Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd) to that of modified bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (VRd-lite), in terms of progression-free survival and minimal residual disease negativity rate in elderly participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, open-label, multicentered cohort study. This study will evaluate elderly participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) for whom hematopoietic stem cell transplant is not planned as initial therapy. All the eligible participants can be free to choose to receive either daratumumab lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd) or modified bortezomib lenalidomide and dexamethasone (VRd-lite). Daratumumab (16 milligram per kilogram \[mg/kg\]) will be administered weekly for first 8 weeks (Cycles 1 to 2) of treatment and then every other week for 16 weeks (Cycles 3 to 6), then every 4 weeks (Cycle 7 to 8). Bortezomib will be administered subcutaneously 1.3 mg/m\^2 weekly of each 28-day cycle for Cycles 1-8. Lenalidomide will be administered at a dose of 25 mg orally on Days 1 through 21 of each 28-day cycle, and dexamethasone will be administered at a dose of 20 mg twice a week for both treatment arms. Participants in both treatment arms will continue at least lenalidomide maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.The primary endpoint will be progression-free survival (PFS) and percentage of participants with Negative Minimal Residual Disease (MRD). Participant safety will be assessed throughout the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Daratumumab + lenalidomide + dexamethasone

Drug: Daratumumab Daratumumab will be administered at a dose of 16 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) by intravenous (IV) infusion, once a week for 8 weeks, then once every other week for 16 weeks, thereafter once every 4 weeks. The total induction cycle is 8.

Drug: Lenalidomide Lenalidomide will be self-administered at a dose of 25 mg orally on Day 1 to Day 21 of each 28-day cycle.

Drug: Dexamethasone Dexamethasone 20 mg orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 of each 21-day cycle for Cycles 1-8. For participant\>75, dexamethasone will be reduced to 10mg twice a week.

Then according to the risk stratification, standard risk participants will receive lenalidomide maintenance therapy while high risk participants will receive daratumumab combined with lenalidomide until progression.

No interventions assigned to this group

Modified Bortezomib+Lenalidomide+dexamethasone

Drug: Bortezomib Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m\^2 will be administered by subcutaneous(SC) injection injection weekly on Days 1, 8, 15, 22 of each 21-day cycle for Cycles 1-8.

Drug: Dexamethasone Dexamethasone 20 mg orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 of each 21-day cycle for Cycles 1-8. For participant\>75, dexamethasone will be reduced to 10mg twice a week.

Then according to the risk stratification, standard risk participants will receive lenalidomide maintenance therapy while high risk participants will receive bortezomib combined with lenalidomide until progression.

No interventions assigned to this group
