Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and renal insufficiency, specifically those with an eCrCl of less than 60 mL/min.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known seropositivity for HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C, or those with significant heart disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a treatment regimen combining daratumumab-hyaluronidase, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-CyBorD) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who also have renal failure. Participants will receive four cycles of this treatment, followed by assessments of their response rates, particularly focusing on differences between African American and non-African American patients. The study seeks to address the urgent need for effective therapies in this high-risk population, where renal impairment complicates treatment outcomes. The study will also involve restaging through PET-CT and bone marrow evaluations after the treatment cycles.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve response rates and renal function in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and renal failure.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in its specific focus on renal failure in multiple myeloma, similar studies have shown promise in treating multiple myeloma with combination therapies.
