Could fewer shots keep myeloma at bay? new trial tests cost-saving approach
NCT ID NCT07485647
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether giving daratumumab less often (every 8 weeks, then every 16 weeks) along with lenalidomide can work as well as the standard schedule for multiple myeloma patients after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to reduce costs and clinic visits while maintaining disease control. The study will enroll 50 adults aged 18-70 who have responded well to initial treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Daratumumab and lenalidomide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that less frequent dosing of daratumumab is just as effective, reducing treatment burden and costs for multiple myeloma patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial (50 participants) testing a reduced schedule. It may not prove non-inferiority, and results may not apply to all patients.
