Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trial in Phoenix, AZ

About This Multiple Myeloma Study in Phoenix

This phase III trial compares three-drug induction regimens followed by double-or single-drug maintenance therapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in patients who are not receiving a stem cell transplant and are considered frail or intermediate-fit based on age, comorbidities, and functional status. Treatment for multiple myeloma includes initial treatment (induction) which is the first treatment a patient receives for cancer followed by ongoing treatment (maintenance) which

Participants with any degree of kidney dysfunction are allowed; however, participants on dialysis are not eligible

For Participants Meeting "Frail" Status:

Hemoglobin \>= 7 g/dL (must be performed within 28 days prior to registration)

For Participants Meeting "Frail" Status:

Platelets \>= 50 x 10\^9/L (must be performed within 28 days prior to registration)

Participants must have a complete medical history and physical exam within 28 days prior to registration

Participants must have whole body imaging within 60 days prior to registration. The recommended method of imaging is a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT); a low-dose whole body CT scan or whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or skeletal survey should be done only if a PET/CT scan cannot be done or is non-feasible. This must be documented in the comments section of the Onstudy form.

For participants with impaired decision-making capabilities, legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants in accordance with applicable federal, local, and Central Institutional Review Board (CIRB) regulations

Exclusion Criteria

Participants must not have received any prior systemic therapy for multiple myeloma with the exception of any one or more of the following:

An emergency use of a short course of corticosteroids (equivalent of dexamethasone 160 mg) any time before registration, or

Up to one complete cycle of a non-daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj containing anti-myeloma regimen (1 cycle = 21 or 28 days depending on the regimen being used), or

Localized palliative radiation therapy for multiple myeloma, as long as the radiation therapy is completed at least 3 days prior to starting the systemic treatment as per the study protocol.

Participants must not have evidence of grade 4 peripheral neuropathy prior to study registration

Participants must not have uncontrolled blood pressure within 14 days prior to registration. Uncontrolled blood pressure: systolic blood pressure (SBP) \> 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) \> 90 mmHg. Participants are permitted to be receiving multiple anti-hypertensive medications (unless otherwise indicated in the study). All blood pressure measurements within the 14 days prior to registration must be SBP =\< 140 and DBP =\< 90. A participant with a single blood pressure elevation who upon rechecking has a normal blood pressure will remain eligible at the discretion of the registering investigator.

Participants must not have a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment (in the opinion of the treating physician) has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen.

Participants must not be pregnant or nursing. Individuals who are of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method with details provided as a part of the consent process. A person who has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months or who has semen likely to contain sperm is considered to be of "reproductive potential." In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes refraining from sexual activity that might result in pregnancy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion, and vasectomy with testing showing no sperm in the semen.
