E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate the benefit of isatuximab in combination with lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone followed by isatuximab and lenalidomide maintenance therapy in increasing the proportion of patients with MRD negativity as compared to lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone followed by lenalidomide maintenance treatment in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1) To evaluate the Overall Response Rate (ORR), Partial Response (PR), Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) and Complete Response (CR) as per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria in each arm. 2) To compare the Progression-free (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) between the two arms. 3) To evaluate the proportion of patients with MRD negativity (defined by NGF at 10^-5) after 12 months (13 cycles) of maintenance treatment. 4)To evaluate the Time to Progression (TTP) in each arm. 5) To evaluate the PFS in high risk cytogenetic population defined as patients carrying a) del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16) in each arm and b) the same aberrations plus amp1q21. 6) To evaluate the Duration of Response in each arm. 7) To evaluate safety in both treatment arms. 8) To assess disease-specific and a generic health-related quality of life (HRQL), disease and treatment-related symptoms, health state utility and health status. 9) To evaluate PFS of potential second line therapy.
