Study summary

Currently, daratumumab or isatuximab are given continuously (non-stop), along side lenalidomide, and dexamethasone as part of multiple myeloma treatment. are given continuously (non-stop). Recent observations suggest that stopping daratumumab or isatuximb after about a year and a half of treatment may work just as well as giving them continuously with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. Sometimes, bortezomib is also given. This study is being done to answer the question: is less daratumumab or isatuximab treatment as good as more?

Read the detailed description

The usual approach for people with myeloma who are not having a stem cell transplant is treatment with daratumumab or isatuximab in combination with lenalidomide, and dexamethasone. These drugs are given continuously until they are no longer effective or cause major side effects.

Those that decide to take part in this study, will be randomly placed in one of two groups. If in the usual care group, patients will continue all the myeloma medicines currently being taken. If in the experimental group, patients will stop the daratumumab or isatuximab injection, and continue taking the myeloma tablets currently being taken. Regardless of which group, patients will stay on treatment indefinitely as long they are benefiting from it.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma that are transplant-ineligible
  • Measurable disease at the time of diagnosis, as defined by at least one of the following criteria: Serum monoclonal protein (M-protein) ≥ 5 g/L; Urine M-protein ≥ 200 mg/24 hours; Involved serum free light chain measurement ≥ 100 mg/L, provided serum FLC ration is abnormal; For IgA patients whose disease can only be reliably measured by serum quantitative immunoglobulin ≥ 750 mg/dL
  • Completed 18-20 cycles of daratumumab-lenalidomide-dexamethasone or isatuximab-lenalidomide-dexamethasone.
  • Obtained at least a partial response per the standard 2016 IMWG criteria
  • ECOG performance status 0-3
  • Participant is able (i.e. sufficiently fluent) and willing to complete the quality of life and/or health utility questionnaires in English, French, or a provided validated language.
  • Participant consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and regulatory requirements.
  • Participants must be accessible for treatment and follow-up.
  • In accordance with CCTG policy, protocol treatment is to begin within 2 working days of participant enrollment.
  • Participants of childbearing potential must have agreed to use a highly effective contraceptive method.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known history of concurrent amyloid light chain amyloidosis, POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes), and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.
  • Patients receiving concurrent treatment with other anti-cancer therapy that would impact the ability to comply with protocol treatment are ineligible. Note: Participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of protocol treatment are eligible for this trial

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression-Free Survival

    PFS is defined as the time from date of enrollment to date of first documentation of disease progression

    Time frame: 9.1 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival

    Time from enrollment to death from any cause

    Time frame: 9.1 years

  2. Partial Response or Better as assessed by IMWG Criteria

    Time frame: 9.1 years

  3. Incidence of Treatment-Related Grade 3-5 Adverse Events and all infections based on CTCAE 5.0

    Time frame: 9.1 years

  4. Time to Next Treatment

    Time from enrollment to the start of next-line treatment

    Time frame: 9.1 years

  5. Post-protocol Therapy Documentation checklist

    Documentation of patients 2nd line treatment after treatment completion of daratumumab, or isatuximab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone

    Time frame: 9.1 years

  6. Quality of Life Utilizing EORTC QLQ-C30

    Time frame: 9.1 years

  7. Quality of Life Utilizing FACIT-COST

    Time frame: 9.1 years

  8. Health Economic Analyses Utilizing EQ-5D-5L

    Value is calculated by determining the incremental costs and benefits (life years, quality adjusted life years) across the two treatment arms from two perspectives, a health system and a societal perspective

    Time frame: 9.1 years
