About this study

Official title: A Single-arm Prospective Study of the Treatment in High-risk Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma With Minimal Residual Disease Detection

The goal of this study is to evaluate sustained MRD negativity for one year in DKRD induction \& consolidation therapy +/- ASCT in newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma patients. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen of Daratumumab in combination with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (DKRD) +/- ASCT for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma. Participants will receive bortezomib based induction therapy for one cycle, and then DKRD induction for 3 cycles(+ASCT), DKRD consolidation for 2-4 cycles, and DKR maintenance treatment(adjusted according to MRD negativity after consolidation therapy)

Read the detailed description

Daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone are commonly used drugs for multiple myeloma. The efficacy of their combination has been proven in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients, including high-risk patients, while there are no relevant data in the Chinese population. Therefore, the efficacy of DKRd regimen in Chinese HR-NDMM patients needs to be further explored.

It is a prospective, single-arm study. High risk(HR)-NDMM Patients with will be recruited and their baseline data will be collected. Patients will be treated with bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the first cycle in order to urgently relieve bone pain, renal insufficiency, hypercalcemia and other symptoms, during which screening and evaluation is conducted. And then patients will be treated with 3 cycles of daratumumab, carfilzomib (K) lenalidomide (R) combined with dexamethasone (d), after which stem cells were collected from transplant-eligible, followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, two cycles of DKRD consolidation, DKR maintenance treatment for more than one year. If continuous MRD negativity for more than one year, patients will be treated with only lenalidomide maintenance. Transplant-noneligible patients will be treated with DKRD for 4-cycles consolidation therapy without transplantation, and then entered DKR maintenance therapy. If patients with continuous MRD negativity for more than one year will be treated with only lenalidomide maintenance. Follow-up was conducted and outcome indicators were collected to explore the efficacy and safety of DKRd treatment in HR-NDMM patients. The results of this study are expected to provide new treatment options and corresponding dosages for Chinese HR-NDMM patients, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing the overall disease burden.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Carfilzomib, Daratumumab and Lenalidomide in people with Newly Diagnosed and High Risk, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University at 1 site in China.

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 12 inclusion and 15 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Chengcheng Fu (15206138158, 793877006@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MRD negative rate (time frame: Completion of consolidation therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Jun 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
