To determine the activity of lenalidomide in the treatment of pediatric subjects with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (with second or greater relapse or refractory to at least 2 prior induction attempts) measured by morphological complete response defined as either a CR or CRi within the first 4 cycles of treatment.
This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, Phase 2, Simon's Optimal two-stage design study, with an Optional Extension Phase (OEP), that will assess the activity, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of lenalidomide in pediatric subjects from 1 to ≤ 18 years of age with second or greater Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (rrAML). A total of 43 evaluable participants (18 participants in Stage 1 and an additional 25 participants in Stage 2) are required for assessment of the primary endpoint. To allow for participants found to be unevaluable for the primary endpoint due to an incorrect diagnosis, not having a disease assessment post screening, or who discontinued prior to receiving lenalidomide, up to 4 additional participants may be enrolled for a maximum of 47 evaluable subjects across approximately 70 sites. Approximately 50% of enrolled participants will be younger than 12 years of age to provide adequate PK data for this age subset. If during Stage 1, at least 3 of 18 participants achieve a morphologic complete response (either CR or CRi) within the first 4 cycles of study treatment, then the study will proceed to Stage 2; otherwise, the study will be terminated. Similarly, if at the final analysis, at least 8 of 43 evaluable subjects across Stages 1 and 2 achieve a response (CR/CRi) within the first 4 cycles of study treatment, it will be concluded that lenalidomide has sufficient activity in pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) to warrant subsequent study. The optional extension phase (OEP) will allow participants who demonstrate clinical benefit, as assessed by the Investigator at the completion of 12 cycles of lenalidomide therapy, to continue receiving oral lenalidomide until they meet the criteria for study discontinuation. In the OEP, only safety, dosing, concomitant medications/procedures, and second primary malignancies (SPMs) will be monitored.

Lenalidomide will be administered orally once daily for the first 21 days of every 28-day cycle. The starting dose will be 2 mg/kg/day with a maximum dose of 70 mg/day. Number of cycles: 12, or until evidence of progressive disease. Participants will also be discontinued if unresolved toxicities as described in the protocol occur, or if dose reductions are required and subject does not tolerate minimum dose level of 1mg/kg/day.
Number of Participants Who Achieved a Morphologic Complete Response Within the First Four Cycles of Lenalidomide Treatment According to the Modified International Working Group (IWG) Criteria
The morphological complete response rate was defined as the total number of participants with morphological CR observed within the first 4 cycles of lenalidomide (regardless of whether the CR/CRi was observed at the end of Cycle 1, 2, 3 or 4) over the total number of participants evaluable for this endpoint. According to Modified IWG criteria, morphologic CR was defined as: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/μL and platelets ≥ 100,000 without transfusions and/or exogenous growth factor support (i.e., no transfusion or exogenous growth factor within 7 days of assessment; 2. Bone marrow \< 5% blasts evidence of trilineage hematopoiesis; 3. No evidence of extramedullary disease. Morphologic CRi was defined as: 1. ANC \< 1000/μL and platelets \< 100,000/μL or \> 100,000/μL without platelet recovery (requiring transfusion within 7 days of assessment); 2. BM with \< 5% blasts and evidence of trilineage hematopoiesis; 3. No evidence of extramedullary disease.
Time frame: From day of the first dose of IP to end of cycle 4; Response was assessed at the completion of the 21-day treatment period of cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 and at treatment discontinuation.
Number of Participants Who Achieved a Bone Marrow Confirmed CR/CRi Lasting 3 Months (Durable Response Rate)
Durable response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a BM confirmed CR/CRi according to the Modified IWG Response Assessment Lasting 3 Months (from the time to complete response observed until treatment failure or worse) or until transplantation if earlier among all participants eligible for durable response rate analysis, provided the CR/CRi was confirmed in a bone marrow sample). Due to scarcity of relevant data, it was not practical or meaningful to analyze the durable response rate. Only 1 participant had a response and the participant was censored soon after, as the consent was withdrawn; unable to calculate duration of response.
Time frame: From date of confirmed complete response observed until treatment failure or worse; up to data cut-off date of 31 December 2017

Duration of Response
Duration of response was defined as the time from date of the first observed response (CR, CRi or PR) until morphologic relapse, molecular/cytogenetic relapse, or death only for participants who achieved a response. Due to scarcity of relevant data, it was not practical or meaningful to analyze the duration of response. Only 1 participant had a response and the participant was censored soon after, as the consent was withdrawn; unable to calculate duration of response.
Time frame: From date of first time of complete response observed until treatment failure or worse; up to data cut-off date of 31 December 2017
Number of Participants Who Achieved a Best Response of Morphologic Complete Remission, Morphologic Complete Remission Incomplete or Partial Remission
Overall response rate was defined as the number of participants with best response of CR, CRi or PR. A CR was defined as: 1.

BM \< 5% blasts evidence of trilineage hematopoiesis; 3. No evidence of extramedullary disease. A CRi was defined as: 1. ANC \< 1000/μL and platelets \< 100,000/μL or \> 100,000/μL without platelet recovery (requiring transfusion within 7 days of assessment); 2. BM with \< 5% blasts and evidence of trilineage hematopoiesis; 3. No evidence of extramedullary disease. A PR was defined as: 1. ANC of ≥ 1000/μL and platelets ≥ 100,000 without transfusions and/or exogenous growth factor support (no transfusion or exogenous growth factor within 7 days of assessment); 2.

Number of Participants Who Received a Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)
The number of participants who had undergone a haematopoietic stem cell transplant was calculated over the total number of participants in the ITT population. Percentages were also calculated based on whether the transplantation was the first, second, or subsequent transplant post IP administration.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to 5 years post HSCT
Number of Participants Who Experienced Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
A TEAE was defined as any adverse event (AE) occurring or worsening on or after the first treatment of lenalidomide and within 28 days after the last dose. A serious AE = any AE which results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; constitutes an important medical event. The severity of AEs was graded based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.3 and based on the following scale: Grade 1 = Mild Grade 2 = Moderate Grade 3 = Severe Grade 4 = Life threatening Grade 5 = Death.
Time frame: From the first dose of study drug until 28 days after the last dose of study drug; up to data cut off date of 31 December 2017; maximum duration of treatment was 12 weeks
Percentage of Participants With of Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)
Acute graft versus host disease generally occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It is a reaction of donor immune cells against host tissues. The 3 main tissues that acute GVHD affects are the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. Chronic GVHD is scored per the National Institute of Health consensus conference grading system. Clinical manifestations of chronic GVHD include skin involvement resembling lichen planus or the cutaneous manifestations of scleroderma; dry oral mucosa with ulcerations and sclerosis of the gastrointestinal tract; and a rising serum bilirubin concentration.
Time frame: From the first dose of study drug to 28 days after the last dose of study drug; up to data cut off date of 31 December 2017; maximum treatment was 12 weeks
