Easier treatment schedule for multiple myeloma falls flat before it starts
NCT ID NCT06348147
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to test a less intense version of a standard four-drug combination (Dara-RVd) for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who are eligible for a stem cell transplant. The goal was to see if giving one drug (bortezomib) once a week instead of twice could still work well while causing fewer side effects like nerve damage. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-RVd)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a less frequent dosing schedule works as well as the standard, making treatment more convenient and reducing nerve damage risk.
- What could go wrong
- This trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data was collected. The approach remains unproven, and the standard schedule is still the only evidence-based option.
