Promising combo tackles relapsed myeloma in early trial
NCT ID NCT01615029
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new drug called daratumumab, given together with two standard treatments (lenalidomide and dexamethasone), in 45 people whose multiple myeloma had returned or stopped responding to prior therapy. The main goal was to check safety and see how many patients responded to the combination. The trial was completed and helped determine the best dose for future studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- daratumumab (a targeted antibody) combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with multiple myeloma that has returned or stopped responding to prior therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects from the drug combination could be significant, and the treatment is not a cure.

Inclusion Criteria: * (Part 1) Have relapsed multiple myeloma after receiving a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 prior lines of therapy and be eligible for treatment with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Len/Dex) * (Part 2) Have received at least 1 prior line of therapy for multiple myeloma * Be older than or be 18 years of age * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (0-2) * Provide signed informed consent after receipt of oral and written information about the study and before any study-related activity is performed Exclusion Criteria: * Have previously received an allogenic stem cell transplant * Have received autologous stem cell transplant within 12 weeks before the first infusion * Have received antimyeloma treatment, radiotherapy, or any experimental drug or therapy within 2 weeks before the first infusion * Have discontinued lenalidomide due to any treatment-related adverse event or be refractory to any dose of lenalidomide. Refractory to lenalidomide is defined as either, participants whose disease progresses within 60 days of lenalidomide, or participants whose disease is nonresponsive while on any dose of lenalidomide. Nonresponsive disease is defined as either failure to achieve at least an minimal response (MR) or development of progressive disease (PD) while on lenalidomide
