Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone, followed by a stronger regimen if needed, can make multiple myeloma undetectable at a deep level (MRD-negative) in newly diagnosed patients. The treatment plan adapts based on each person's response, with additional drugs given only if cancer cells remain after initial therapy. The goal is to see if this tailored approach leads to better remission rates than standard care.

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, dexamethasone, bortezomib
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could lead to more patients achieving deep remission (MRD-negative status) and potentially better long-term outcomes for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. The adaptive design means not all patients receive the same treatment, and side effects from the drug combination could be significant.

Both transplant eligible and ineligible myeloma patients can be included in this study. If applicable, participant should be able to tolerate all treatments per investigator's evaluation, including high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) based on standard criteria at the institution where this treatment will be administered. 5. Participant must have a diagnosis of active MM according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria. 6. Participant must also have measurable disease per protocol. 7. Baseline bone marrow or tissue sample available for Clonality ID in ClonoSEQ 8. Participant must be registered in and must comply with all requirements of REMSTM program for lenalidomide. 9. Female participant who: * Is post-menopausal for at least one year prior to study enrollment, OR * Is surgically sterile, OR * If of childbearing potential, must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 10-14 days prior to and again within 24 hours of starting lenalidomide. They must also be willing to use TWO effective forms of contraception simultaneously from the time of signing the study consent until 90 days following the administration of the last dose of lenalidomide and 7 months following the administration of the last dose of bortezomib, OR * Agree to practice complete abstinence if that is aligned with their lifestyle, which does not include periodic abstinence or withdrawal. 10. Male participant, even if surgically sterilized, must agree to one of the following: * Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 90 days after the last dose of lenalidomide and 4 months following the administration of the last dose of bortezomib, OR * Agree to practice complete abstinence if that is aligned with their lifestyle, which does not include periodic abstinence or withdrawal. EXCLUSION: 1. Diagnoses of smoldering MM (SMM), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), non-secretory MM, plasma cell leukemia, AL amyloidosis, Waldenstrom's. macroglobulinemia, POEMS syndrome.

Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. * Participants with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR. * Seropositive for Hepatitis C (except in the setting of a sustained virologic response \[SVR\], defined as aviremia at least 12 weeks after completion of antiviral therapy). 19. History of additional active malignancy in the past five years (not including squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical cancer). However, malignancy treated with curative intent with \<5% chance of disease relapse / recurrence in the next two years is allowed. 20.
