1.Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With 1-year Response Rate of CR/sCR
Hide Description The primary objective of this randomized trial is to compare the proportion of patients alive and in complete response (CR or sCR) at one year post transplant between patients receiving DC/myeloma vaccine/GM-CSF with lenalidomide maintenance therapy to those receiving lenalidomide maintenance therapy with or without GM-CSF. Complete Response (CR) is defined to require all the followings: Absence of the original monoclonal paraprotein in serum and urine by routine electrophoresis and by immunofixation; Less than 5% plasma cells in a bone marrow aspirate and also on trephine bone biopsy, if biopsy is performed; No increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions on radiological investigations; Disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas. Stringent Complete Response (sCR) is defined to require all the followings in addition to CR: Normal free light chain ratio (FLC); Absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence.
Time Frame 1 year
Hide Outcome Measure Data
Hide Analysis Population Description
The primary analysis population includes all the randomized participants. Protocol defines primary analysis is to compare participants receiving vaccine vs those without vaccine. So no vaccine arms with or without GM-CSF are combined. Four participants withdrew consent to all study procedures before 1-year post-transplant. Of these, 2 cases on the Lenalidomide/GM-CSF arm and 2 cases on the Lenalidomide Alone arm. These participants were not evaluable for the primary endpoint and ERC confirmed.

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With Myeloma Progression of Vaccine and Non-vaccine Arms
Hide Description The event for this endpoint is defined as disease progression from CR/sCR or progressive disease for participants not in CR/sCR, or initiation of off protocol antimyeloma therapy. The cumulative incidence of myeloma progression will be compared between the vaccine arm and the combined non-vaccine arms using Gray's test and treating death (without documentation of disease progression) as a competing risk. Participants alive without disease progression at last observation will be censored at the date of last contact.

Hide Outcome Measure Data
Hide Analysis Population Description
The randomized participants are included in the analysis.
Arm/Group Title Lenalidomide, Vaccine, and GM-CSF Lenalidomide With or Without GM-CSF
Hide Arm/Group Description:

Patients will undergo tumor cell collection and autologous stem cell transplant with melphalan. Patients will undergo leukapheresis and then will receive maintenance lenalidomide with myeloma vaccine and GM-CSF.

Tumor Cell Collection: Patients will undergo aspiration of 30 mL of bone marrow from which myeloma cell will be isolated and frozen for subsequent vaccine generation.

Autologous Stem Cell Transplant: Patients will receive an autologous graft of a minimum cell dose of 2.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg patient actual body weight per transplantation with high-dose melphalan of 200mg/m^2 at the schedule and timing according to institutional practices.

Leukapheresis: Blood samples will be collected through a catheter in the neck or chest and leukapheresis will be performed using standard clinical procedures.

Lenalidomide: Maintenance therapy with lenalidomide will begin between 90 and 100 days after stem cell infusion. Lenalidomide will be administered initially at a dose of 10 mg per day continuously. Cycle duration during maintenance therapy is 28 days. Patients will continue lenalidomide for two years from initiation of therapy.

Myeloma vaccine: The target dose is 3 x 10^6 fusion cells per vaccine. A minimum of 3 x 10^6 total fusion cells will be required to proceed with vaccine administration. Patients will receive the DC/MM fusion vaccine on day 1 of cycles 2, 3, and 4 of lenalidomide maintenance.

GM-CSF: 100 ug GM-CSF will be given for a total of 4 days of each cycle.

Patients will undergo tumor cell collection and autologous stem cell transplant with melphalan. Patients will receive maintenance lenalidomide with or without GM-CSF.

Tumor Cell Collection: Patients will undergo aspiration of 30 mL of bone marrow from which myeloma cell preparations will be generated. Myeloma cells will be isolated and frozen for subsequent vaccine generation for patients randomized to the vaccine arm (randomization occurs after transplant and recovery).

Autologous Stem Cell Transplant: Patients will receive an autologous graft with a minimum cell dose of 2.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg patient actual body weight per autologous transplantation.

Melphalan: Autologous hematopoietic cell transplant will be done with high-dose melphalan of 200mg/m^2 at the schedule and timing according to institutional practices.

Lenalidomide: Maintenance therapy with lenalidomide will begin between 90 and 100 days after stem cell infusion. Lenalidomide will be administered initially at a dose of 10 mg per day continuously. Cycle duration during maintenance therapy is 28 days. Patients will continue lenalidomide for two years from initiation of therapy.

GM-CSF: 100 ug GM-CSF will be given subcutaneously in the upper thigh and daily for a total of 4 days of each cycle.

Hide Description TRM is defined as death occurring in a patient from causes other than disease relapse or progression. Disease progression is the competing event for TRM. Patients alive without disease progression at last contact are considered censored for this event.
