Patients With Multiple Myeloma
This is a phase II, single center clinical trial designed to evaluate the response rate and toxicity of a response-adapted, sequential therapy, using bortezomib and dexamethasone, followed by the addition of lenalidomide in non-responders, in patients with untreated MM.
Bortezomib: Bortezomib SC (or IV if SC not tolerated) 1.5 mg/m\^2, days 1, 8, 15 and 22
Dexamethasone: Dexamethasone 40 mg PO or IV days 1, 4, 8,15 and 22 or on a split-dose regimen. (20mg BIW).
Lenalidomide: Lenalidomide may be added to the patient's regimen at any time if there is evidence of hematologic disease progression
