New weapon against aggressive blood cancer shows promise

NCT ID NCT03004287

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a newer drug called daratumumab to the standard 'Total Therapy' approach helps patients with high-risk multiple myeloma live longer without their cancer getting worse. The trial involves 50 newly diagnosed patients who will receive the drug combination alongside chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. Researchers hope this approach will improve treatment effectiveness while potentially reducing side effects.
