A Study of Lenalidomide and CC-486 with Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Plasmacytoma, LENZART Study

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This trial studies how well lenalidomide, CC-486 and radiation therapy work for the treatment of plasmacytoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, 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. CC-486 is an oral form of the drug azacitidine. CC-486 works by changing the proteins produced by the cancer cells which, when CC-486 is combined with other cancer drugs, may make the cancer cells more likely to die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving lenalidomide, CC-486 and radiation therapy may boost the immune system’s ability to identify and destroy cancer cells, which could prevent plasmacytoma from developing into multiple myeloma or prevent multiple myeloma from getting worse (progressing).
