  • Females of reproductive potential must adhere to the scheduled pregnancy testing as required in the Revlimid REMS® program
  • Able to take aspirin (81 or 325 mg) daily for prophylactic anticoagulation (patients intolerant to acetylsalicylic acid, ASA, may use warfarin or low molecular weight heparin)
  • Disease free of prior malignancies for > 2 years with exception of currently treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma "in situ" of the cervix or breast
  • All study participants must have one of the HLA alleles: HLA-A*02, HLA-A*03, HLAA*11, or HLA-A*24

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form
  • Pregnant or breast feeding females; (lactating females must agree not to breast feed while taking lenalidomide)
  • Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study
  • Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, radiosurgery, interferon (e.g. Intron-A®), allergy desensitization injections, growth factors (e.g. Procrit®, Aranesp®, Neulasta®), interleukins (e.g. Proleukin®) or any investigational therapeutic medication within 4 weeks of study entry
