Clinical Study ID

NCT06182774
MY13
  • Ages > 18
  • All Genders

Study Summary

Currently, daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone are given continuously (non-stop). Some recent observations suggest that stopping daratumumab after about a year and a half of treatment may work just as well as giving it continuously with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. This study is being done to answer the question: is less daratumumab treatment as good as more?

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma that are transplant-ineligible

  • Measurable disease at the time of diagnosis, as defined by at least one of thefollowing criteria: Serum M-protein ≥ 5 g/L; Urine M-protein ≥ 200 mg/24 hours;Involved serum free light chain measurement ≥ 100 mg/L, provided serum FLC ration isabnormal; For IgA patients whose disease can only be reliably measured by serumquantitative immunoglobulin ≥ 750 mg/dL

  • Received daratumumab-lenalidomide-dexamethasone for 18-20 cycles

  • Obtained at least a partial response per the standard 2016 IMWG criteria

  • ECOG performance status 0-3

  • Participant is able (i.e. sufficiently fluent) and willing to complete the qualityof life and/or health utility questionnaires in English, French, or a providedvalidated language.

  • Participant consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicablelocal and regulatory requirements.

  • Participants must be accessible for treatment and follow-up.

  • In accordance with CCTG policy, protocol treatment is to begin within 2 working daysof participant enrollment.

  • Participants of childbearing potential must have agreed to use a highly effectivecontraceptive method.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known history of concurrent amyloid light chain amyloidosis, POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skinchanges), and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

  • Patients receiving concurrent treatment with other anti-cancer therapy that wouldimpact the ability to comply with protocol treatment are ineligible. Note:Participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history ortreatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacyassessment of protocol treatment are eligible for this trial

  • Active, uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection within 7 days prior toenrollment.

  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with CD4 count < 350 cells/microliter. Notethat patients who are HIV positive are eligible, provided:

  • They are under treatment with antiretroviral therapy for at least 4 weeks priorto enrollment, with acceptable pharmacokinetic interactions and minimaloverlapping toxicity with protocol therapy AND

  • HIV viral load must be < 400 copies/ml within 16 weeks prior to enrollment AND

  • No history of opportunistic infections within the past year.

Study Description

The usual approach for people with myeloma who are not having a stem cell transplant is treatment with the combination of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone. These drugs are given continuously until they are no longer effective or cause major side effects.

Those that decide to take part in this study, will be randomly placed in one of two groups. If in the usual care group, patients will continue all the myeloma medicines currently being taken. If in the experimental group, patients will stop the daratumumab injection, and continue taking the myeloma tablets currently being taken. Regardless of which group, patients will stay on treatment indefinitely as long they are benefiting from it.
