An Intensive Program With Quadruplet Induction and Consolidation Plus Tandem Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Newly Diagnosed High Risk Multiple Myeloma Patients

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2027-11-08
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

According to international guidelines, upfront therapy for transplant eligible myeloma patients should include triplet induction containing proteasome inhibitor and immunomodulatory agent, autologous stem cell transplant, PI+Imid based triplet consolidation and lenalidomide maintenance. Despite this approach, virtually all MM patients experience disease relapse, especially those with High Risk disease defined by adverse cytogenetic abnormalities (i.e. del(17p), or t(14;16) or t(4;14)) detected by FISH and/or SNP arrays. Indeed, HR myeloma is associated with poorer progression free survival and overall survival and frontline therapy should therefore be improved for this subset of HR patients. The primary objective of this prospective multicenter, open label, interventional phase 2 trial is to evaluate the feasibility of an intensive program including quadruplet induction and consolidation, tandem autologous stem cell transplantation and maintenance in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients presenting with HR cytogenetic. Quadruplet induction and consolidation include carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone and daratumumab. Maintenance will include lenalidomide and daratumumab. Secondary objectives will include efficacy parameters (i.e. response rate, minimal residual disease, safety, progression free survival, overall survival).

7. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 10 to 14 days prior to therapy and repeated within 24 hours before starting study drug. They must commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin 2 acceptable methods of birth control used at the same time, beginning at least 4 weeks before initiation of lenalidomide treatment and continuing for at least 30 days after the last dose of Lenalidomide. Women must also agree to notify pregnancy or doubt upon pregnancy during the study.

8. Men must agree to not father a child and agree to use a latex condom during therapy and for 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug, even if they have had a successful vasectomy, if their partner is of childbearing potential.

9. Subject must have pretreatment clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria during the Screening Phase (Lab tests should be repeated if done more than 15 days before C1D1):
