ABSTRACT: Abstract
In newly diagnosed transplant-ineligible patients with myeloma, daratumumab has improved outcomes when added to the standard-of-care regimens. In a randomized trial, we tested whether similar improvements would be observed when daratumumab was added to the bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (VCD) regimen. Transplant-ineligible patients with untreated myeloma were randomized to receive VCD or VCD plus daratumumab (VCDD). A total of 121 patients were randomized: 57 in the VCD arm and 64 in the VCDD arm. Baseline characteristics were balanced between the 2 arms. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 16.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 15.3-21.7) and 25.8 months (95% CI, 19.9-33.5) in the VCD and VCDD arms, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.67; log-ran
