PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

To determine the proportion of patients who are in VGPR or better after twenty cycles of therapy with Daratumumab. This will be determined at the time of best overall response.

The Proportion Of Patients In Deep Response
7 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

The objective response rate (partial response or better according to the modified IMWG criteria) and the proportion of patients with a MRD, CR, PR or MR will be reported with 90% exact binominal confidence interval (CI). The exact two-sided 90% CI around response rate will be no wider than 28% with 40 eligible patients.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

To estimate the duration of response (time from objective response to disease progression or death, or date last known progression-free and alive for those who have not progressed or died) the Kaplan-Meier method will be used.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

The duration of overall CR is progression or death. Patients who have not progressed or died are censored at the date last known progression-free.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

The duration of overall response is measured as the time from initiation of first response to first documentation of disease progression or death. Patients who have not progressed or died are censored at the date last known progression-free.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

PFS is defined as the time from first-dose to the disease progression or death from any cause. Patients who have not progressed or died are censored at the date last known progression-free.

Progression Free Survival
59.5 months
Interval 5.5 to 76.3

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

Safety analysis will be conducted using the Safety Population defined as any patient receiving one dose of study treatment. For toxicity reporting, all adverse events and laboratory abnormalities will be graded and analyzed using CTCAE version 4 as appropriate.
