GEM21menos65. A Phase III Trial for NDMM Patients Who Are Candidates for ASCT Comparing Extended VRD Plus Early Rescue Intervention vs Isatuximab-VRD vs Isatuximab-V-Iberdomide-D

This is a Phase III open-label, 3-arm, parallel, randomized, controlled trial. The allocation ratio 1:1:1 and outcome assessment are blind to group allocation. Patients will be randomized from 3 arms. Patients will receive VRD extended + ASCT plus ERI or Isatuximab-VRD + ASCT or Isatuximab-VID + ASCT.
