Scientific Title
A Randomised phase 2 study of bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone induction (VCD) compared with VCD and daratumumab maintenance (VCDD) for the initial treatment of transplant ineligible patients with multiple myeloma
Commercial Sponsor
Janssen Pharmaceuticals
Summary
The primary purpose of this trial is to assess whether the addition of datatumumab to a velcade, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone treatment regime will cause an improvement in disease progression free survival.
Who is it for?
You may be eligible to participate in this trial if you are aged 18 years or over, have been newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma and are not a candidate for high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant.
Study details
Eligible participants will be assigned to either a velcade, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (VCD) or velcade, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone and daratumumab (VCDD) treatment arm. Both arms will receive 9 35 day cycles of treatment with the VCDD arm continuing on daratumumab maintenance monthly until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Paricipants will be required to have blood samples taken at the beginning of each cycle along with a medical exam in order for researchers to monitor whether the treatment is safe and whether it is effectively treating the myeloma.
It is hoped that the findings of this trial will establish the benefits of daratumumab in combination with VCD for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients at an early disease stage.
