---|---|
Experimental: Daratumumab + lenalidomide + dexamethasone
During each 28-day treatment cycle, participants will receive daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone.
|
Drug: Daratumumab
Daratumumab 16mg/kg will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion (into the vein) as per the following schedule: once a week during treatment cycles 1 and 2; every 2 weeks during treatment cycles 3 to 6; and every 4 weeks for cycles 7 and onwards. Following amendment 8, participants receiving daratumumab IV have the option to switch to daratumumab subcutaneous (SC) 1800 mg/dose until documented progression, unacceptable toxicity, or the end of study on Day 1 of any cycle, at the discretion of the investigator. Drug: Lenalidomide Lenalidomide will be administered at a dose of 25 mg orally (by mouth) on Days 1 through 21 of each treatment cycle. Drug: Dexamethasone Dexamethasone (or equivalent in accordance with local standards) will be administered as a total dose of 40 mg weekly (or 20 mg weekly for participants > 75 years old or with a body mass index < 18.5). |

- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to either disease progression or death whichever occurs first until 21 months ]PFS was defined as duration from date of randomization to either progressive disease (PD)/death, whichever occurred first. PD was defined as meeting any one of following criteria: Increase of greater than equal to (>=)25 percent (%) in level of serum M-protein from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >=0.5 gram per deciliter (g/dL); Increase of >=25% in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion (urine M-protein) from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >=200 mg/24hours; Only in participants without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels: increase of >=25% in difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >10 mg/dL; Definite increase in size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; Development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium >11.5 mg/dL) that can be attributed solely to PC proliferative disorder.
- Time to Disease Progression (TTP) [ Time Frame: From randomization to disease progression until 21 months ]TTP was defined as time from date of randomization to date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (PD). PD was defined as meeting any one of following criteria: Increase of >=25% in level of serum M-protein from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >=0.5 g/dL; Increase of >=25% in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion (urine M-protein) from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >=200 mg/24hours; Only in participants without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels: increase of >=25% in difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain (FLC) levels from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >10 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL); Definite increase in size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; Development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium >11.5 mg/dL) that can be attributed solely to Plasma Cell (PC) proliferative disorder.
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) or Better [ Time Frame: From randomization to disease progression (approximately up to 21 months) ]VGPR or better is defined as the percentage of participants who achieved VGPR, complete response (CR) and stringent complete response (sCR) according to the International Myeloma Working Group criteria (IMWG). IMWG criteria for VGPR: Serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis, or >=90% reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein <100 mg/24 hours, if the serum and urine M-protein are not measurable, a decrease of >90% in the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels is required in place of the M-protein criteria. In addition to the above criteria, if present at baseline, a >=50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas is also required; CR: Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and <5% PCs in bone marrow; sCR: CR and normal FLC ratio, absence of clonal PCs by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence or 2- to 4 color flow cytometry.
- Percentage of Participants With Negative Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) [ Time Frame: From randomization to the date of first documented evidence of PD until 21 months ]Minimal residual disease was assessed for all participants who achieved a complete response (CR) or stringent complete response (sCR). The MRD negativity rate was defined as the percentage of participants who had negative MRD assessment at any time point after the first dose of study drugs by evaluation of bone marrow aspirates or whole blood at 10^- 4 threshold.
- Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: From randomization to disease progression (approximately up to 21 months) ]Overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a partial response (PR) or better according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria, during or after study treatment. IMWG criteria for PR: >=50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by >=90% or to <200 mg/24 hours, if the serum and urine M-protein are not measurable, a decrease of >=50% in the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels is required in place of the M-protein criteria, in addition to the above criteria, if present at baseline, a >=50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas is also required.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 21 months after the last participant is randomized ]Overall survival was measured from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death.
- Time to Response [ Time Frame: From randomization up to first documented CR or PR until 21 months ]Time to response was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first efficacy evaluation that the participant met all criteria for partial response (PR) or better.
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: From randomization to the date of first documented evidence of PD until 21 months ]DOR was defined for participants with confirmed response (PR or better) as time between first documentation of response and disease progression/death due to PD, whichever occurs first. PD was defined as meeting any one of following criteria: Increase of >=25% in level of serum M-protein from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >=0.5g/dL; Increase of >=25% in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion (urine M-protein) from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >=200mg/24hours; Only in participants without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels: increase of >=25% in difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels from lowest response value and absolute increase must be >10mg/dL; Definite increase in size of existing bone lesions/soft tissue plasmacytomas; Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; Development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium >11.5mg/dL) that can be attributed solely to PC proliferative disorder.

- Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2
- If a participant has received subsequent anticancer therapy (salvage therapy), the participant must have a "wash-out period" defined as 2 weeks or 5 pharmacokinetic half-lives of the treatment, whichever is longer, before the planned start date of daratumumab monotherapy. The only exception is the emergency use of a short course of corticosteroids (equivalent of dexamethasone 40 milligram per day for a maximum of 4 days) before Daratumumab monotherapy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has received any of the following therapies: daratumumab or other anti-CD38 therapies
