Study Summary

This trial is testing daratumumab, hyaluronidase-fihj, and pomalidomide to see if they work well together to treat patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma post-stem cell transplant. They must have had a partial response to salvage therapy, be within 60-180 days post-transplant, and have an ECOG status of 0-2. Key eligibility includes adequate kidney function (creatinine <= 2.5 mg/dL), platelet count >= 50,000/mm^3, neutrophil count >= 1000/mm^3, liver enzymes up to three times the normal limit, and no uncontrolled heart arrhythmias.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests daratumumab with hyaluronidase-fihj and pomalidomide in treating relapsed multiple myeloma after stem cell transplant. Daratumumab is designed to stop cancer cells from growing by targeting specific proteins on their surface while pomalidomide aims to kill or halt the division of cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include infusion reactions related to daratumumab such as coughing or shortness of breath during administration; fatigue; nausea; diarrhea; low blood counts leading to increased infection risk; and possible liver enzyme changes.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (daratumumab)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Beginning 60-120 days after transplant, participants receive daratumumab IV over 4-8 hours on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of courses 1 and 2 and days 1 and 15 of courses 3-6, then on day 1 of subsequent courses. Courses repeat every 28 days for 3 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
