About this study

Official title: Study of Daratumumab in Combination With Bortezomib (VELCADE), Thalidomide, and Dexamethasone (VTD) in the First Line Treatment of Transplant Eligible Subjects With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of daratumumab to Bortezomib, Thalidomide and Dexamethasone will increase the stringent complete response rate after consolidation therapy and increase the progression free survival after daratumumab maintenance therapy in transplant eligible participants with previously untreated Multiple Myeloma.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, open-label (identity of assigned treatment will be known to participants and study staff), 2-arm (2 treatment groups), multicenter study of daratumumab in participants diagnosed with previously untreated Multiple Myeloma who are eligible for high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (transplantation of own bone marrow). Participants will be randomized (assigned by chance) to one of 2 treatment groups to either receive daratumumab plus bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone or bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone for induction (before transplantation) and consolidation (after transplantation) treatment. All responders will then be re-randomized (assigned by chance) to one of 2 treatment groups to receive maintenance treatment with daratumumab only or observation (no treatment). The study will include a 28-Day Screening Phase, a Treatment Phase of 6 treatment cycles (each cycle is 4 weeks in duration for total period of 30 weeks), and a Follow up Phase of 2 years. The total duration for each participant in the study will be approximately 138 weeks. The end of the study will occur approximately 5 years after the last participant is randomized in the second phase of the study. Disease assessments will be performed every 4 weeks in the first phase of the study and then every 8 weeks in the second phase of the study. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-Consolidation Stringent Complete Response (sCR) Rate

    Post-consolidation sCR rate is defined as the percentage of ITT subjects who achieved or maintained sCR status within 30 days of Day 100 post Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT). The sCR status is assessed using the computerized algorithm according to IMWG response criteria, and must be achieved on or prior to start of subsequent therapies. Subjects must not die or progress by Day 100 post ASCT.

    According to the IMWG consensus recommendations for multiple myeloma treatment response criteria from 2006, the stringent complete response (sCR) was defined by a negative immunofixation on the serum and urine, and a disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow, plus normal free-light chain ratio and the absence of clonal bone marrow plasma cells by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence or 2- to 4-color flow cytometry.

    Measured: At day 100 post Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), up to 114 days post ASCT

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Post Completion of Maintenance Therapy

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) post completion of maintenance therapy is defined as the duration from the date of second randomization to either progressive disease (according to the IMWG criteria specified in the protocol), or death, whichever occurs first (=all these considered as events) at the completion of Maintenance therapy.

    Measured: From the date of second randomization to either progressive disease or death which ever occurred first, with a median follow-up time of 35.4 months (cut-off for analysis was 26 months after the last rando 2 date).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) From First Randomization up to the End of the Study

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the duration from the date of first randomization to either progressive disease (according to the IMWG criteria specified in the protocol), or death, whichever occurs first (=all these considered as events) at the end of the study

    Measured: From the date of first randomization to either progressive disease or death which ever occurred first, with a median follow-up time of 80.1 months at the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bortezomib (VELCADE), Thalidomide, and Dexamethasone (VTD), Bortezomib, Thalidomide, Dexamethasone (VTD) + daratumumab and Daratumumab in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Intergroupe Francophone du Myelome at 107 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 107 sites in France, Netherlands, Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Apr 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-Consolidation Stringent Complete Response (sCR) Rate (time frame: At day 100 post Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), up to 114 days post ASCT). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02541383, which also lists 11 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2025.
