NCT07671287

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, randomized interventional multicenter Phase 3 clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of Tec-DRd induction therapy and fixed-duration Tec-D maintenance post ASCT in adult participants with TE NDMM, compared with the SoC PERSEUS regimen. A total of 399 participants with TE NDMM aged ≥18 and ≤70 years and an Eastern CooperativeOncology Group (ECOG) status 0-2 will be included. The primary objective of the clinical trial: To determine the efficacy of Tec-DRd compared to DVRd after 6 cycles of induction/consolidation therapy and HD melphalan and ASCT, before start of maintenance therapy in participants with TE NDMM. Endpoint: Cumulative MRD negativity by NGS at a sensitivity level of 10-6 before start of maintenance therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To determine the efficacy (MRD negativity at a level of 10-6) of Tec-DRd compared to DVRd after induction/consolidation therapy and HD melphalan and ASCT, before start of maintenance therapy in participants with TE NDMM

    Cumulative MRD negativity by NGS at a sensitivity level of 10-6 before start of maintenance therapy.

    after 6 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) of induction/consolidation therapy and HD melphalan and ASCT (which occurs appr. 1 year after start of treatment), before start of maintenance therapy.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Sustained MRDnegative CR rate composite endpoint of events (death, progression, discontinuation of all treatments, Grade 3 or Grade 4 infections, and pause of more than 62 days of all study treatments).

    1) up to 24 months of maintenance therapy. 2) within 24 months of maintenance therapy

  • To determine response rates, MRD at a level of 10-5, best overall response and DOR, PFS, OS, stem cell harvest.

    up to 24 months of maintenance

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • to 70 years of age, inclusive.
