Study on DARA RVD for High-Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma
Sponsor: Omar Nadeem, MD
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04775550
This clinical trial is testing a combination of four drugs to see if they can treat smoldering multiple myeloma and prevent it from becoming active. The drugs being studied are Darzalex Faspro, Velcade, Revlimid, and dexamethasone.

Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to find out if a combination of four drugs—Daratumumab (Darzalex Faspro), Lenalidomide (Revlimid), Bortezomib (Velcade), and Dexamethasone—can effectively treat smoldering multiple myeloma and stop it from progressing to active multiple myeloma. These drugs are being tested together as an investigational treatment, meaning they haven't been approved by the FDA for this specific use. Participants will be treated for up to 24 months and followed for up to 3 years. About 30 people are expected to join this Phase II clinical trial, which aims to test the effectiveness of this drug combination.
Description
This study is exploring whether a combination of four drugs can help treat smoldering multiple myeloma and prevent it from becoming active. The drugs involved are Daratumumab (Darzalex Faspro), Lenalidomide (Revlimid), Bortezomib (Velcade), and Dexamethasone. These drugs are considered investigational when used together for this condition, meaning they haven't been approved by the FDA for this specific purpose.
Participants will undergo screening to determine eligibility and will receive the study treatment, which includes regular evaluations and follow-up visits. The treatment period can last up to 24 months, with follow-up continuing for up to 3 years. The study aims to enroll about 30 participants.
This is a Phase II clinical trial, which means it is focused on testing how effective the investigational drug combination is. The study drugs are Daratumumab (Darzalex Faspro), Lenalidomide (Revlimid), Bortezomib (Velcade), and Dexamethasone. The FDA has not approved this combination for treating smoldering multiple myeloma.
