A Phase 3 interventional study of Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Plasmacytoma, sponsored by University College, London. Active, not recruiting at 13 sites in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-12-23.

The purpose of the trial is to establish whether adjuvant therapy with lenalidomide + dexamethasone after radiotherapy can improve progression free survival in patients with high risk solitary bone plasmacytoma compared with RT only.
Solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) is a localised proliferation of malignant plasma cells (PCs) in the skeleton. The annual UK incidence is 0.4/100,000 (lower than multiple myeloma (MM)) with a peak age incidence at 68 years and there are estimated to be about 260 new cases per year in the United Kingdom (UK). The majority of patients with SBP ultimately progress to myeloma and this is likely due to occult disease not detected by conventional staging methods. Standard care for these patients is involved field radiotherapy (IFRT), but despite radical doses, two-thirds develop multiple myeloma at a median of 2 years, more so if there are high risk features.
The IDRIS Trial is a phase III study where the investigators hope to demonstrate that adjuvant lenalidomide + dexamethasone following IFRT prevents the development of multiple myeloma in patients with high risk solitary bone plasmacytoma. Whilst a proportion of solitary bone plasmacytoma is cured with IFRT, it is clear that the majority will progress to multiple myeloma. The investigators are seeking to prevent this outcome by using adjuvant therapy in this study.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
