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

- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10-14 days prior to starting lenalidomide with each cycle (prescriptions must be filled within 7 days) and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy * A female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To compare the 2-year progression free survival of patients with multiple myeloma in a near complete remission (nCR) or complete remission (CR) who are also minimal residual disease positive (MRD+), treated with an allogeneic granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-secreting myeloma vaccine (allogeneic myeloma vaccine) in combination with lenalidomide (with or without Prevnar vaccine) versus placebo in combination with lenalidomide.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the 2-year progression free survival for those treated with or without Prevnar in addition to an allogeneic myeloma vaccine and lenalidomide.
II. Determine rate of conversion of nCR to true CR.
III. Determine rate of conversion of MRD positivity to MRD negativity.
IV. Determine time to response.
V. Determine the progression free survival at 3 and 5 years.
VI. Evaluate toxicity of the allogeneic myeloma vaccine.
VII. Measure tumor specific immunity and correlate with systemic immunity.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting myeloma vaccine intradermally (ID) and pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine intramuscularly (IM) on day 14 of cycles 1, 2, 3, and 6, and then annually for 36 months.
ARM II: Patients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting myeloma vaccine ID and placebo IM on day 14 of cycles 1, 2, 3, and 6, and then annually for 36 months.
ARM III: Patients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive placebo for allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting myeloma vaccine ID and placebo for pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine IM on day 14 of cycles 1, 2, 3, and 6, and then annually for 36 months.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and up to 36 months after enrollment in the study.
