Ixazomib and daratumumab without dexamethasone (I-Dara) in elderly frail relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients: A multicenter phase 2 study (IFM 2018-02) of the Intergroupe Francophone du Myélome (IFM).
Dr. Xavier Leleu (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire—Poitiers, France) explains the results of the Phase 2 Study IFM 2018-02 (I-Dara) in elderly frail relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients.
The aim of this phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of ixazomib-daratumumab (I-Dara) without dexamethasone in elderly frail patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
In this elderly frail population, ixazomib-daratumumab (I-Dara) is a feasible combination with favorable efficacy profile even in lenalidomide RRM and HR cytogenetic patients. Early toxicity remains a concern in this population, even though more manageable with subcutaneous daratumumab.
Clinical trial information: NCT03757221
