About

The aim of this study was to observe the rate of MRD conversion and the impact on survival in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients with persistent MRD positivity after induction and consolidation therapy (autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or consolidation of the original regimen) who were switched to high-intensity therapy, and to compare the rate of persistent MRD-negativity, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) between the two groups in comparison with NDMM patients who achieved MRD-negativity after the same induction and consolidation therapy.

Full description

There is still an unmet clinical need as to whether NDMM patients with persistent MRD positive would benefit from switching to high-intensity therapy. The induction regimen (Dara+/- (Vd, Rd, Pd, VRd, VPd)) was selected based on the frail or high-risk status of NDMM patients. Transplantation or consolidation and maintenance regimens were adjusted by MRD status detected by NGF.

Enrollment: 80 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Subject must be at least 18 years of age.
2. Subject must have documented newly diagnosed symptomatic multiple myeloma as defined by 2014 International Myeloma Working Group criteria.
3. Subject must have achieved a response (partial response [PR] or better based on investigator's determination of response by the IMWG criteria) to at one prior regimen.
4. Women of childbearing potential must commit to either abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of reliable birth control simultaneously. Contraception must begin 4 weeks prior to dosing and continue until at least 3 months after receiving the last dose of the study drug. A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy tests at screening within 14 days prior to randomization.
5. Each subject (or their legally acceptable representative) must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study.

Exclusion criteria

1. Subject has a diagnosis of primary amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, or smoldering multiple myeloma. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is defined by presence of serum M-protein <3 g/dL; absence of lytic bone lesions, anemia, hypercalcemia, and renal insufficiency related to the M-protein; and (if determined) proportion of plasma cells in the bone marrow of 10% or less. Smoldering multiple myeloma is defined as asymptomatic multiple myeloma with absence of related organ or tissue impairment or end-organ damage.
2. Relapsed and refractory myeloma：Relapsed and refractory myeloma is defined as disease that is nonresponsive while on salvage therapy, or progresses within 60 days of last therapy in patients who have achieved minimal response (MR) or better at some point previously before then progressing in their disease course.
3. Primary refractory myeloma：Primary refractory myeloma is defined as disease that is nonresponsive in patients who have never achieved a minimal response or better with any therapy.
4. Subject is known or suspected of not being able to comply with the study protocol。 Subject has any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the subject or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments.

Trial design
