Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Up to approximately 5 years

To compare the efficacy of iberdomide (also known as BMS-986382), daratumumab, and dexamethasone (IberDd) to that of daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (DVd) in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in terms of progression free survival (PFS).

Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negative Complete Response (CR) at any time
Up to approximately 5 years

To compare the efficacy of iberdomide (also known as BMS-986382), daratumumab, and dexamethasone (IberDd) to that of daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (DVd) in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in terms of minimal residual disease (MRD) negative complete response (CR) at any time.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Efficacy)
every 8 weeks, approximately 2 years

Evaluation of response by ORR by irRECIST criteria. Response classification will follow the irRECIST criteria and will be defined as PR or CR. Patients who are lost to follow-up without a valid response assessment will be classified as NR (non-responder, progression). The ORR will be computed for all patients with at least one cycle of the study drug.

Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response According to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Uniform Response Criteria
From randomization until the data cut-off date of 17 April 2018. The median duration of treatment for durvalumab and daratumumab was 7.9 weeks and 8.0 weeks respectively.

Objective response is defined as a best overall response of stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR) or partial response (PR) based on the investigator assessment: sCR: CR and normal free light chain (FLC) ratio and no clonal cells in bone marrow; CR: Negative serum and urine on immunofixation, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and ≤ 5% plasma cells in bone marrow; VGPR: Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-protein and urine M-protein level \< 100 mg/24 hours; PR: ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-Protein and reduction in urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to \< 200 mg/24 hours. In addition to the above, if present at baseline a ≥ 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas is also required.

Proportion of subjects who have not met a subject stopping rule and remain free of all of the safety events listed in the outcome description, through 26 weeks after starting treatment or until receiving a transplant, whichever occurs earlier
Baseline up to 26 weeks post treatment initiation

Proportion of subjects who have not met a subject stopping rule, and remain free of all of the following through 26 weeks after starting treatment or until receiving a transplant, whichever occurs earlier: 1. Grade 3 or higher infusion reaction 2. Grade 3 or higher infections 3. Any malignancy The study site will grade the severity of adverse events experienced by the study subjects according to the criteria set forth in the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 (Published November 27, 2017).

Proportion of subjects who meet any one of the pre-specified events detailed in the outcome description: from Baseline up to Week 26 - Cohort 1
Baseline (Visit 0) up to 26 weeks post treatment initiation

Proportion of subjects who meet any one of the following compared to Baseline (Visit 0): 1. Elimination of one human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody at Visit 12 (16 weeks ±7 days after starting treatment); 2. 50% or greater reduction in the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of at least three HLA antibodies at Visit 12 (16 weeks ±7 days after starting treatment); and/or 3. Kidney transplant with a previously incompatible donor within 26 weeks after starting treatment without graft loss due to acute antibody mediated rejection occurring within the first four weeks post-transplant and caused by an anamnestic response.

Proportion of subjects who meet any one of the pre-specified events detailed in the outcome description: from Baseline up to Week 26 - Cohort 2
Baseline (Visit 0) up to 52 weeks post treatment initiation

Proportion of subjects who meet any one of the following compared to Baseline (Visit 0): 1. Elimination of one human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody at Visit 14 (26 weeks ±7 days after starting treatment); 2. 50% or greater reduction in the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of at least three HLA antibodies at Visit 14 (26 weeks ±7 days after starting treatment); and/or 3. Kidney transplant with a previously incompatible donor within 52 weeks after starting treatment without graft loss due to acute antibody mediated rejection occurring within the first four weeks post-transplant and caused by an anamnestic response.

Frequently asked questions about Daratumumab

What is Daratumumab used for?

Daratumumab is an investigational anti-CD38 antibody being studied for multiple myeloma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and highly sensitized prospective kidney transplant recipients. It is in Phase 3 clinical development for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Daratumumab is not FDA approved for these indications and remains under clinical investigation.

What does Daratumumab target?

Daratumumab targets CD38, a cell surface protein. It is a monoclonal antibody, classified as a -mab (antibody) modality. By binding to CD38, it is designed to interfere with cells expressing this protein, which is relevant in the conditions under study.

Who makes Daratumumab?

Daratumumab is developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, traded as BMY on the stock exchange. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy across multiple indications, including multiple myeloma and other conditions.

What phase is Daratumumab in?

Daratumumab is in Phase 3 clinical development. One active Phase 3 trial, NCT04975997, is comparing daratumumab combinations in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Other trials are in Phase 1 and Phase 2. Daratumumab is investigational and not yet approved.

What clinical trials is Daratumumab in?

Daratumumab is being studied in several trials. NCT04975997 is a Phase 3 study in multiple myeloma. NCT03000452 is a completed Phase 2 trial in multiple myeloma. NCT04827979 is a completed Phase 1 trial in kidney transplant recipients. NCT06015724 is a recruiting Phase 2 trial in pancreatic cancer and lung cancer.

Is Daratumumab the same as Daratumumab/rHuPH20 Co-formulation?

Yes, Daratumumab is also known as Daratumumab/rHuPH20 Co-formulation. This alternative name refers to a co-formulation that includes rHuPH20. Both names refer to the same drug product being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
