Study Summary

This trial is testing how well daratumumab works in treating patients with multiple myeloma who are eligible for a transplant. Daratumumab is an antibody that may help to stop cancer cells from growing and spreading.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma who have had prior therapy but not daratumumab. They must show measurable cancer markers, be in decent physical condition (ECOG 0-2), and have adequate organ function. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those unwilling to use contraception, or individuals with certain medical conditions like severe infections, heart issues, or other cancers are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of daratumumab in treating multiple myeloma in patients eligible for a stem cell transplant. Daratumumab is an antibody that targets cancer cells to prevent their growth. The trial includes autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and lenalidomide as part of the treatment process.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Daratumumab can cause side effects such as infusion reactions (symptoms similar to allergic reactions during administration), fatigue, nausea, bone marrow suppression leading to low blood counts which increases infection risk, and potential liver enzyme changes.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (daratumumab, ASCT, lenalidomide)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
CONSOLIDATION I: Patients receive daratumumab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2, and on days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-4. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONSOLIDATION II: Beginning 8 weeks after completion of daratumumab cycle 2 or 4, patients undergo ASCT. MAINTENANCE: Within 14 days after completion of day 100 visit post-SCT, patients receive daratumumab IV on day 1 and lenalidomide PO daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who are still maintaining response continue to receive daratumumab IV every 3 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
