Purpose

The purpose of this study to determine if the addition of daratumumab to bortezomib + lenalidomide + dexamethasone (VRd) will improve overall minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate compared with VRd alone.

Detailed Description

      This study will evaluate participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) for whom
      hematopoietic stem cell transplant is not planned as initial therapy. The data available from
      other available studies suggests that addition of daratumumab with Velcade (bortezomib),
      lenalidomide, and dexamethasone [VRd] is anticipated to improve the response rates and the
      depth of response and may lead to improved long-term outcomes in newly diagnosed participants
      with MM. Daratumumab targets CD38, a protein expressed on the surface of MM cells and other
      hematopoietic cells. Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor, which plays a critical role in the
      pathogenesis of MM. Lenalidomide has cytotoxic effects on myeloma cells and is capable of
      inducing apoptosis, or programmed cell death and dexamethasone induces apoptosis in MM cells.
      The rationale for the study is to utilize the subcutaneous (SC) formulation of daratumumab
      instead of the intravenous (IV) formulation, which is expected to provide similar exposure
      and is expected to limit additional toxicity to participants, treated with this quadruplet
      regimen. The study will consist of 3 phases: Screening (up to 28 days before randomization),
      Treatment phase (from Cycle 1 [21 days] Day 1 and continues until disease progression) and
      Follow up (Postintervention). Efficacy evaluations will include measurements of tumor
      burden/residual disease, myeloma proteins, bone marrow examinations, skeletal surveys,
      extramedullary plasmacytomas, and serum calcium corrected for albumin. Participants will
      undergo procedures like electrocardiogram (ECG), chest x-rays or full dose chest CT scans,
      Pulmonary function test (PFT), spirometry etc. during the course of study. Participants will
      also be monitored closely for adverse events (AEs), laboratory abnormalities, and clinical
      response. The duration of the study will be approximately 6.5 years.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Percentage of Participants with Negative Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Status
Time Frame:After randomization and prior to progressive disease (PD) or the start of subsequent anti-myeloma therapy approximately 2.5 years

Measure:PFS on the Next Line of Therapy
Time Frame:Time from randomization to progression on the next line of treatment or death, whichever comes first (up to approximately 6 years, or 9 years if the adaptive approach is decided at the interim)
Safety Issue:
Description:The PFS on the next line of therapy is defined as the time from randomization to progression on the next line of treatment or death, whichever comes first. Disease progression will be based on investigator judgment.
Measure:Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame:From randomization until the participant's death from any cause (up to approximately 6 years, or 9 years if the adaptive approach is decided at the interim)
Safety Issue:
Description:OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death due to any cause.
Measure:Time to Response
Time Frame:From randomization until PR or better until approximately 6 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Time to response is defined as the time between the randomization and the first efficacy evaluation at which the participant meets all criteria for PR or better.
Measure:Duration of Response (DOR)
Time Frame:From initial documentation of response to the date of PD until approximately 6 years
Safety Issue:
Description:DOR is calculated from the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) to the date of first documented evidence of PD, as defined in the IMWG evaluation before the start of any subsequent anti-myeloma therapy.

Measure:Minimum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmin) of Daratumumab
Time Frame:Predose, C1D1 (each cycle of 28 days), C3D1, C9D1, C12D1, and post dose C1D4, C3D4, Post-treatment Week 8 (Cycle 1 to 8 is of 21 days; Cycle 9 and onwards are of 28 days)

Measure:Change from Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 item (EORTC QLQ-C30)
Time Frame:Baseline, up to 6 years (end of study)
Safety Issue:
Description:The EORTC- QLQ-Core-30 includes 30 items that make up 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales (pain, fatigue, and nausea/vomiting), and 6 single symptom items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The recall period is 1 week ("past week") and responses are reported using a verbal and numeric rating scales. The item and scale scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale. A higher score represents greater HRQoL, better functioning, and more (worse) symptoms.
Measure:Change from Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Multiple Myeloma 20-item (EORTC QLQ-MY20)
Time Frame:Baseline, up to 6 years (end of study)

Time Frame:Baseline, up to 6 years (end of study)
Safety Issue:
Description:The EQ-5D-5L is a generic measure of health status. The EQ-5D-5L is a 5-item questionnaire that assesses 5 domains including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression plus a visual analog scale rating "health today" with anchors ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). The scores for the 5 separate questions are categorical and cannot be analyzed as cardinal numbers.
