Compare Lenalidomide and Subcutaneous Daratumumab vs Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Frail Subjects With Previously Untreated Multiple Myeloma Who Are Ineligible for High Dose Therapy
France294 participantsStarted 2019-10-17
Plain-language summary
This is a Phase 3, randomized (study drug assigned by chance), open-label (participants and researchers are aware about the treatment, participants are receiving), active-controlled (study in which the experimental treatment or procedure is compared to a standard treatment or procedure), parallel-group (each group of participants will be treated at the same time), and multicenter (when more than one hospital team work on a medical research study) study in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (a blood cancer of plasma cells) and who are not candidates for high dose chemotherapy (treatment of disease, usually cancer, by chemical agents) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). The primary hypothesis of this study is that subcutaneous Daratumumab in combination with Lenalidomide will prolong progression-free survival and likely induce less toxicity as compared with Lenalidomide and dexamethasone, in elderly frail subjects with newly diagnosed Multiple myeloma who are ineligible for high dose chemotherapy and ASCT

Inclusion criteria
. Subject must be at least 65 years of age.
. Subject must have documented multiple myeloma satisfying the CRAB criteria and measurable disease.
. Newly diagnosed and not considered candidate for high-dose chemotherapy with SCT.
. Subject must have a Frailty Score ≥ 2
. Subject must have within 5 days prior to first drug intake (C1D1) pretreatment clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria during the Screening Phase:
. Measurable ISS with β2-microglobulin and albumin values for randomization
. A man who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential must agree to use a latex or synthetic condom, even if they had a successful vasectomy. All men must also not donate sperm during the study, for 4 weeks after the last dose of lenalidomide, and for 4 months after the last dose of daratumumab. Women participating in this study must be postmenopausal.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Comparison of the efficacy of Daratumumab SC injection when combined with Lenalidomide (R-Dara SC) vs Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (Rd): PFS
Timeframe: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of toxicity or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 84months
. Each subject must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study. Subject must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol, as referenced in the ICF.
Exclusion criteria
. Subject has a diagnosis of primary amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, or smoldering multiple myeloma.
. Subject has a diagnosis of Waldenström's disease, or other conditions in which IgM M-protein is present in the absence of a clonal plasma cell infiltration with lytic bone lesions.
. Subject has prior or current systemic therapy or SCT for multiple myeloma
. Subject has a history of malignancy (other than multiple myeloma) within 5 years before the date of randomization
. Subject has had radiation therapy within 14 days of randomization.
. Subject has had plasmapheresis within 28 days of randomization.
. Subject is exhibiting clinical signs of meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma.
. Subject has known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (defined as a forced expiratory volume \[FEV\] in 1 second \<60% of predicted normal), persistent asthma, or a history of asthma within the last 2 years (intermittent asthma is allowed).
