ADVANCE: A Study of Daratumumab, Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Patients With Newly-Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is being done to find out whether carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRD) or KRD and Daratumumab (KRD+DARA) might be safer and more effective ways of controlling multiple myeloma than the stand or care treatment, which is lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (VRD).

|---|---|
| Experimental: Arm A - Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (VRD) Participants in this group will receive Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone on a 21 day treatment cycle. Participants achieving a PR or better at the end of 4 cycles will continue to receive a total of 8 cycles of combination therapy. Participants with less than PR after completing 4 cycles will go off study therapy. After 8 cycles of therapy, participants who are MRD positive will have the option to receive an ASCT if stem cells were able to be extracted, before initiating maintenance therapy with Lenalidomide for up to 2 years, and patients who are MRD negative will go directly on to receive maintenance therapy with Lenalidomide for up to 2 years. |

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.*
