Summary

This study tested a new drug called daratumumab, given together with two standard treatments (lenalidomide and dexamethasone), in 45 people whose multiple myeloma had returned or stopped responding to prior therapy. The main goal was to check safety and see how many patients responded to the combination. The trial was completed and helped determine the best dose for future studies.

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with multiple myeloma that has returned or stopped responding to prior therapies.
