Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Aged 18 years or greater
- Newly diagnosed as having symptomatic multiple myeloma or non-secretory multiple myeloma
- Provide written informed consent
- Women of childbearing potential and male patients whose partner is a woman of child bearing potential must be prepared to use contraception in accordance with (and consent to) the Celgene-approved process for thalidomide and lenalidomide Risk Management and Pregnancy Prevention, or commit to absolute and continuous abstinence
- Women of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test performed by a healthcare professional in accordance with the Celgene-approved process for thalidomide and lenalidomide Risk Management and Pregnancy Prevention
Exclusion Criteria:
- Asymptomatic myeloma
- Solitary plasmacytoma of bone. (Patients with previous solitary plasmacytoma now progressed to symptomatic or non-secretory myeloma are eligible)
- Extramedullary plasmacytoma (without evidence of myeloma)
- Previous (<5 years since diagnosis) or concurrent active malignancies, except surgically-removed basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, treated carcinoma in situ of the breast or cervix, or incidental histologic finding of prostate cancer (TMN stage of T1a or 1b). Patients with remote histories (>5 years) of other cured malignancies may be entered.
- Documented diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) that meets International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) criteria for high-risk disease
- Previous treatment for myeloma, except the following: local radiotherapy to relieve bone pain or spinal cord compression; or prior bisphosphonate treatment; or corticosteroids within the last 3 months
- Known history of allergy contributable to compounds containing boron or mannitol
- Grade 2 or greater (NCI criteria) peripheral neuropathy
- Acute renal failure (unresponsive to up to 72 hours of rehydration, characterised by creatinine >500µmol/L or urine output <400 mL/day or requirement for dialysis)
- Lactating or breastfeeding
- Patient has active or prior hepatitis C
- Caution is advised in patients with a past history of ischaemic heart disease, pericardial disease, acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease or psychiatric disorders, evidence of impaired marrow function or elevated liver function tests, but exclusion is essentially to be at the discretion of the treating clinician

Intensive pathway
Non-intensive pathway
The intensive pathway is aimed at younger and fitter patients who will receive the standard dose of chemotherapy. The initial treatments will be followed by high-dose chemotherapy with a stem cell transplant which is generally standard practice. Participants receive one treatment from each following stage in intensive pathway, depending on what they are randomised to (Protocol v6.0): Induction treatment: CRD regimen - cyclophosphamide, lenalidomide, dexamethasone CTD regimen - cyclophosphamide, thalidomide, dexamethasone CCRD regimen - carfilzomib, cyclophosphamide, lenalidomide, dexamethasone Consolidation treatment (depending on response to induction treatment): VCD regimen - bortezomib, cyclosphosphamide, dexamethasone No consolidation treatment High-dose therapy and stem cell transplant Maintenance treatment: Lenalidomide maintenance No maintenance Lenalidomide plus vorinostat maintenance (Protocol v5.0 only)
The non-intensive pathway is aimed at participants who are not deemed suitable for the stem cell transplant, and will receive lower doses of some of the drugs. Interventions in each stage of non-intensive pathway (depending on what the participant has been randomised to) - from Protocol v6.0: Induction treatment CRDa regimen - cyclophosphamide, lenalidomide, dexamethasone attenuated CTDa regimen - cyclophosphamide, thalidomide, dexamethasone attenuated Consolidation treatment (depending on participant's response to induction treatment): VCD regimen - bortezomib, cyclosphosphamide, dexamethasone No consolidation treatment Maintenance treatment Lenalidomide maintenance No maintenance Lenalidomide plus vorinostat maintenance (*for participants recruited under Protocol v5.0 only*)
