New hope for older myeloma patients: drug combo shows promise

NCT ID NCT05527340

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing two drug combinations—iberdomide plus dexamethasone, with or without daratumumab—in 140 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients aged 65 or older who are not eligible for a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see how well these treatments control the cancer and how safe they are, especially in frail patients. Participants will receive treatment until the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable.

What this could mean

Active substance

iberdomide, dexamethasone, and daratumumab

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for older or frail patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who cannot have a stem cell transplant.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 2 trial with only 140 participants, not randomized, so results may not be definitive. The drugs can cause side effects like low blood counts, infections, and fatigue.
