Study Summary

This trial is testing Lenalidomide + Dexamethasone with or without Daratumumab to see if it can better treat patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high-risk smoldering myeloma diagnosed within the last year. Participants must not have severe heart failure, active infections, or certain other health conditions. They should not be pregnant and must use effective contraception. Prior cancer treatments are disallowed except if it was curative and the patient has been disease-free for a set period.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests lenalidomide and dexamethasone with or without daratumumab in patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. It aims to see if adding daratumumab improves outcomes by altering the immune system's response to tumor cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system, such as infusion reactions from daratumumab, blood clots due to lenalidomide, and increased risk of infections. Dexamethasone can cause mood swings, weight gain, and elevated blood sugar levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many test subjects are actively participating in this experiment?

"Indeed, the clinicaltrials.gov website contains information indicating that this study is recruiting patients. This particular trial was first posted on April 30th, 2019 and was last edited on December 1st, 2021. A total of 288 participants are needed for the study, which is taking place at 100 different sites."

Answered by AI

Are there any precedents for Daratumumab's usage in medical research?

"Manitoba Blood & Marrow Transplant Program CancerCare Manitoba was the first to study daratumumab in 2002. As of now, there are 1596 completed studies and 776 live trials being conducted, many of which taking place in Lakewood, Colorado."

Answered by AI

What is the lofty goal of this clinical trial?

"The goal of this clinical trial is to measure overall survival (OS) over a 24-cycle treatment period (each cycle lasting 28 days). Secondary outcomes include the incidence of grade 3 or higher infusion-related reactions during cycle 1, as well as the rates of worst grade 3 or higher non-hematologic treatment-related events. Response rates of very good partial response (VGPR) or better and partial response (PR) or better will also be compared. ineligible patients are excluded from the analysis and unevaluable patients are counted in the denominator. Lastly, progression-free survival (PFS) will be estimated using the"

Answered by AI

Has Daratumumab been cleared by the FDA?

"Daratumumab is considered safe according to our team's estimation, as it has received a score of 3. This is because phase 3 trials have shown some efficacy and multiple rounds of data supporting safety."

Answered by AI

What are some of the key ways that Daratumumab has been shown to be effective?

"Most often, Daratumumab is used to treat ophthalmia and sympathetic. However, it has also been shown to be effective in treating branch retinal vein occlusion, macular edema, and at least two prior systemic chemotherapy regimens."
