E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the safety and toxicity and the rate of renal recovery in newly diagnosed patients with MM induced dialysis-dependent renal failure receiving daratumumab in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone for 4 cycles. |

To determine the overall response rate (ORR) in newly diagnosed patients with MM induced renal failure receiving daratumumab in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone for 4 cycles. ORR will be assessed according International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria, including Minor Response (MR) according to European Society for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria.

Patients with basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma “in situ” of the cervix or breast with are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection • Patient has ≥ grade 3 peripheral neuropathy. • Participation in other interventional clinical trials, including those with other investigational agents not included in this trial, within 30 days of the start of this trial and throughout the duration of this trial. • Pre-existing documented severe renal impairment (before suspected MM diagnosis) with an eGFR of <30 ml/min/1.73 m2 |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is renal recovery defined as: a) becoming independent from hemodialysis b) renal response in patients with baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 15-30ml/min, defined as follows: CRrenal = GFR ≥ 60 ml/min PRrenal = GFR increase >100%, i.e.: from stage V (GFR < 15ml/min) to stage III (GFR 30 – <60 ml/min) MRrenal = GFR increase >50%, and from stage V (GFR < 15ml/min) to stage IV (GFR 15 - <30 ml/mi 12
Defined by a measurement at baseline (before initiation of hemodialysis) and at the end of treatment (after2 cycles, measurement before hemodialysis in non-responders; or after 4 cycles of treatment in those with a renal response). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary endpoints are: Progression free survival at 1 year (PFS)in months, defined as the time from day 1 of cycle 1 to the date of first documentation of disease progression based on IMWG criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Overall response rate (ORR) being described as complete response, near complete response, very good partial response, partial response, minor response, stable disease, progressive disease. ORR will be assessed according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria, including Minor Response (MR) according to European Society for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria. Time to first response defined as days from day 1 of cycle 1 to the first documented response. Time to best response defined (days) from day 1 of cycle 1 to the best documented response. Recording of AE´s, SAE´s, ECOG performance status, assessment of clinical laboratory values. Minimal residual disease will be performed in bone marrow samples (only in patients achieving complete response after cycle 4) according to the Euroflow-protocol (FACS-Analysis) with a sensitivity of 10-5) |
