Detailed Description

The purpose of this research study is to learn whether the combination of daratumumab (Darzalex Faspro), lenalidomide (Revlimid), bortezomib (Velcade) and dexamethasone works in treating smoldering multiple myeloma and preventing progression to active or symptomatic multiple myeloma.

This combination of drugs are considered "investigational" which means it has not been approved in this combination for smoldering myeloma by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits

The names of the study drugs involved in this study are:

• Daratumumab (also called Darzalex Faspro)
• Bortezomib (also called Velcade)
• Lenalidomide (also called Revlimid)
• Dexamethasone

Participants may be treated for up to 24 months and will be followed for up to 3 years.

It is expected that about 30 people will take part in this research study.

This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the effectiveness of an investigational drug(s). The investigational drugs used in this research study are daratumumab (Darzalex Faspro), lenalidomide (Revlimid), bortezomib (Velcade) and dexamethasone. "Investigational" means that the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved the combination of daratumumab (Darzalex Faspro), lenalidomide (Revlimid), bortezomib (Velcade) and dexamethasone as a treatment regimen for the specific disease.

  -- A female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature female who: has not undergone a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) or bilateral oophorectomy (the surgical removal of both ovaries) or has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time during the preceding 24 consecutive months)

• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Other concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or any ancillary therapy considered investigational. Prior therapy with bisphosphonate is allowed. Prior radiation therapy to a solitary plasmacytoma is allowed. Prior clinical trials or therapy for smoldering MM or MGUS are allowed but should be discussed with the Principal Investigator.

• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
• Pregnant or nursing women will be excluded from the study because lenalidomide is an agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.
• History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, or hyaluronidase

• Known seropositive for or active viral infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) or SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Proportion of high risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) patients who are MRD negative (MRD-)	MRD negative disease (MRD-) is defined as zero residual sequence cells detected at a level of one million cells. At time of final analysis, the 2-year MRD- rate will be summarized as a proportion with a 90% exact binomial confidence interval	2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Response Rate	(partial response or better according to the modified IMWG criteria) and the proportion of patients with a MRD, CR, PR or MR will be reported by Arm with 90% exact binominal confidence interval (CI).	2 Years
Duration of Response	time from objective response to disease progression or death, or date last known progression-free and alive for those who have not progressed or died). The Kaplan-Meier method will be used.	2 Years
Progression-free survival	(time from protocol therapy initiation to the disease progression or death from any cause, censored at date last known progression free for those who have not progressed or died). The Kaplan-Meier method will be used.	2 Years
