Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive REVLIMID or placebo maintenance 90-100 days (CALGB) or within 6 months (IFM) post auto-HSCT. Patients were required to achieve at least stable disease following hematologic recovery and CrCl ≥30 mL/min. The primary endpoint for both studies was PFS, based on assessment by investigator, and was defi ned from randomization to the date of progression or death, whichever occurred fi rst. In both studies, the starting dose of REVLIMID was 10 mg once daily for repeated 28-day cycles. If tolerated after 3 months, a dose increase to 15 mg once daily occurred in 135 patients (58%) in CALGB, and 185 patients (60%) in IFM. The dose was reduced, interrupted, and/or discontinued as needed to manage toxicity. Patients were treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal for any reason. At a preplanned interim analysis, the primary endpoint of PFS was met and both studies were unblinded and patients continued to be followed as before. Patients in the placebo arm of CALGB were allowed to cross over to receive REVLIMID before disease progression; patients in the IFM study were not recommended to cross over. In IFM, REVLIMID was stopped at the recommendation of the Data Monitoring Committee in January 2011.
