Study Summary
This trial is studying a combination of 3 drugs as a treatment for people with smoldering multiple myeloma.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma, a condition where cancer cells are present but not causing symptoms. Participants must have certain levels of M-protein and plasma cells, no severe organ damage or bone lesions, and be able to perform daily activities. Women who can bear children must use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The DKd treatment combines daratumumab (injection under the skin), carfilzomib (IV), and dexamethasone (oral/IV) in cycles to prevent or slow down the progression of multiple myeloma from its smoldering phase. The study includes frequent tests, scans, questionnaires, and long-term follow-up.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at injection sites for daratumumab; heart, lung, liver or kidney problems from carfilzomib; and increased blood sugar or mood changes from dexamethasone. Side effects vary by individual.
