Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of daratumumab to velcade (bortezomib) melphalan-prednisone (VMP) will prolong progression-free survival (PFS) compared with VMP alone in participants with previously untreated multiple myeloma who are ineligible for high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Multiple Myeloma	Drug: Velcade; Drug: Melphalan; Drug: Prednisone; Drug: Daratumumab IV; Drug: Dexamethasone; Drug: Daratumumab SC	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

The study consists of 3 phases: Screening Phase (within 21 days prior to randomization), Treatment Phase (Cycle 1 Day 1 to discontinuation of all study treatment), and Follow-up Phase (from discontinuation of all study treatment up to death, lost to follow up, withdrawal of consent, or the study ends, whichever occurs first). Treatment phase will include 2 treatments (Treatment A: participants will receive Velcade MelphalanPrednisone (VMP) alone and Treatment B: participants will receive daratumumab in combination with VMP).Two interim analyses are planned. The first will be to evaluate safety after a total of approximately 100 participants have been treated for at least 2 cycles or discontinued the study treatment. The second will be to evaluate cumulative interim safety and efficacy data, and will be performed when approximately 216 PFS events have been accumulated. The final OS analysis will occur when approximately 382 deaths have occurred. Efficacy will be primarily measured by comparison of PFS between the two treatment arms. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Best M-protein response was defined as the maximal percent reduction or the lowest percent increase from baseline in serum M-protein for participants with measurable heavy chain at baseline or urine M-protein for participants without measurable heavy chain, but with measurable light chain disease at baseline. For participants without measurable heavy chain and light chain disease at baseline, best response in serum free light chain (FLC) was defined as the maximal percent reduction or the lowest percent increase from baseline in the difference between involved and uninvolved serum FLC level (dFLC).
13. Change From Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ)-C30: Emotional Functioning Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 ]
    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30 items self-reporting questionnaire, with a 1 week recall period, resulting in 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 1 Global Health Status (GHS) scale, 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single symptom items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The questionnaire includes 28 items with 4-point Likert type responses from "1-not at all" to "4-very much" to assess functioning and symptoms; 2 items with 7-point Likert scales (1= poor and 7= excellent) for global health and overall QoL. Scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores representing better GHS, better functioning, and more symptoms. Negative change from baseline values indicate deterioration in quality of life or functioning and positive values indicate improvement.
14. Change From Baseline in EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L): Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 ]
    EQ-5D-5L is a standardized, participant-rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L includes 2 components: the EQ-5D-5L health state profile (descriptive system) and the EQ-5D-5L Visual Analog Scale. The Visual Analogue Scale is designed to rate the participant's current health state on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state.
15. Change From Baseline in EuroQol 5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Utility Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 ]
    EQ-5D-5L is a standardized, participant-rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L includes 2 components: the EQ-5D-5L health state profile (descriptive system) and the EQ-5D-5L Visual Analog Scale. The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system provides a profile of the participant's health state 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 response options (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems) that reflect increasing levels of difficulty. The participant was asked to indicate his/her current health state by selecting the most appropriate level in each of the 5 dimensions. Responses to the 5 dimension scores were combined and converted into a single preference-weighted health utility index score 0 (0.0- worst health state) to 1 (1.0- better health state) representing the general health status of the individual based on the UK scoring algorithm.
