Dara-RVd Induction for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma With Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation

Trial details

Who runs it

UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center

Trial code

NCT06348147

Record updated

9 June 2026

Original description

This Phase II hybrid decentralized trial will examine the effect of daratumumab-based quadruplet induction therapy administered at an attenuated schedule in subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are eligible for standard-of-care autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-RVd) have recently become a standard induction regimen for patients with NDMM who are eligible for ASCT in the United States. As implemented in clinical trials, Dara-RVd involves twice weekly bortezomib administration, which is inconvenient for patients and may result in increased rates of limiting toxicity, such as peripheral neuropathy. Adoption of alternate schedules involving once-weekly bortezomib is common in real-world practice, however a paucity of prospective data supporting this practice exists.Read full original descriptionShow less

An Attenuated Schedule Dara-RVd Induction for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Who Are Eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation

This Phase II hybrid decentralized trial will examine the effect of daratumumab-based quadruplet induction therapy administered at an attenuated schedule in subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are eligible for standard-of-care autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-RVd) have recently become a standard induction regimen for patients with NDMM who are eligible for ASCT in the United States. As implemented in clinical trials, Dara-RVd involves twice weekly bortezomib administration, which is inconvenient for patients and may result in increased rates of limiting toxicity, such as peripheral neuropathy. Adoption of alternate schedules involving once-weekly bortezomib is common in real-world practice, however a paucity of prospective data supporting this practice exists.

This study examines the efficacy of an attenuated Dara-RVd schedule involving once-weekly bortezomib dosing.
