RAD001 and Lenalidomide in the Treatment of Subjects With Relapsed and Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Multiple Myeloma

In brief

The purpose of this research study is to determine the highest dose of lenalidomide and RAD001 that can be given without causing too many serious side effects. Another goal of this research study is to look at how the participants cancer may respond to the study treatment. Additionally, we wish to learn more about how the body breaks down and gets rid of the study drugs. We will also try to find substances in the blood (biomarkers) that may help predict how myeloma will respond to study treatment.
