4 Supplementary Appendix Part II Additional Methods. Dose modifications During consolidation, the dose of lenalidomide was managed according to established dosemodification guidelines. During maintenance, in case of a grade 3 or 4 adverse event, treatment was withheld and restarted at the next lower daily dose. The dose of lenalidomide was modified as follows: 0 mg (dose level, -), or 5 mg (dose level, -2). Blood counts were performed each week during consolidation, each week during the maintenance cycles to 2, on days and 4 during maintenance cycles 3 to 4, then on day of each subsequent maintenance cycle. Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria scr = stringent Complete Response CR as defined below plus Normal FLC ratio and Absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence CR = Complete Response Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and 5% plasma cells in bone marrow VGPR= Very Good Partial Response Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or 90% or greater reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein level <00 mg per 24 h PR= Partial Response 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-h urinary M-protein by 90% or to <200 mg per 24 h If the serum and urine M-protein are unmeasurable, a 50% decrease in the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels is required in place of the M-protein criteria. If serum and urine M-protein are unmeasurable, and serum free light assay is also unmeasurable, 50% reduction in plasma cells is required in place of M-protein, provided baseline bone marrow plasma cell percentage was 30% In addition to the above listed criteria, if present at baseline, a 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas is also required SD= Stable Disease (not recommended for use as an indicator of response; stability of disease is best described by providing the time to progression estimates) Not meeting criteria for CR, VGPR, PR or progressive disease PD= Progressive Disease (to be used for calculation of time to progression and progressionfree survival end points for all patients including those in CR; includes primary progressive disease and disease progression on or off therapy). Any one or more of the following: -Increase of 25% from baseline in *Serum M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be 0.5 g/dl) *Urine M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be 200 mg/24 h *Only in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels: the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels. The absolute increase must be 0 mg/dl. Attal IFM 2005 Supplementary Appendix 2

5 *Bone marrow plasma cell percentage: the absolute % must be 0% -Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas -Development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium.5 mg/dl or 2.65 mmol/l) that can be attributed solely to the plasma cell proliferative disorder Two consecutive assessments made at any time are required; no known evidence of progressive or new bone lesions if radiographic studies were performed is also required. Radiographic studies are not required to satisfy these response criteria. Adapted from: Durie BG, Harousseau JL, Miguel JS, et al. International uniform response criteria for multiple myeloma.

The figure shows that the progression-free survival benefit associated with lenalidomide maintenance is consistent across all subgroups of patients defined by age, gender, type of myeloma, ISS stage, baseline beta-2 microglobulin level, cytogenetic abnormalities, induction regimen, number of transplant, and response at randomization.

HR and HRa denote unadjusted and adjusted Hazard ratios, CI confidence interval. P values are from a Wald test. The selection of exposure variables for the multivariate analysis was based on preliminary univariate Cox regression analyses. All variables with an alpha level of less than 20 percent according to the Wald test were retained for the multivariate analysis. A manual backward stepwise procedure was used to select explanatory variables with statistically significant effects. Serum beta-2 microglobulin level was not entered in the multivariate analysis because it is already included in the International Staging System classification. Data are from fluorescence in situ hybridization. Attal IFM 2005 Supplementary Appendix 8
