Regimen
| Study | Evidence | Comparator | Comparative Efficacy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mateos et al. 2013 (QUIREDEX) | Phase III (E) | Observation | Seems to have superior OS |
Note: QUIREDEX did not require modern imaging modalities (such as MRI) to rule out active myeloma, and therefore it is probable that many patients on this study had active as opposed to smoldering multiple myeloma.
Chemotherapy
- Lenalidomide (Revlimid) 25 mg PO once per day on days 1 to 21
- Dexamethasone (Decadron) 20 mg PO once per day on days 1 to 4, 12 to 15
Supportive medications
- Aspirin 100 mg PO once per day
28-day cycle for 9 cycles
Subsequent treatment

Thalidomide monotherapy
| back to top |
Regimen
| Study | Evidence | Comparator | Comparative Efficacy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Witzig et al. 2012 (MC0289) | Phase III (E) | Observation | Seems to have superior TTP |
Note: Zoledronic acid was received in both the control and experimental arms.
Chemotherapy
- Thalidomide (Thalomid) 200 mg PO once per day
Supportive medications
- Zoledronic acid (Zometa) 4 mg IV once every three months
Continued indefinitely
Regimen
| Study | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Weber et al 2003 | Phase II |
Chemotherapy
- Thalidomide (Thalomid) as follows:
- Cycle 1: Cycle 1: 200 mg PO once per day on days 1 to 7, then 300 mg PO once per day on days 8 to 14, then 400 mg PO once per day on days 15 to 21, then 500 mg PO once per day on days 22 to 29
- Cycle 2 onwards: 600 mg PO once per day
Note: The median maximal tolerated dose in this study for patients with smoldering myeloma was 400 mg PO once per day
