Testing the Addition of a New Drug, Daratumumab and Hyaluronidase-fihj, to the Usual Treatment (Lenalidomide) as Post-stem Cell Transplant Treatment for Multiple Myeloma, DRAMMATIC Study

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase III trial compares the effect of usual treatment (lenalidomide) to using daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj plus the usual treatment after stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma. This drug combination may help patients live longer after their stem cell transplant. Another purpose of this study is to learn if the presence and amount of minimal residual disease (MRD) can help doctors predict when a patient’s multiple myeloma will get worse. MRD is the name for the small number of cancer cells that remain in the patient even after their multiple myeloma has been treated and they have no symptoms of the disease. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, 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 daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj, may induce changes in body’s immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma compared to lenalidomide alone.
