Fewer-doses daratumumab added to VRd for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
Official title: Less is Adequate - A Phase 2 Study of Less Frequent Dosing of Daratumumab in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
Run by Tata Memorial Centre · NCT07891923 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a less-frequent daratumumab dosing plan added to VRd can help patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma achieve more MRD negativity.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, ECOG 0-2, adequate organ function, and who are treatment-naïve or have received very limited prior bortezomib-based therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients unlikely to benefit include those with significant comorbidities, high-risk disease requiring alternative regimens, or those not meeting the organ function criteria.

What this trial studies
This is a single-arm Phase 2 trial evaluating a modified, less-frequent daratumumab schedule combined with standard VRd induction for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Patients receive four 28-day induction cycles with daratumumab on days 1, 15, 29, 50, 71, and 92, plus weekly bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone. The study looks at MRD negativity after induction, overall response, depth of response, progression-free survival, safety, daratumumab pharmacokinetics, stem-cell yield, and engraftment timing after ASCT where applicable. Exploratory endpoints include immune cell subset analyses to understand potential immunologic effects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may achieve MRD negativity more efficiently with fewer daratumumab doses, potentially reducing treatment burden.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work has shown daratumumab-containing regimens can achieve MRD negativity; this study explores whether a reduced-dosing schedule can maintain efficacy.
