Testing the Investigational Agent Combination of Daratumumab, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone Compared to the Usual Treatment of Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients With Kidney Failure

What this study is about

This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the addition of daratumumab-hyaluronidase to the usual treatment of bortezomib and dexamethasone improve kidney function in patients who are newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma and have kidney failure? This study is being done because the investigators want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for the participant's newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for multiple myeloma. If the participant decides to take part in this study, they will either get the study medications daratumumab-hyaluronidase, bortezomib, and dexamethasone for four months (4 cycles), or the typical medications used to treat your cancer (cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone) for 4 months (4 cycles). After the participant finishes their study treatment, their doctor will continue to follow their condition for 10 years to watch them for side effects and monitor their disease status. Their doctor will follow up with them every 3 months for years 1 and 2 and then every 6 months for years 3 through 10.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
