Study of CyBorD (Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib, Dexamethasone) plus Daratumumab in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Melanoma Patients with Cast Nephropathy or Monoclonal Gammopathy of Renal Significance (MGRS)

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (CyBorD) with daratumumab works in treating newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with cast nephropathy or monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS). Cast nephropathy is a type of MGRS. MGRS occurs when an abnormal protein (called monoclonal protein (M-protein) is in the blood and causes kidney damage. CyBorD is a drug combination routinely used to treat multiple myeloma cast nephropathy and MGRS. This drug combination effectively kills plasma cells, the cells that produce the M-protein that damages the kidneys. Daratumumab is an antibody that blocks a protein on the surface of plasma cells, which also results in their destruction. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system to help fight infections and other harmful processes/cells/molecules. Previous studies in patients with multiple myeloma with cast nephropathy and MGRS have shown that CyBorD alone and daratumumab alone can improve kidney function. The information gained from this trial may help researchers determine whether the combination of both may be more effective together.
