Dr Paul Richardson presents the results of a phase 3 DETERMINATION trial using Lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVd) ± autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and R maintenance to progression for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).
The trial used patients with NDMM aged 18-65, who were randomly assigned to receive 3 RVd cycles, stem cell mobilisation, and then 5 more RVd cycles (Arm A) or IV melphalan 200 mg/m2 + ASCT and 2 RVd cycles (Arm B). Both arms received R maintenance until progression or intolerance. The primary endpoint was PFS (90% power to detect PFS hazard ratio [HR] of 1.43 [Arm A vs. B] with α = 0.05 on stratified two-sided log-rank test; full information: 329 events in 720 patients). Data cut-off was Dec 10, 2021.
Dr Richardson summarises the results by stating Lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVd) ± autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and R maintenance prolongs disease control and improves survival for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.
