Study summary

This phase III trial studies how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone works with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab may work better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(19)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

CTCAE grade

The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.

1
Mild.
2
Moderate.
3
Severe.
4
Life-threatening.
5
Death due to the event.

“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method and compared using a stratified log-rank test. Stratified cox proportional hazards regression will produce a treatment hazard ratio estimate.

    Time frame: From randomization to death due to any cause, or censored at date last known alive, assessed up to 15 years

  2. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) score

    A general effect size measure of half standard deviation will be used to establish the minimally important difference. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation \[SD\], median, range) will be used to evaluate the distribution of levels and changes for the set of health-related quality of life (QOL) evaluations. Levels and changes will also be assessed graphically. Changes from baseline will be analyzed using linear mixed models based on restricted maximum likelihood estimation with covariance matrix maximizing Akaike information criteria. Models with treatment, assessment time, and treatment by assessment time interaction with and without other predictors will be fit. If there is substantial missingness, will analyze the data according to the methods described in Schluchter and Schluchter, Greene and Beck.

    Time frame: Baseline to 24 cycles of treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Will be estimated using the KM method and compared using a stratified log-rank test. Stratified cox proportional hazards regression will produce a treatment hazard ratio estimate.

    Time frame: From randomization until disease progression or death due to any cause, or censored at date of last disease evaluation, assessed up to 15 years

  2. Best response on treatment based on International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria

    Response will be tabulated by category. Response rates of very good partial response (VGPR) or better and partial response (PR) or better will be compared using the Fisher's exact test. Ineligible patients are excluded from the analysis and unevaluable patients are counted in the denominator.

    Time frame: At 12 and 24 months

  3. Incidence of adverse events by worst grade and type for treated patients determined using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0

    Will monitor the toxicities experienced by all treated patients. Will compare rates of worst grade 3 or higher non-hematologic treatment-related events using the Fisher's exact test.

    Time frame: Up to 28 days post-treatment

  4. Incidence of grade 3 or higher infusion-related reactions over course 1 determined based on CTCAE

    Will monitor the toxicities experienced by all treated patients. Will compare rates of worst grade 3 or higher non-hematologic treatment-related events using the Fisher's exact test.

    Time frame: During cycle 1 of treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

  5. Stem cell (SC) mobilization failure

    Defined as not collecting a minimum of 5x10\^6 CD34 cells per kilogram weight. SC mobilization and type of growth factor support will be summarized overall and by treatment arm with descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: After 4 to 6 cycles of treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

  6. Early SC mobilization feasibility

    Defined as the proportion of patients less than 65 years of age treated for 6 courses who opt for SC mobilization. SC mobilization and type of growth factor support will be summarized overall and by treatment arm with descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: Up to 6 cycles of treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

  7. Type of growth factor support

    SC mobilization and type of growth factor support will be summarized overall and by treatment arm with descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: During 4 to 6 cycles of treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

  8. Change in FACT-G score

    A general effect size measure of half standard deviation will be used to establish the minimally important difference. Descriptive statistics (mean, SD, median, range) will be used to evaluate the distribution of levels and changes for the set of health-related QOL evaluations. Levels and changes will also be assessed graphically. Changes from baseline will be analyzed using linear mixed models based on restricted maximum likelihood estimation with covariance matrix maximizing Akaike information criteria. Models with treatment, assessment time, and treatment by assessment time interaction with and without other predictors will be fit. If there is substantial missingness, will analyze the data according to the methods described in Schluchter and Schluchter, Greene and Beck.

    Time frame: From treatment end to 6 months post-treatment

  9. Levels of FACT-G score at each assessment time point

    A general effect size measure of half standard deviation will be used to establish the minimally important difference. Descriptive statistics (mean, SD, median, range) will be used to evaluate the distribution of levels and changes for the set of health-related QOL evaluations. Levels and changes will also be assessed graphically. Changes from baseline will be analyzed using linear mixed models based on restricted maximum likelihood estimation with covariance matrix maximizing Akaike information criteria. Models with treatment, assessment time, and treatment by assessment time interaction with and without other predictors will be fit. If there is substantial missingness, will analyze the data according to the methods described in Schluchter and Schluchter, Greene and Beck.

    Time frame: From baseline, at 3, f7, 13, 19 cycles of treatment, and early discontinuation of treatment, assessed up to 24 cycles of treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

  10. Time to worsening of FACT-G

    Will be analyzed with Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression with the related treatment arm as the only factor. Correlation between time to worsening of symptoms with PFS and OS will be assessed with Kendall's Tau adjusted for censored observations.

