Hematology: Lenalidomide plus dexamethasone is effective in multiple myeloma

Ellen Meijer et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2009 May.

Abstract

A prospective subgroup analysis of two prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III clinical trials showed that the combination of lenalidomide plus dexamethasone is superior to dexamethasone alone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who had been previously treated with thalidomide; the implications for clinical practice are discussed.
