In newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, Revlimid has been studied in two main studies involving 2,082 patients. The first study compared Revlimid with placebo, both taken with melphalan and prednisone. In this study, patients taking Revlimid (plus melphalan and prednisone) lived longer without their disease getting worse (27 months) than patients
