Experimental
Experimental
Cohort 1-lenalidomide & cyclophosphamide
Cohort 2-sunitinib & cyclophosphamide
Participants first started on 2 Interventions (Dose A-QD) in Cycle 1, with 10 mg Lenalidomide (Len) once daily and 50 mg Cyclophosphamide (Cyc) once daily; 25 mg Sunitinib (Sun) was added once daily as a 3rd Intervention (Dose B-QD) from Cycle 2 onwards. Doses were adjusted in subsequent cycles depending on toxicity, including incremental step downs to 5/25/12.5 mg Len/Cyc/Sun once daily (Dose C-QD) or once every other day (Dose C-QOD).
2 participants started Cycle 1 with Dose B as described above and had adjusted-dosing as described for Cohort 1. The remaining 7 participants began Cycle 1 with 10 mg Len, 25 mg Cyc and 12.5 mg Sun once daily (Dose D-QD). Doses were adjusted in subsequent cycles depending on toxicity, including step up to 10/50/12.5 mg Len/Cyc/Sun once daily (Dose E-QD) and step down to Dose D once every other day (Dose D-QOD).
