Summary

This trial is testing a possible new treatment for multiple myeloma that combines three drugs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who haven't had systemic therapy yet. They must have certain levels of monoclonal protein, organ dysfunction related to myeloma, and be able to follow the study plan. Women must test negative for pregnancy and use birth control; men should also use contraception if with a female partner of childbearing potential.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a drug combo: lenalidomide, subcutaneous bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVD) as initial treatment for multiple myeloma. It includes those eligible after screening based on specific health criteria like kidney function and blood cell counts.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site from bortezomib, increased risk of infections due to lowered immunity from lenalidomide, and high blood sugar or mood changes from dexamethasone. Each patient's experience may vary.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Lenalidomide, subcutaneous Bortezomib, DexamethasoneExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Lenalidomide (R): 25 mg on days 1-14 orally Subcutaneous Bortezomib (sqV): 1.3 mg/m\^2 on days 1, 4, 8 and 11 Dexamethasone (d): 20 mg on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 and 12 Stem cell mobilization occurs at the end of Cycle 4. Participants may elect to stop treatment at the end of Induction Cycle 4 and proceed to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) with melphalan 200 mg/m\^2 conditioning, or receive a full 8 cycles of RsqVd induction therapy. RsqVd cycle duration is 21-days. Maintenance follows with the specific regimen determined by risk category. High-risk participants defined as those with International Staging System (ISS) stage II or stage III disease and/or high-risk cytogenetics including t(4;14), t(4; 16), del(17p) receive sqV of 1.3 mg/m\^2 on days 1 and 15 in addition to R 10mg (15mg after cycle 3 if tolerated) on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle. Standard-risk participants receive R monotherapy.
