Summary

This trial will compare two treatments for people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not candidates for high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. The first treatment is daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. The second treatment is lenalidomide and dexamethasone. The study will look at how well each treatment works in terms of progression-free survival (PFS).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who can't have high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. They must meet specific criteria including certain blood and bone marrow conditions, agree to use effective contraception, and have a performance status score of 0-2, indicating they are relatively active.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding Daratumumab (given by injection under the skin or into a vein) to Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone improves survival without cancer progression in new multiple myeloma patients compared to just Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions, infusion-related reactions from Daratumumab, risk of infections, blood clots, fatigue, constipation or diarrhea due to Lenalidomide; plus increased sugar levels and mood changes from Dexamethasone.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Daratumumab + Lenalidomide + Dexamethasone (DRd)Active Control3 Interventions
Participants will receive Daratumumab 16 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) by intravenous infusion, once a week for 8 weeks, then once every other week for 16 weeks, thereafter once every 4 weeks, Lenalidomide 25 mg capsule orally on Day 1 through Day 21 of each 28-day cycle, Dexamethasone 40 mg orally or intravenously once a week. Following implementation of protocol amendment 8, participants still receiving treatment with daratumumab IV will have the option to switch to daratumumab SC on Day 1 of any cycle, at the discretion of the investigator. Daratumumab subcutaneous (SC) will be administered by SC injection at a fixed dose of 1800 mg once every 4 weeks until documented progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study completion. Study treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or end of study (maximum up to 7 years after last subject is randomized) whichever comes first.
Group II: Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (Rd)Active Control3 Interventions
Participants will receive Lenalidomide 25 mg capsule orally on Day 1 through Day 21 of each 28-day cycle, Dexamethasone 40 mg orally or intravenously once a week. Study treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or end of study (maximum up to 7 years after last subject is randomized) whichever comes first.
