This phase I trial tests the effect of using Duffy null specific dose modification guidelines in treating multiple myeloma and stage II and III triple negative breast cancer patients with the Duffy null (DN) phenotype. People with the DN phenotype, a blood subtype common in some populations, often have lower neutrophil counts (a white blood cell). Standard dosing guidelines for chemotherapy, including dexamethasone, bortezomib, lenalidomide, daratumumab (Dara-RVD), pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, carboplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (Keynote 522), may not account for these naturally lower counts and may lead to unnecessary dose reductions or treatment delays, which can worsen cancer outcomes. Bortezomib blocks several molecular pathways in a cell and may cause tumor cells to die. It is a type of proteasome inhibitor and a type of dipeptidyl boronic acid. Lenalidomide may help the immune system kill abnormal blood cells or tumor cells. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Lenalidomide is a type of antiangiogenesis agent and a type of immunomodulating agent. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and tumor cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Doxorubicin comes from the bacterium Streptomyces peucetius. It damages deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. It is a type of anthracycline antitumor antibiotic. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell’s DNA and may kill tumor cells. It may also lower the body’s immune response. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving planned chemotherapy with dose adjustments based on DN status and neutrophil counts may be safe and tolerable and may avoid dose reductions and neutropenic fever in patients with multiple myeloma or stage II/III triple negative breast cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine avoided or reduced dose modifications using DN-specific dose modification parameters for the regimens combined.
II. To determine the cumulative incidence of neutropenic fever for the regimens combined.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine avoided or reduced dose modifications using DN-specific dose modification parameters for each regimen individually.
II. To determine the cumulative incidence of neutropenic fever for each regimen individually.
III. To determine overall dose intensity using DN-specific dose modification parameters.
IV. To determine the safety of using DN-specific dose modification parameters.
V. For myeloma participants, end of treatment response will be examined.
VI. For breast cancer participants, pathological response and complete response rate will be examined.
CORRELATIVE STUDY OBJECTIVES:
I. To characterize participants' social determinants of health, knowledge of DN phenotype, reasons for interest or non-interest in trial participation.
II. To characterize participant views related to having DN phenotype and preferences related to a future comparative effectiveness trial we plan to conduct based on the present trial.
III. To assess differences in neutrophil-based dose-modifications and adverse events between non-DN observational study participants and DN participants enrolled in the trial.
OUTLINE: Duffy null patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. Duffy non-null patients are assigned to observational study. Patients not interested in the treatment intervention are assigned to correlative study.
COHORT 1 (DARA-RVD): Patients receive dexamethasone orally (PO) on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23 of cycles 1-6, bortezomib subcutaneously (SC) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-6, lenalidomide PO on days 1-21 of cycles 1-6, and daratumumab SC over 3-5 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1 and 2, then on days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-6. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
COHORT 2 (KEYNOTE 522): Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1, paclitaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15, and carboplatin IV over 15-60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 or on day 1 of cycles 1-4. Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Starting with cycle 5, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 every 21 days for up to 4 cycles. Patients also receive doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes and cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of cycles 5-8. Cycles repeat every 14 or 21 days at clinician discretion for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
OBSERVATIONAL STUDY: Patients undergo observation throughout the study.
CORRELATIVE STUDY: Patients complete a survey on study.
blood sample collection and positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and at 3 months.
