). It provides a good functional description of the arms and legs in a checklist form suitable for interviewing patients.
