Title
Effective Quadruplet Utilization After Treatment Evaluation (EQUATE): A Randomized Phase 3 Trial for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Not Intended For Early Autologous Transplantation

Description
A Randomized Phase 3 Trial for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Not Intended for Early Autologous Transplantation

Objective
The purpose of this study is to determine if, after receiving 9 cycles of the usual treatment with three drugs (daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone), adding bortezomib to the
three drugs for the second set of 9 treatment cycles (cycles 10-18) could be more effective in shrinking your cancer or preventing it from returning, compared to continuing on the same
three-drug combination for another 9 treatment cycles. But, it could also cause side effects.

Treatment Daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone for 9 cycles (36 weeks) as your initial treatment. The length of one cycle of treatment is about 28 days. These first 9 cycles or 36 weeks of treatment are called induction treatment. After 9 cycles, you will have samples of your bone marrow, blood, and urine collected and tested to see whether or not you have any tumor remaining. After this assessment, you will be randomly assigned to receive either daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone with bortezomib added to the treatment, for 9 cycles; or you will continue on the same treatment with daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone for another 9 cycles. This second set of 9 cycles is called consolidation treatment. After completing 9 cycles of consolidation treatment, both groups will receive daratumumab and lenalidomide until either the disease progresses, side effects become too severe or intolerable, or you or your physician wish to stop treatment. Last stage of treatment is called maintenance treatment
