Siltuximab (CNTO 328) with lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone in newly-diagnosed, previously untreated multiple myeloma: an open-label phase I trial.

ABSTRACT: The safety and efficacy of siltuximab (CNTO 328) was tested in combination with lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (RVD) in patients with newly-diagnosed, previously untreated symptomatic multiple myeloma. Fourteen patients were enrolled in the study, eleven of whom qualified to receive therapy. A majority of patients (81.8%) completed the minimal number or more of the four required cycles, while two patients completed only three cycles. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of siltuximab with RVD was dose level -1 (siltuximab: 8.3 mg/kg; bortezomib: 1.3 mg/m(2); lenalidomide: 25 mg; dexamethasone: 20 mg). Serious adverse events were grade 3 pneumonia and grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and no deaths occurred during the study or with follow-up (median follow-up 28.1 months). An overall respon
