12. Any serious medical condition or psychiatric illness that will prevent the patient from signing the informed consent form or will place the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she participates in the study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary PK Phase: Area-under-the Concentration-time Curve (AUC0-24) for Lenalidomide Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from Time 0 to 24 hours post-dose for lenalidomide after a single dose, calculated using the log-linear trapezoidal method. On Day -7 blood samples were taken at predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. No
Primary Monotherapy Phase: Area-under-the Concentration-time Curve (AUC0-5) for Lenalidomide Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from Time 0 to 5 hours postdose for lenalidomide (its R- and S- enantiomers and the enantiomers combined) after multiple dosing for 14 days, calculated using the log-linear trapezoidal method. On Day 14 blood samples were taken at predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 hours postdose. No
Secondary PK Phase: Maximum Plasma Concentration of Lenalidomide (Cmax) The maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of lenalidomide (its R- and S- enantiomers and the enantiomers combined) after a single dose on day -7. On Day -7 blood samples were taken at predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours postdose. No
Secondary Monotherapy Phase: Maximum Plasma Concentration of Lenalidomide (Cmax) The Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of lenalidomide (its R- and S- enantiomers and the enantiomers combined) after multiple dosing for 14 days. On Day 14 blood samples were taken at predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 hours postdose. No
Secondary PK Phase: Terminal Half-life (t1/2) The apparent terminal half-life is the time required for plasma concentration to decrease by 50% after pseudo-equilibrium of distribution has been reached, and calculated as the natural logarithm of 2 (0.693) / Apparent terminal rate constant (?z). On Day -7 blood samples were taken at predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours postdose. No
Secondary PK Phase: Percent of Administered Lenalidomide Excreted Over 24 Hours After a Single, Oral Dose Percent of the administered dose of lenalidomide excreted unchanged in urine over 24 hours postdose after a single dose on Day -7, calculated as:
(amount excreted unchanged in urine over 24 hours postdose / Dose) * 100.
The dose was 10 mg for total lenalidomide and 5 mg for the enantiomers.
On Day -7 at predose and over the intervals of 0-5, 5-8, 8-12, and 12-24 hours postdose. No
Secondary Monotherapy Phase: Percent of Lenalidomide Excreted Over 5 Hours Post Day 14 Dose Percent of the administered lenalidomide dose excreted unchanged in urine over 5 hours postdose after multiple dosing for 14 days, calculated as:
(amount excreted unchanged in urine over the first 5 hours postdose / Dose) * 100.
The dose was 10 mg for total lenalidomide and 5 mg for the enantiomers.
On Day 14, at predose and over the interval of 0-5 hours postdose. No
Secondary Time to Grade 4 Neutropenia or Thrombocytopenia Time to the first event of grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 3.0, was calculated as date of first event - date of first dose + 1. From the date of first dose until 30 days after the last dose (up to 1218 days) Yes
Secondary Percentage of Participants With a Erythroid Response Across All Phases Erythroid response was categorized as either a major response or a minor response. A major response was defined as red blood cell (RBC) transfusion independence during any consecutive 56-day period and an increase in hemoglobin of at least 1.5 g/dL. A minor response was defined as a = 50% or = 4 unit decrease in RBC transfusions from pretreatment requirements (the number of RBC transfusions required over an 8-week period before the start of study drug treatment). Assessed every 28 days until study discontinuation (up to 1218 days). No
Secondary Percentage of Participants Overall With Erythroid Response by Baseline Erythropoietin Level To evaluate the predictive value of pretreatment serum erythropoietin (EPO) concentration for erythroid response to lenalidomide, the percentage of erythroid responders versus non-responders were stratified by Baseline EPO levels (= 500 mIU/mL versus > 500 mIU/mL). Response includes participants with either a major or minor response. Assessed every 28 days until study discontinuation (up to 1218 days) No
Secondary Change From Baseline in Bone Marrow Cellularity and Correlation With Grade 4 Myelosuppression Bone marrow cellularity is the volume ratio of hematopoietic stem cells and adipocytes (fat cells). Due to the small number of bone marrow samples, this analysis was not performed. Baseline and Week 16 Yes
Secondary Marrow-infiltrating Lymphocyte (MIL) Number and Cytolytic Activity Due to the low number of bone marrow samples collected this analysis was not performed. Pre-Study and Week 16 No
