This phase II trial studies how well elotuzumab works when given with lenalidomide as maintenance therapy after transplant in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who underwent transplant using their own stem cells (autologous transplant). Maintenance therapy is treatment that is given to help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared following the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as elotuzumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Adding elotuzumab to standard maintenance therapy with lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma who have undergone transplant.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Establish activity of elotuzumab and lenalidomide in the maintenance setting post autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in myeloma patients. II. Progression free survival (PFS). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Progression free survival 2. II. Overall survival. III. Determine incidence of secondary primary malignancy. IV. Evaluate the best response rate (stringent complete response \[sCR\]/very good partial response \[VGPR\]/partial response \[PR\]) based on International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. V. Evaluate time to progression. VI. Evaluate time to next therapy. VII. Evaluate the tolerability and toxicity. VIII. Perform MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI)-Myeloma symptom evaluation. OUTLINE: Patients receive elotuzumab intravenously (IV) over 2-4 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 21 of courses 1-2 and on day 1 of each subsequent course. Patients also receive lenalidomide orally (PO) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.

Progression free survival
Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test will be performed to test the difference in time-to-event distributions between patient groups. Cox proportional hazards model may be used to include multiple covariates in the time-to-event analysis.
Time frame: The time from autologous stem cell transplantation to the time of clinical progression, death, whichever occurs first or the time of last contact, assessed up to 48 months
Response rate
Estimated along with 95% confidence intervals.
Time frame: Up to 48 months
Incidence of new primary malignancy
Estimated along with 95% confidence intervals.
Time frame: Up to 48 months
Overall survival
Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test will be performed to test the difference in time-to-event distributions between patient groups. Cox proportional hazards model may be used to include multiple covariates in the time-to-event analysis.
Time frame: Up to 48 months
Incidence of toxicity
Toxicity data will be summarized by frequency tables. Per-treated analysis will be used to include any patient who received the treatment regardless of the eligibility nor the duration or dose of the treatment received. The intensity (severity) of adverse events will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0.
Time frame: Up to 48 months
