Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to provide early access to the drug daratumumab for patients with multiple myeloma who have already tried at least three different treatments, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent, or whose disease is resistant to both. This study is for patients who cannot access daratumumab through other means. Participants will receive the drug through an IV infusion and will be monitored for safety and response to the treatment.
Description
This study is designed to give patients with multiple myeloma early access to the drug daratumumab, which is not yet widely available. It is open to patients who have tried at least three other treatments, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent, or whose disease is resistant to both. The study is conducted at multiple centers and is open-label, meaning both the researchers and participants know what treatment is being given.
The study has three phases:
- Screening Phase: This occurs 30 days before the first dose of the study drug to ensure participants meet all criteria.
- Treatment Phase: Participants will receive daratumumab through an IV infusion until their disease progresses, they experience unacceptable side effects, or the study ends.
- End of Treatment: This phase occurs 30 days after the last dose of the study drug.
Participants will be monitored for their overall response to the treatment and for any safety concerns throughout the study.
