Treatment of High-risk Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma With Minimal Residual Disease Detection

A Single-arm Prospective Study of the Treatment in High-risk Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma With Minimal Residual Disease Detection

Treatment of High-risk Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma With Minimal Residual Disease Detection (NCT06409702) is a Phase 4 interventional studying Newly Diagnosed and High Risk, sponsored by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The goal of this study is to evaluate sustained MRD negativity for one year in DKRD induction \& consolidation therapy +/- ASCT in newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma patients. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen of Daratumumab in combination with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (DKRD) +/- ASCT for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma. Participants will receive bortezomib based induction therapy for one cycle, and then DKRD induction for 3 cycles(+ASCT), DKRD consolidation for 2-4 cycles, and DKR maintenance treatment(adjusted according to MRD negativity after consolidation therapy)

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 4 studies happen after a treatment has been approved by the FDA. They monitor long-term safety, real-world effectiveness, and any rare side effects that only emerge in larger populations over longer periods. Phase 4 results sometimes lead to label changes, additional warnings, or — rarely — withdrawal of approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 59 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Newly Diagnosed subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06409702?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
