Summary

This trial is testing daratumumab, ixazomib, dexamethasone, and bortezomib as a possible treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are in good physical condition (ECOG PS 0-1) and have measurable disease. They can't have had certain other conditions or treatments, must agree to contraception if applicable, and be willing to follow the study rules. Pregnant women, those with allergies to study drugs, or patients treated previously with similar drugs are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of daratumumab, ixazomib, and dexamethasone against the same combo plus bortezomib in treating new multiple myeloma cases. It aims to see which regimen is more effective at stopping cancer growth by comparing these two treatment groups.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions like infusion-related symptoms, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, potential nerve damage causing numbness or pain, digestive issues such as nausea or constipation, and fatigue.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm II (DVd, DId)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
INDUCTION CYCLES 1-3: Patients receive dexamethasone IV and PO on days 1, 8, and 15, daratumumab IV on days 1, 8, and 15, and bortezomib subcutaneously (SC) on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. INDUCTION CYCLES 4-8: Patients receive dexamethasone IV and PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, daratumumab IV on days 1 and 15, and ixazomib PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 5 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Eligible patients then undergo stem cell transplant per standard of care. Patients who have at least stable disease after induction and patients who have undergone transplant continue to Maintenance. MAINTENANCE: Patients receive dexamethasone IV on day 1, daratumumab IV on day 1, and ixazomib PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm I (DId)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
INDUCTION: Patients receive dexamethasone IV and PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, daratumumab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2 and on days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-8, and ixazomib PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Eligible patients then undergo stem cell transplant per standard of care. Patients who have at least stable disease after induction and patients who have undergone transplant continue to Maintenance. MAINTENANCE: Patients receive dexamethasone IV and PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, daratumumab IV on day 1, and ixazomib PO on days 1, 8, and 15.
