Continuous frontline treatment with DARZALEX® + Rd and patient outcomes
Dr. Suzanne Reim Fanning, Associate Professor at USC School of Medicine Greenville, discusses what the research says about the importance of continuing frontline treatment with DARZALEX® until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, and how doing so shapes outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma.
Patient considerations when determining frontline treatment
Dr. Kenneth Shain, Director of the Myeloma Working Group at Moffitt Cancer Center (Tampa, Florida), discusses a typical patient seen in his practice and how he reviews safety and efficacy data along with NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) when choosing a frontline treatment option.

Questions & answers
DARZALEX FASPRO® and DARZALEX® are indicated for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed, transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma in combination with Rd and in combination with VMP.1,2
Rd=lenalidomide (R) + dexamethasone (d); VMP=bortezomib (V) + melphalan (M) + prednisone (P).
Daratumumab* (D) in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) is recommended by the NCCN Guidelines as a Category 1 preferred† therapeutic option for newly diagnosed, transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma.‡
*Daratumumab includes daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj (DARZALEX FASPRO®) for subcutaneous injection and daratumumab (DARZALEX®) for intravenous infusion. Daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj for subcutaneous injection has different dosing and administration instructions compared to daratumumab for intravenous infusion.
†See NCCN.org for definitions of NCCN Categories of Preference and NCCN Categories of Evidence and Consensus.

DARZALEX FASPRO® is a ~3 to 5 minute injection administered subcutaneously starting with the first dose.1
For adult patients who have newly diagnosed, transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma and are being treated with DRd, dosing frequency decreases to once every 4 weeks starting at Cycle 7.1,2
DRd=DARZALEX®/DARZALEX FASPRO® (D) + lenalidomide (R) + dexamethasone (d); Rd=lenalidomide (R) + dexamethasone (d).
In the COLUMBA trial, nearly 3x reduction in systemic ARRs with DARZALEX FASPRO® (13%, n=260) vs DARZALEX® (34%, n=258) was observed.1
Both systemic ARRs, including severe or life-threatening reactions, and local injection-site reactions can occur with DARZALEX FASPRO®. Fatal reactions have been reported with daratumumab-containing products, including DARZALEX FASPRO®.1
The efficacy of DRd was evaluated in the MAIA trial, a phase 3, global, randomized, open-label trial, comparing treatment with DRd (n=368) to Rd (n=369) in adult patients with newly diagnosed, transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma. In the trial, treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.2,3
The primary efficacy endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). One of the secondary endpoints was overall survival (OS).2
After 28 months of follow-up, there was a 44% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death with DRd vs Rd alone (HR=0.56; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.73; P<0.0001).2
After 64 months of follow-up, median PFS was 61.9 months (95% CI: 54.8-NE) with DRd vs 34.4 months (95% CI: 29.6-39.2) with Rd (HR=0.55; 95% CI: 0.45, 0.67).
CI=confidence interval; DRd=DARZALEX® (D) + lenalidomide (R) + dexamethasone (d); HR=hazard ratio; NE=not estimable; Rd=lenalidomide (R) + dexamethasone (d).
In the MAIA trial, DRd was evaluated in a wide range of patients. About 50% of patients were 75 years of age or older and the trial included patients with various ECOG performance status, cytogenetic profiles, and ISS disease stages.2,4
DRd=DARZALEX® (D) + lenalidomide (R) + dexamethasone (d); ECOG=Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; ISS=International Staging System.
DRd is indicated for the treatment of newly diagnosed, transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma until progression or unacceptable toxicity. For the best chance of achieving the PFS and sustained responses seen in the MAIA trial, patients should be treated with DRd until progression or unacceptable toxicity.2
DRd=DARZALEX® (D) + lenalidomide (R) + dexamethasone (d); PFS=progression-free survival.
DARZALEX FASPRO® and DARZALEX® are covered for ~97% of people with commercial insurance and ~97% of people with Medicare.5
This may not represent 100% of lives due to data limitations.
Daratumumab inhibits tumor cell growth through immune-mediated, direct on-tumor, and immunoregulatory actions. It may also have an effect on normal cells.1
There are a wide variety of resources available to help provide educational, emotional, and financial support to patients throughout their treatment.
