New combo aims to tackle myeloma and kidney failure at once
NCT ID NCT06142396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests a combination of drugs (daratumumab, bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone) in 30 people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who also have kidney failure. The goal is to see if the treatment can shrink the cancer and improve kidney function. Researchers will also compare how well African American and non-African American patients respond.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Daratumumab-hyaluronidase combined with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (Dara-CyBorD)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for multiple myeloma patients with kidney failure, potentially improving both cancer control and kidney function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug combination may cause side effects and may not improve outcomes.
