Abstract

Daratumumab is approved for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and high-risk smoldering MM (HR-SMM). However, HR-SMM is often as genomically complex as MM, suggesting it may be too advanced for single-agent intervention. We report on a Phase II trial of single-agent daratumumab in patients with earlier-stage disease, including high-risk monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and low-risk SMM, to test if earlier treatment can induce deep responses and prevent progression to MM (D-PRISM/NCT03236428, n = 41). As primary outcome, the rate of Very Good Partial Response or better is 17% (95% CI: 7-32), which is comparable to what was observed in HR-SMM and does not meet the study's pr..
