Daratumumab, Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (Dara-KRd), Autologous Transplantation and MRD Response-Adapted Consolidation and Treatment Cessation. Final Primary Endpoint Analysis of the Master Trial

Background: Minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) post initial therapy is prognostic of long term outcomes in patients (pts) with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM), but has not been used to modify therapy. We hypothesized that the combination of daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Dara-KRd) would be safe and highly active in pts with NDMM. In addition, we employed MRD by next generation sequencing (NGS) to inform the use and duration of Dara-KRd post-autologous transplant (AHCT) and treatment cessation in pts with confirmed MRD negativity.