    Time frame: From baseline until a decrease of 9 points, or censored at date of last assessment, assessed up to 6 months post-treatment

Other outcomes

  1. Cumulative dose calculated as the sum of all doses taken across all cycles

    Cumulative dose will be calculated overall and by cycle. Data will be summarized by treatment arm with descriptive statistics and graphically over time. Patients will be classified into dichotomous groups based on a 75% relative dose intensity cutoff (\< 75% versus \[vs\] \>= 75% represents poor vs good treatment adherence). The proportion of patients with poor lenalidomide treatment adherence will be compared between arms using the Fisher's exact test. In addition, multi-variable logistic regression analysis will be conducted to identify the baseline factors associated with calculated good treatment adherence.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  2. Dose intensity calculated as cumulative dose received divided by treatment duration

    Dose intensity will be calculated overall and by cycle. Data will be summarized by treatment arm with descriptive statistics and graphically over time. Patients will be classified into dichotomous groups based on a 75% relative dose intensity cutoff (\< 75% vs \>= 75% represents poor vs good treatment adherence). The proportion of patients with poor lenalidomide treatment adherence will be compared between arms using the Fisher's exact test. In addition, multi-variable logistic regression analysis will be conducted to identify the baseline factors associated with calculated good treatment adherence.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  3. Relative dose intensity calculated as the dose intensity divided by planned dose intensity

    Dose intensity will be calculated overall and by cycle. Data will be summarized by treatment arm with descriptive statistics and graphically over time. Patients will be classified into dichotomous groups based on a 75% relative dose intensity cutoff (\< 75% vs \>= 75% represents poor vs good treatment adherence). The proportion of patients with poor lenalidomide treatment adherence will be compared between arms using the Fisher's exact test. In addition, multi-variable logistic regression analysis will be conducted to identify the baseline factors associated with calculated good treatment adherence.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  4. Duration of treatment

    Treatment duration in each arm will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods and compared between arms with the log-rank test.

    Time frame: From randomization to date off treatment, or censored at the date of last treatment, assessed up to 24 months

  5. Time to progression

    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Time frame: From randomization to progression, or censored at date of last disease evaluation, assessed up to 15 years

  6. Presence, frequency, interference, amount and/or severity of select patient reported outcomes (PRO)-CTCAEs

    Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, range) will be used to summarize selected PRO-CTCAEs tabulated at each cycle overall and by arm. Will map PRO-CTCAEs with provider reported adverse events (AEs) and evaluate differences in incidence and worst severity. Items correspond to 5 attributes measured \[frequency (F), severity (S), interference (I), presence/absence (P) and amount (A)\] based on multiple choice questions. Response for each attribute except P which is binary is on a 5-point Likert scale with 5 indicating 'almost constantly' frequency, 'very severe' severity, 'very much' amount or 'very much' interference. An overall PRO-CTCAE score will be calculated at each time point.

    Time frame: Assessed at each treatment cycle, from cycle 1 of treatment to end of treatment, up to 24 cycles of treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

  7. Overall PRO-CTCAE score

    Defined as the sum of item scores on all symptomatic adverse events (AEs). Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize selected PRO-CTCAEs tabulated at each cycle overall and by arm. Will map PRO-CTCAEs with provider reported AEs and evaluate differences in incidence and worst severity. An overall PRO-CTCAE score will be calculated at each time point.

    Time frame: Up to 15 years

  8. Adherence Starts with Knowledge (ASK)-12 scores

    Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize ASK-12 scores tabulated at cycles 7, 13 and 19 overall and by arm. Differences between arms will be evaluated based a t-test (or Wilcoxon rank sum test). Patients will also be classified into high versus low likelihood of medication adherence groups according to tertile distributions (lowest tertile vs second and top). Association between likelihood of medication adherence and calculated treatment adherence dichotomous groups will be evaluated in patients with both ASK-12 and treatment data at cycles 7, 13 and 19 post randomization. In addition, multivariable logistic regression analysis will be conducted to identify the baseline factors associated with low likelihood of medication adherence.

    Time frame: At 7, 13, and 19 cycles of treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

  9. PRO compliance rate

    Defined as the proportion of patients who submit the given PRO instrument among those eligible at each time point which excludes those missing by design (due to death or disease progression, early treatment discontinuation).

    Time frame: Up to 15 years

  10. PRO completion rate

    Defined as the proportion of patients who complete given PRO instrument based on the instrument's scoring system among those eligible at each time point.

    Time frame: Up to 15 years

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 19, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
