Do you recommend lenalidomide for high risk smoldering multiple myeloma?
Given the PFS benefit seen in the most recent ECOG-ACRIN, and the prior study of Rd showing an OS benefit, is your practice to put any high-risk SMM patients on lenalidomide?
Would you add dexamethasone to the regimen, and if so in what circumstances?

If you want to push the can down the road that is a good approach. High risk SMM is more like early stage myeloma. Treating them with single agent does not make sense as we know that combination therapy and total therapy approach is superior. The ECOG study was perfect 15 years ago but not today.
