Summary

This trial will assess the efficacy of a new treatment for multiple myeloma and investigate if there is a difference in responses among African American and non-African American patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with new onset renal failure, without allergies to study drugs, good performance status (able to carry out daily activities), and adequate organ function. It's not for those with substance abuse issues, certain infections (HIV, Hepatitis B/C), severe lung or heart conditions, pregnant/breastfeeding women, CNS involvement diseases like plasma cell leukemia or amyloidosis.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of daratumumab-hyaluronidase with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone in patients over four cycles. It aims to assess the treatment's effectiveness on kidney function and cancer response rate especially comparing African American patients versus others.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site due to daratumumab-hyaluronidase; nerve damage from bortezomib; increased risk of infections from lowered blood counts; mouth sores and hair loss from cyclophosphamide; weight gain and mood changes from dexamethasone.
