Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Lenalidomide will be commenced orally at a dose of 10mg daily for 6 weeks following stem cell transplant. If this dose is well tolerated it may be increased at the discretion of the attending haematologist 2 months following commencement. Converseley, in patients with suspected lenalidomide toxicity, dose reductions in 5mg steps will be allowed for management of myelo-suppression. Dose re-escalation of lenalidomide at the discretion of the attending haematologist will be allowed subsequently where toxicity abates.
Alternate-day prednisolone will start at a dose of 50mg. No escalation of prednisolone will be allowed to manage toxicities. Patients intolerantof prednisolone can continue on single agent lenalidomide.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 266916 0
To document changes in the depth of disease response in MM patients who receive lenalidomide and alternate-day prednisolone maintenace therapy post stem cell transplant.

Secondary outcome [1] 276613 0
To subsequently quantify minimal residual disease in patients who have achieved complete remission.
Timepoint [1] 276613 0
Until acceptable toxicity or relapse/progressive disease, by free lite chains, heavy lite and plasma cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood throughout the study and at investigators discretion.
Secondary outcome [2] 276614 0
