Study Summary

This is a single center, open-label, phase 2 study in elderly (age ≥ 70) subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are transplant ineligible. Subjects will receive subcutaneous daratumumab, dose-attenuated bortezomib, revlimid, and dexamethasone until confirmed disease progression, discontinuation of study treatment due to unacceptable drug toxicity, or other reasons. Throughout the study, subjects will be monitored closely for adverse events, laboratory abnormalities, and clinical response.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Newly diagnosed, untreated, symptomatic MM as defined by standard criteria. Clonalbone marrow plasma cells >10% or biopsy-proven bony or extramedullary plasmacytoma*and any one or more of the following myeloma-defining events:

  • Evidence of end-organ damage that can be attributed to the underlying plasmacell proliferative disorder, specifically:

  • Bone lesions: one or more osteolytic lesions on skeletal radiography, CT,or PET-CT (if bone marrow has less than 10% clonal plasma cells, more thanone bone lesion is required to distinguish from solitary plasmacytoma withminimal marrow involvement)

  • Any one or more of the following biomarkers of malignancy:

  • Clonal bone marrow plasma cell percentage** (clonality should beestablished by showing kappa/lambda-light-chain restriction on flowcytometry, immunohistochemistry, or immunofluorescence. Bone marrowplasma cell percentage should preferably be estimated from a corebiopsy specimen; in case of a disparity between the aspirate and corebiopsy, the highest value should be used ≥60% or

  • Serum free light chain (FLC) ratio greater than or equal to 100provided involved FLC level is 100 mg/L or higher, or

  • More than one focal lesion on MRI*** (Each focal lesion must be 5 mmor more in size.

  • Age ≥ 70 and ineligible for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (defined as age, ≥ 80 or age < 80 with cardiac/pulmonary/ or other comorbiditiesdeemed by investigator likely to have a negative impact on tolerability of high dosechemotherapy with stem cell transplantation).

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.

  • Patients must have measurable disease defined by at least 1 of the following 3measurements:

  • Serum M-protein > 1 g/dL (10 g/L) or > 0.5 g/dL if IgA

  • Urine M-protein > 200 mg/24 hours.

  • Serum free light chain assay: involved free light chain level >10 mg/dL (> 100mg/L) provided the serum free light chain ratio is abnormal

Male condom and female condom should not be used together (due to risk of failure with friction).

Those who are PCR positive will beexcluded. EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBVvaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a knownhistory of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR.

Study Description

This is a single center, open-label, phase 2 study in elderly (age ≥ 70) subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are transplant ineligible. The main study consists of the following phases: a 28-day screening phase; followed by initial therapy with 12 cycles of daratumumab in combination with dose-attenuated VRd; and a maintenance phase that starts after Cycle 12 of therapy. Cycles are 28 days in length. Treatment can continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 12 cycles of initial therapy, maintenance therapy will begin with 28 day cycles of daratumumab with either lenalidomide or ixazomib and the choice of maintenance therapy will be based on cytogenetic risk status at diagnosis. All subjects will continue maintenance treatment until disease progression, except maintenance daratumumab will be discontinued after 2 years if subjects remain on maintenance treatment at that time. All subjects will be followed in the longterm follow-up for at least 1 year after last dose of study treatment and will continue until death, withdrawal of consent for study participation, or the end of study definition is met. The end of study is defined as when all subjects have completed at least 1 year of long-term follow up and until death, withdrawal of consent for study participation, or 5 years after first patient begins daratumumab therapy, whichever occurs first.
