• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must commit to either abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of reliable birth control simultaneously. This includes one highly effective form of contraception (tubal ligation, intrauterine device [IUD], hormonal [birth control pills, injections, hormonal patches, vaginal rings or implants] or partner's vasectomy) and one additional effective contraceptive method (male latex or synthetic condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap). Contraception must begin 4 weeks prior to initial dosing. Reliable contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of infertility, unless due to hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy.
• A man who is sexually active with a WOCBP must agree to use a latex or synthetic condom, even if they had a successful vasectomy. All men must also not donate sperm during the study, for 4 weeks after the last dose of lenalidomide, and for 4 months after the last dose of daratumumab.
• A WOCBP must have 2 negative serum or urine pregnancy tests first within 10 to 14 days prior to the registration date.
• Patients on chronic hormonal therapy for breast or prostate cancer or patients treated with maintenance with targeted agents but are in remission with no evidence for the primary malignancies or prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance can be included.
• All study patients must be registered into the mandatory Revlimid REMS® program and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of the REMS® program.
• Females of reproductive potential must agree to adhere to the scheduled pregnancy testing as required in the Revlimid REMS® program.
• At the time of randomization, confirmation of adequate contraceptive method(s) should be documented in the medical record.

Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR.
