Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
A hierarchical combination of Time to All-cause Mortality and Frequency of Cardiovascular hospitalizations
From the date of randomization to date of death or Primary Evaluation Treatment Period (PETP) (up to 54 months)
Number of Participants with Treatment emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From date of randomization to Primary Evaluation Treatment Period (PETP) (up to 59 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Events (AEs), and AEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation
First dose of study drug until 140 days after last dose of study drug (Maximum exposure: 38.90 months for Part A and 32.50 months for Part B)

An adverse event (AE) was as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An SAE was an AE that met at least 1 of the following criteria: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization for the AE, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug), or an important medical event or reaction. A TEAE was defined as an AE that started after the first dose of treatment and before the last dose of study drug +140 days. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) During the First 4 Weeks of Therapy
4 weeks

A DLT was defined as any Grade 3 or greater study intervention-related AE that was clinically significant.

CAEL-101 combined with SoC plasma cell dyscrasiaEXPERIMENTALThe study is divided into 2 parts, the Primary Study and the Open-Label Extension Study. CAEL-101 is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion over approximately 2 hours. It is planned that all patients will continue their double-blind treatment until the last patient is randomized in the study plus 18 months.
Placebo combined with SoC plasma cell dyscrasiaPLACEBO_COMPARATORPatients randomized to receive placebo will receive 0.9% normal saline in an equivalent volume to a CAEL-101 infusion (approximately 250 cc). It is planned that all patients will continue their double-blind treatment until the last patient is randomized in the study plus 18 months.
Part A: CAEL-101 combined with SoC CyBorDEXPERIMENTALCAEL-101 is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion over approximately 2 hours. The initial cohort dose assignments of CAEL-101 will be: Cohort 1 - 500 mg/m\^2 Cohort 2 - 750 mg/m\^2 Cohort 3 - 1000 mg/m\^2. CAEL-101 will be administered weekly for the first 4 weeks, and then every other week until end of study, in combination with the SoC CyBorD chemotherapy. Patients will be treated until death, unacceptable toxicity, symptomatic deterioration, Investigator decision, patient decision or Sponsor decision to terminate the study. Patients from Part A who are in the Continued Treatment Period and who, in the Investigator's judgment, should have their SoC treatment complemented with daratumumab may do so (Part B).
Part B: CAEL-101 combined with SoC CyBorD and daratumumabEXPERIMENTALCAEL-101 is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion at the RP3D dose level. CAEL-101 will be administered weekly for the first 4 weeks, and then every other week until end of study, in combination with the SoC CyBorD chemotherapy and daratumumab. After completing approximately 50 weeks of treatment, participants may switch to an alternative maintenance dosing regimen of every four weeks (q4wk), if agreed upon by the Investigator and the Sponsor Medical Monitor. Patients will be treated until death, unacceptable toxicity, symptomatic deterioration, Investigator decision, patient decision or Sponsor decision to terminate the study.
