The purpose of this study is to compare maintenance therapy approaches in people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) that has responded well to a first round of treatment.
This trial is currently open and accepting patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare maintenance therapy approaches in people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) that has responded well to a first round of treatment. The researchers will compare giving the usual maintenance therapy (lenalidomide) with giving daratumumab as maintenance therapy, and they will look at which drug gives participants a better health-related quality of life during treatment. The researchers will measure participants' quality of life using various questionnaires. This study will help researchers find out whether this different approach of giving daratumumab as maintenance therapy is better, the same as, or worse than the usual approach.
The following criteria is a partial list of reasons why patients may be eligible to participate in this clinical trial. Further evaluation with a medical professional is required.

Results: At data cutoff in June 2024, 86 pts have been enrolled of whom 74 were evaluable (37 in len arm, 37 in dara arm) with a median follow up of 19.3 months. Of the 74 pts, median age was 70 with 44.6% ≥65yrs, 56.7% male; 70.3% White, 20.3% Black, 1.3% Asian and 8.1% other races. High risk cytogenetics were present in 32.4% in dara arm and 24.3% in len arm. In the len arm, 51.3% received quadruplets, 46% triplets and 1 pt received infusional chemotherapy. In the dara arm, 51.4% received quadruplets while 48.6% pts received triplet regimens. Dara during induction was received by 64.8% in dara arm and 56.7% in the len arm. ASCT was done in 81.1% of the len arm and 75.6% of the dara arm. Best responses to date in the len arm included 48.6% stringent complete response (sCR), 29.7% CR, 18.9% VGPR and 2.7% progression of disease and in the dara arm 70.2% sCR, 18.9% CR and 10.9% VGPR. Among those , MRD negativity was achieved at screening, year 1 and year 2 in len arm (43.2% [16/37], 48.1% [13/27], 64.3% [9/14]) and in dara arm (51.4% [19/37], 59.1% [13/22], 71.4% [10/14]) respectively. Pts on len arm demonstrated 12-month PFS of 89.7% (n=21) and 24-month PFS of 74.4% (n=9) while pts on dara arm 12-month PFS of 93.3% (n=24) and 24month PFS of 83.1% (n=10). Of 17 pts that came off the study prior to end of treatment, 11 were due to disease progression (6 in len arm; 5 in dara arm) and 6 due to other reasons [len arm - neuropathy (n=2), arthralgia (n=1); dara arm - pneumonitis (n=1), osteomyelitis (n=1) and new CML needing treatment (n=1)].
Conclusions: The study enrolled a racially diverse population and early efficacy data suggest similar best response rates and 12- and 24-month PFS between dara and len arms. These data add to ongoing trials utilizing anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as part of maintenance strategies (NCT04071457; NCT03617731). Given encouraging efficacy signals, antiCD38mAbs may be considered an effective maintenance strategy, especially in pts with len intolerance. Updated data will be presented at the meeting.
