Brief summary

This is a Phase 3, randomized (study drug assigned by chance), open-label (participants and researchers are aware about the treatment, participants are receiving), active-controlled (study in which the experimental treatment or procedure is compared to a standard treatment or procedure), parallel-group (each group of participants will be treated at the same time), and multicenter (when more than one hospital team work on a medical research study) study in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (a blood cancer of plasma cells) and who are not candidates for high dose chemotherapy (treatment of disease, usually cancer, by chemical agents) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). The primary hypothesis of this study is that subcutaneous Daratumumab in combination with Lenalidomide will prolong progression-free survival and likely induce less toxicity as compared with Lenalidomide and dexamethasone, in elderly frail subjects with newly diagnosed Multiple myeloma who are ineligible for high dose chemotherapy and ASCT

Detailed description

The primary hypothesis of this study is that subcutaneous Daratumumab in combination with Lenalidomide will prolong progression-free survival and likely induce less toxicity as compared with Lenalidomide and dexamethasone, in elderly frail subjects with newly diagnosed Multiple myeloma who are ineligible for high dose chemotherapy and ASCT

Interventions

DRUGDaratumumab SC in combination with Lenalidomide

Daratumumab SC 1800 mg * once every week for 8 weeks * then once every other week for 16 weeks * thereafter once every 4 weeks, until progression

DRUGLenalidomide PO (25mg)

Lenalidomide PO (25mg): days 1 through 21 of each 28-day cycle, until progression

DRUGDexamethasone PO (20mg): days 1, 8, 15, 22 of each 28-day cycle, until progression

Dexamethasone PO (20mg): days 1, 8, 15, 22 of each 28-day cycle, until progression

Inclusion criteria

1. Subject must be at least 65 years of age. 2. Subject must have documented multiple myeloma satisfying the CRAB criteria and measurable disease. 3. Newly diagnosed and not considered candidate for high-dose chemotherapy with SCT. 4. Subject must have a Frailty Score ≥ 2 5. Subject must have within 5 days prior to first drug intake (C1D1) pretreatment clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria during the Screening Phase: * hemoglobin ≥7.5 g/dL * absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 x 109/L * platelet count ≥70 x 109/L * aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) * alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 x ULN * total bilirubin ≤2.0 x ULN * creatinine clearance≥30mL/min 6.

A man who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential must agree to use a latex or synthetic condom, even if they had a successful vasectomy. All men must also not donate sperm during the study, for 4 weeks after the last dose of lenalidomide, and for 4 months after the last dose of daratumumab. Women participating in this study must be postmenopausal. 8. Each subject must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study. Subject must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol, as referenced in the ICF. 9. Subjects affiliated with an appropriate social security system.

Exclusion criteria

1. Subject has a diagnosis of primary amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, or smoldering multiple myeloma. 2. Subject has a diagnosis of Waldenström's disease, or other conditions in which IgM M-protein is present in the absence of a clonal plasma cell infiltration with lytic bone lesions. 3. Subject has prior or current systemic therapy or SCT for multiple myeloma 4. Subject has a history of malignancy (other than multiple myeloma) within 5 years before the date of randomization 5. Subject has had radiation therapy within 14 days of randomization. 6. Subject has had plasmapheresis within 28 days of randomization. 7. Subject is exhibiting clinical signs of meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma. 8. Subject has known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (defined as a forced expiratory volume \[FEV\] in 1 second \<60% of predicted normal), persistent asthma, or a history of asthma within the last 2 years (intermittent asthma is allowed). 9. Subject is known to be seropositive for history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 10. Seropositive for hepatitis B. 11. (Known to be) seropositive for hepatitis C 12.
