Frequently asked questions about Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance

What is Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance used for?

Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance is used for multiple myeloma. It is being studied as part of a sequential therapy approach guided by minimal residual disease (MRD) assessments. The regimen involves daratumumab-based intensification followed by daratumumab maintenance, and it is currently in Phase 2 clinical development.

Who makes Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance?

Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance is being developed by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). The company is conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate this treatment approach in patients with multiple myeloma.

What phase is Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance in?

Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational regimen and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing trial is actively recruiting participants with multiple myeloma.

What clinical trials is Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance in?

Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance is being evaluated in the clinical trial NCT05231629, titled "Sequential Therapy in Multiple Myeloma Guided by MRD Assessments." This Phase 2, randomized, active-controlled study is recruiting 300 participants in the United States.

Is Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance the same as Dara-R maintenance?

Dara-VRd intensification, Dara-R maintenance is a treatment strategy that includes two phases: intensification with Dara-VRd (daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) followed by maintenance with Dara-R (daratumumab and lenalidomide). It is not a single drug but a sequential regimen.
