Lenalidomide as Maintenance Therapy Added to NCCN Guidelines™ for Multiple Myeloma

NCCN has published updates to the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines™) for Multiple Myeloma. The NCCN Guidelines™ for Multiple Myeloma are available as Version 3.2010.

Lenalidomide has been added as an option for maintenance therapy with a footnote. The new footnote reads: “Lenalidomide as maintenance has been evaluated in three independent randomized clinical trials. Results from each of these trials show improvements in TTP. The panel felt that this warranted inclusion however this recommendation remains Category 2A since these results have not undergone full peer review and safety/efficacy data are still preliminary.”
