Description:
The REMNANT study will evaluate whether treating minimal residual disease (MRD) relapse after
first line treatment prolongs progression free survival and overall survival for myeloma
patients versus treating relapse after first line treatment at progressive disease. To
establish a homogenous group of MRD negative patients after first line treatment including
autologous stem cell transplantation, patients are enrolled at diagnosis and treated with
Norwegian standard of care first line treatment. MRD negative patients will move on to the
randomized part.

Purpose
The REMNANT study will evaluate whether treating minimal residual disease (MRD) relapse after
first line treatment prolongs progression free survival and overall survival for myeloma
patients versus treating relapse after first line treatment at progressive disease. To
establish a homogenous group of MRD negative patients after first line treatment including
autologous stem cell transplantation, patients are enrolled at diagnosis and treated with
Norwegian standard of care first line treatment. MRD negative patients will move on to the
randomized part.
Detailed Description
391 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma eligible for high dose therapy with
autologous stem cell support will be included in the phase II part of the study and receive
standard of care first line treatment according to Norwegian national guidelines; bortezomib-
lenalidomide - dexamethasone for 4 pre-transplant induction and 4 post-transplant
consolidation cycles (all 21-d cycles). After induction patients will undergo tandem or
single ASCT, depending on toxicity and response to first ASCT. The primary endpoint of the
phase 2 part of the study is the number of patients who achieve MRD negative (Euroflow NGF 10
-5 ) complete response 30-45 days post consolidation. Patients (176) achieving MRD negative
complete response will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive second line treatment
at MRD reappearance (arm A) or at progressive disease as defined by the IMWG criteria (arm
B). Randomization will be stratified by R-ISS stage at diagnosis and single vs tandem ASCT.
Patients in arm A will be followed with MRD assessment every 4 month and start second line
treatment at loss of MRD negative CR. Patients in arm B will be followed up by standard
criteria and start second line treatment at progressive disease. Both arms will receive the
same 2.L treatment; carfilzomib - dexamethasone - daratumumab. (all 28-d cycles) Second line
treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable AEs or patient withdrawal. In
arm A MRD Euroflow will be assessed after 6 and 18 months of 2L therapy. In arm B MRD
Euroflow will be assessed if >CR is achieved but not before 6 months of 2 L therapy, and
again after 12 consecutive months.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria part one:
- Each patient must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the
study:
1. Patient with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (IMWG criteria) eligible for
high-dose therapy and ASCT.
2. Patient must be >18 and < 75 years of age at the time of signing the informed
consent
3. Must have measurable disease as defined by the International Myeloma Working
Group; serum monoclonal paraprotein (M-protein) level > 10 g/L or light chain
multiple myeloma without measurable disease in the serum; serum immunoglobulin
FLC > 100 mg/L and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda FLC ratio.
4. Voluntary written informed consent
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2.
ECOG 3 can be enrolled if caused by myeloma.
6. Patient must be willing and able to adhere to the study protocol visit schedule
and other protocol requirements.
7. Female of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a confirmed negative serum
pregnancy test within 7 days prior to inclusion.
8. FCBP and male subject who are sexually active with FCBP must agree to use highly
effective concomitant methods of contraceptive during the study and for at least
28 days following the last study drug dose. Male subjects must use contraception
and refrain from donating sperm for at least 28 days after the last dose of
lenalidomide according to Pregnancy Prevention Plan (Appendix 4: Contraceptive
Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy Information).
Inclusion Criteria part two:
- Each patient must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the
study
1. Patient must be MRD negative measured by Euroflow NGF after 1.L therapy. The
cutoff for inclusion into part 2 will be 100 PC per 10 mill. nucleated cells
monitored in BM.
2. Has received 1.L treatment in part 1 of the study.
3. ECOG performance status score 0, 1 or 2
Exclusion Criteria part one:
1. Received more than one cycle of induction treatment for multiple myeloma.
2. Patient with ongoing or active systemic infection, active hepatitis B or C virus
infection or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive
3. Concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease that is incompatible to HDM and
ASCT or that will likely result in reduced study compliance and reduce ability to
follow study procedures, or that in the opinion of the investigator, would constitute
a hazard for participating in this study.
4. No active malignancy with a lower life expectancy than myeloma
5. Female patient who have a positive serum pregnancy test during the screening period.
6. Female patient who is lactating during the screening period but are not willing to
stop lactating prior to the first treatment cycle starts.
7. Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues, or excipients in the
various formulations of any agent.
Exclusion Criteria part two:
1. No active malignancy with a lower life expectancy than myeloma
2. Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues, or excipients in the
various formulations of any agent
