Summary

This trial is studying elotuzumab in combination with lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone to treat patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma patients without prior malignancies, except certain treated cases. They must not have POEMS syndrome or CNS involvement by MM, and should meet specific blood count and organ function criteria. Women of childbearing age need a negative pregnancy test and agreed birth control measures. Participants must consent to specimen banking for research.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding Elotuzumab to the combination of Lenalidomide, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone improves treatment outcomes in high-risk multiple myeloma patients. It's a phase I/II trial that also aims to determine the best dose with acceptable side effects.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune response, nerve damage (neuropathy), fatigue, digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea, blood clots, risk of infection due to low white blood cell counts, and possible impact on liver or kidney functions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm II (bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone, elotuzumab)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
INDUCTION: Patients receive bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone as in Arm I. Patients also receive elotuzumab IV on days 1, 8, and 15 of courses 1 and 2 and on days 1 and 11 of courses 3-8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE: Patients receive bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone as in Arm I. Patients also receive elotuzumab IV on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm I (bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone)Active Control4 Interventions
INDUCTION: Patients receive bortezomib SC or IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11; lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-14; and dexamethasone PO or IV on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (patients who received a course of chemotherapy prior to registration will begin protocol treatment with course 2 and receive a total of 7 courses of protocol therapy). MAINTENANCE: Patients receive bortezomib SC or IV on days 1, 8, and 15; lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21; and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
