Brief Summary
This is an open-label, multi-site, Phase II randomized trial with response-adaptive design for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) participants who have had prior induction therapy. The primary objective of this study is to compare the rates of achieving undetectable measurable residual disease (MRD) in the bone marrow with elranatamab and daratumumab employed as post-induction consolidation and maintenance treatment (Arm A) versus autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) followed by lenalidomide and daratumumab treatment (Arm B).

Study Arms (4)
Arm A (Elranatamab + Daratumumab)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive step up dosing of Elranatamab subcutaneously in first cycle followed by weekly dosing for the remainder of the cycle 1. In cycle 2 and 3, elranatamab will be administered every two weeks (Consolidation portion). This will be followed by elranatamab every 4 weeks for 12 cycles in the Maintenance 1 portion. Daratumumab will be given subcutaneously at a fixed dose every 4 weeks starting at Cycle 2 and 3 of Consolidation and for 12 cycles in the Maintenance 1 portion of the study. After completion of Maintenance 1, participants with MRD negativity will receive Elranatamab monotherapy every 4 weeks for additional 12 cycles in Maintenance 2 portion. Participants with MRD positivity will proceed to Arm A1. Participants will undergo therapy in the assigned arm until disease progression, permanent discontinuation (irrespective of reason), death or completion of planned therapy. Cycles will be 28 days. Consolidation consists of 3 cycles; Maintenance 1 consists of 12
Arm B (ASCT + lenalidomide/daratumumab)
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will undergo ASCT according to standard of care institutional practices in the Consolidation portion of the study followed by twelve 28-day cycles of Lenalidomide and Daratumumab in the Maintenance 1 portion. After completion of Maintenance 1, participants with MRD negativity will receive Lenalidomide monotherapy for additional 12 cycles in Maintenance 2 portion. Participants with MRD positivity will proceed to Arm B1. Participants will undergo therapy in the assigned arm until disease progression, permanent discontinuation (irrespective of reason), death or completion of planned therapy. Cycles will be 28 days. Consolidation consists of ASCT; Maintenance 1 consists of 12 cycles; Maintenance 2 consists of 12 cycles. Up to 50 participants will be enrolled to this arm.
Arm A1 (Late Intensification)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants randomized to Arm A that have MRD positivity after Maintenance 1 will undergo ASCT according to standard of care institutional practices followed by twelve 28-day cycles of maintenance treatment with Lenalidomide and Daratumumab in the Late Intensification portion of the study.
Arm B1 (Late Intensification)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants randomized to Arm B that have MRD positivity after Maintenance 1 will receive Elranatamab in combination with Daratumumab for three 28-day cycles as consolidation, followed by Elranatamab in combination with Daratumumab for additional twelve 28-day cycles of maintenance treatment in the Late Intensification portion of the study.
Interventions
Participants will receive step up dosing of Elranatamab subcutaneously in first cycle of consolidation followed by fixed dosing for 2 additional cycles and for 12 cycles in maintenance. Arm A participants will receive additional 12 cycles of Elranatamab monotherapy if they are MRD negative after Maintenance 1 for a total of 27 cycles. Cycles will be 28 days.
Participants will be given 1800 mg of Daratumumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks for up a maximum of 26 cycles.
Participants will receive 10 mg of Lenalidomide daily by mouth for 21 days of each 28-day cycle for up to a maximum of 24 cycles.
Participants will undergo ASCT as standard treatment following individual site's processes and practices.

- Platelets ≥75,000/µl
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥1,000/µl (prior growth factor support is permitted but must be without support for 7 days for granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) and for 14 days for pegylated G-CSF before screening lab test
- Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
