Daratumumab, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone for Treatment of Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma and Severe Renal Impairment: Results from the Phase 2 GMMG-DANTE Trial
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Impaired kidney function is a common complication of a certain blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Patients with severe kidney problems are usually left out of medical studies, so data on safety and efficacy of treatments are limited for these patients. The academic phase II GMMG-D...

Sumario: | SIMPLE SUMMARY: Impaired kidney function is a common complication of a certain blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Patients with severe kidney problems are usually left out of medical studies, so data on safety and efficacy of treatments are limited for these patients. The academic phase II GMMG-DANTE trial (NCT02977494) investigated a combination of drugs—daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone—in patients who had already tried other treatments before, and had severe kidney impairment. Even though the study had to end early, the results were promising. About 67% of the patients had their cancer respond to the treatment, and their kidney function improved. The treatment was overall well tolerated. ABSTRACT: Renal function impairment (RI) is a common complication in multiple myeloma (MM). However, limited data exist on the safety and efficacy of anti-MM regimens in patients with severe RI, as these patients are frequently excluded from clinical trials. This investigator-initiated multicentric phase II GMMG-DANTE trial evaluated daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (DVd) in relapsed or refractory (r/r) MM patients with severe RI. r/rMM patients with ≥1 prior treatment line and a GFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m(2) or undergoing hemodialysis were eligible and received eight cycles of DVd followed by daratumumab maintenance. The trial closed prematurely after 22/36 planned patients. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Median age of patients was 70 (range 55–89) years, with a median GFR of 20.1 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (interquartile range, 9.4–27.3 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), and eight patients under hemodialysis. Median number of prior lines was two (range 1–10). The trial was successful, albeit with premature termination, as it met its primary endpoint, with an ORR of 67% (14/21). The rates of partial response, very good partial response, and complete response were 29%, 29%, and 10%, respectively (n = 6, 6, and 2). Fourteen patients (67%) achieved renal response. After median follow-up of 28 months, median progression-free survival was 10.4 months; median overall survival was not reached. Higher-grade toxicity was mainly hematologic, and non-hematologic toxicities ≥Grade 3 were mostly infections (24%). The prospective GMMG-DANTE trial investigating DVd exclusively in r/rMM patients with severe RI showed efficacy and safety to be comparable to data from patients without RI. |
