Monoclonal Antibody-Based Sequential Therapy for Deep Remission in Multiple Myeloma

NCT03224507

Description:

Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell disorder, is the second most common hematologic malignancy in the U.S. No standard curative therapy has yet been found. A variety of therapeutic measures including high dose melphalan, induction therapy, and continuous therapy have been used but the goal of complete response without relapse has not been achieved. More active treatment regimens and better tools for response assessment are needed.

Purpose

Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell disorder, is the second most common hematologic malignancy in the U.S. No standard curative therapy has yet been found. A variety of therapeutic measures including high dose melphalan, induction therapy, and continuous therapy have been used but the goal of complete response without relapse has not been achieved. More active treatment regimens and better tools for response assessment are needed.

Detailed Description

      This trial will assess the safety and efficacy of an induction therapy using the combination
      of dexamethasone, lenalidomide (revlimid), daratumumab (Darzalex) and carfilzomib (Kyprolis)
      to treat patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The therapy with KRdD (Kyprolis,
      Revlimid, dexamethasone, Darzalex) will be followed by autologous hematopoietic cell
      transplantation (auto-HCT) and KRdD consolidation. Duration of therapy will be guided by
      eradication of minimal residual disease (MRD). The hypothesis is that the KRdD therapy
      particularly in combination with the auto-HCT will be safe and lead to deep remission.
      Patients who become MRD- will discontinue therapy (no maintenance therapy) and be actively
      monitored for resurgence of MRD or clinical relapse.

Time Frame:Baseline until MRD(-) is reached estimated to be up to 15 months.
Safety Issue:
Description:The primary endpoint of MRD(-) rate, or percentage of patients with MRD(-) remissions, will be estimated along with two-sided 95% confidence interval using Clopper-Pearson exact method. Simon's optimal two-stage design will be utilized in determining the rate of MRD(-) cases. MRD assessment will be done with ClonoSEQ to identify myeloma-specific sequences.

Measure:Percentage of patients with auto-HCT that convert from positive to negative MRD
Time Frame:From baseline up to an estimated 9 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The primary endpoint of MRD(-) rate will be estimated along with two-sided 95% confidence interval using Clopper-Pearson exact method.
