Trial design
Randomised, open-label, arm a: vrd (velcade [bortezomib] + lenalidomide + dexamethasone) for induction, followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (asct), followed by vrd consolidation, followed by lenalidomide maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. arm b: d-vrd (daratumumab + velcade [bortezomib] + lenalidomide + dexamethasone) for induction, followed by asct, followed by d-vrd consolidation, followed by daratumumab + lenalidomide maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity; subjects in arm b with cr or better and sustained mrd negativity per protocol discontinue daratumumab after specified mrd and duration criteria and continue lenalidomide maintenance, with rules for restarting daratumumab on mrd recurrence.-controlled, adaptive Phase III trial.

- Arm A: VRd (VELCADE [bortezomib] + lenalidomide + dexamethasone) for induction, followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), followed by VRd consolidation, followed by lenalidomide maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Arm B: D-VRd (daratumumab + VELCADE [bortezomib] + lenalidomide + dexamethasone) for induction, followed by ASCT, followed by D-VRd consolidation, followed by daratumumab + lenalidomide maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity; subjects in Arm B with CR or better and sustained MRD negativity per protocol discontinue daratumumab after specified MRD and duration criteria and continue lenalidomide maintenance, with rules for restarting daratumumab on MRD recurrence.
- Adaptive
- True, stopping/holding rules based on sustained MRD negativity (subjects in Arm B who achieve CR or better will stop daratumumab after sustained MRD negativity at threshold 10^-5 for 12 months and after a minimum of 24 months maintenance; reinitiation criteria specified if MRD recurrence to 10^-4 or confirmed loss of CR without IMWG-defined progression).
