Lenalidomide with or without an Allogeneic Myeloma Vaccine and Prevnar-13 in Treating Patients with Newly Diagnosed, Recurrent, or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Trial Status: administratively complete

This phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide with or without an allogeneic myeloma vaccine and prevnar-13 work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that is newly diagnosed, does not respond to treatment (refractory), or has come back (recurrent). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Vaccines, such as an allogeneic myeloma vaccine and prevnar-13, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving lenalidomide with an allogeneic myeloma vaccine and prevnar-13 may work better than lenalidomide alone in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
