A Perspective Study of the MRD-tailored Therapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma With Persistent Minimal Residual Disease After Initial Treatment
The aim of this study was to observe the rate of MRD conversion and the impact on survival in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients with persistent MRD positivity after induction and consolidation therapy (autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or consolidation of the original regimen) who were switched to high-intensity therapy, and to compare the rate of persistent MRD-negativity, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) between the two groups in comparison with NDMM patients who achieved MRD-negativity after the same induction and consolidation therapy.
• Subject must be at least 18 years of age.
• Subject must have documented newly diagnosed symptomatic multiple myeloma as defined by 2014 International Myeloma Working Group criteria.
• Subject must have achieved a response (partial response \[PR\] or better based on investigator's determination of response by the IMWG criteria) to at one prior regimen.
• Women of childbearing potential must commit to either abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of reliable birth control simultaneously. Contraception must begin 4 weeks prior to dosing and continue until at least 3 months after receiving the last dose of the study drug. A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy tests at screening within 14 days prior to randomization.
• Each subject (or their legally acceptable representative) 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.
