Daratumumab Versus Lenalidomide Maintenance Therapy for Multiple Myeloma: A Randomized Pilot Study Comparing Patient-Reported Health Related Quality of Life Measures with a Plant Based Nutrition Intervention Sub Study (NUTRIVENTION-4)Purpose
Lenalidomide is a drug typically used as maintenance therapy in people with multiple myeloma who have responded well to their first round of treatment. Daratumumab is used to treat multiple myeloma when given in combination with other drugs; its use alone is considered investigational.
In this study, researchers are comparing lenalidomide and daratumumab for maintenance therapy in people with multiple myeloma to see if one is better than the other, how they affect patients’ quality of life, and to see if one is easier to take than the other. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive one drug or the other after initial therapy is complete. Lenalidomide is taken orally (by mouth) and daratumumab is given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.
