Summary

This trial studies 3 treatment combos of 4 drugs to find best way to treat newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not suitable for stem cell transplant due to age or health issues. They must have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and no severe neuropathy or other cancers that could affect the study. Pregnant individuals can't participate, and those of reproductive potential must use contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial compares three drug combinations as initial treatment followed by maintenance therapy in frail or intermediate-fit patients with multiple myeloma. It tests Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone, and Daratumumab/Hyaluronidase-fihj to find which regimen best controls the cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include nerve damage (neuropathy), blood clots, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, fatigue, allergic reactions to monoclonal antibodies like daratumumab/hyaluronidase-fihj and steroid-related issues such as high blood sugar from dexamethasone.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm III (DRd-DR):Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
INDUCTION CYCLES 1-9: Patients receive daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2, days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-6, and day 1 of cycles 7-9, lenalidomide PO on days 1-21 of each cycle, and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE CYCLES 10+: Patients receive daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj SC on day 1 of each cycle and lenalidomide PO on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE CYCLES 10+: Patients receive lenalidomide PO on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group III: Arm I (VRd-Lite)Active Control5 Interventions
INDUCTION CYCLES 1-9: Patients receive bortezomib SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle, lenalidomide PO on days 1-21 of each cycle, and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle.
