Initially, all subjects received oral RUX 15 mg twice daily and oral MP 40 mg every other day. Those patients who developed progressive disease according to the International Myeloma Working Group criteria then received LEN 10 mg once daily on days 1–21 within a 28-day cycle in addition to RUX and MP, which were administered at the same doses these patients were receiving at the time progressive disease developed.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>Twenty-nine subjects (median age 64 years; 18 [62%] male) were enrolled in this part of the study and initially received the two-drug combination of RUX and MP.

The best responses were 1 very good partial response, 8 partial responses, 1 minor response, 12 stable disease, and 7 progressive disease.

Twenty (69%) patients who showed progressive disease had LEN added to RUX and MP; all patients had prior exposure to LEN and all but one patient was refractory to their last LEN-containing regimen. After the addition of LEN, the overall response rate was 30% and the clinical benefit rate was 40%. The best responses of patients following the addition of LEN were 2 very good partial responses, 4 partial responses, 2 minor responses, 8 stable disease, and 4 progressive disease. The median time to response was 2.6 months (range 0.7–15.0 months). The median duration of response was not reached.
