Inclusion Criteria:
1. Subjects must be at least 18 years of age
2. Written informed consent
3. Subjects must have had documented multiple myeloma requiring treatment as defined by
the criteria below:
Monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow > 10% and/or presence of a biopsy-proven
plasmacytoma at some point in their disease history requiring treatment according
diagnostic criteria (IMWG updated criteria 2014, Rajkumar et al. 2014) see appendix I
With measurable disease at screening (serum M-protein > 500 mg/dl or urine M-protein >
200 mg/24h, in case of oligosecretory MM serum free light chain > 10 mg/dl and
abnormal kappa/lambda free light chain ratio)
4. GFR < 30 ml/min and /or subjects undergoing hemodialysis
5. Subject must have received at least 1 prior treatment line
6. Subjects must have documented evidence of progressive disease after the last treatment
line
7. ECOG performance status 0-3 (ECOG 3 is only allowed if due to myeloma disease)
8. Subjects must have certain pretreatment laboratory values meeting the following
criteria during the Screening Phase:
1. Hemoglobin =7.5 g/dl (4,66 mmol/L; prior red blood cells (RBC) transfusion or
recombinant human erythropoietin use is permitted).
2. Absolute neutrophil count = 1.0 x109/L (granulocyte colony stimulating factor
(GCSF) use is permitted);
3. Platelet count more or equal 70 x109/L for subjects in whom ? 50% of bone marrow
nucleated cells are plasma cells; otherwise platelet count ? 50 x 109/L
(transfusions are not permitted to achieve this minimum platelet count ),
4. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) = 2,5 x upper limit of normal (ULN);
5. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 2,5 x ULN
6. Total bilirubin = 2.0 x ULN ,except in subjects with congenital bilirubinemia,
such as Gilbert syndrome (direct bilirubin = 2.0 x ULN
7. Corrected serum calcium = 14 mg/dl (=3,5mmol/L); or free ionized calcium ? 6,5
mg/dL(?1,6 mmol/L)
9. Women of childbearing potential must commit to either abstain continuously from
heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of reliable birth control
simultaneously. This includes one highly effective form of contraception (tubal
ligation, intrauterine device [IUD], hormonal [birth control pills, injections,
hormonal patches, vaginal rings or implants] or partner's vasectomy) and one
additional effective contraceptive method (male latex or synthetic condom, diaphragm,
or cervical cap). Contraception must begin 4 weeks prior to dosing. Reliable
contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of infertility, unless
due to hysterectomy.
10. A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test
at screening within 14 days prior to treatment start.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Subject has received prior Daratumumab or other Anti-CD38 antibodies (previous
treatment with Elotuzumab is allowed)
2. Evidence of intolerance to bortezomib or known allergies, hypersensitivity or
intolerance to monoclonal antibodies
3. Subject has received anti-myeloma treatment within 2 weeks of Cycle 1, day 1. The only
exception is emergency use of a short course of corticosteroids (equivalent of
Dexamethasone 40 mg/day for a maximum of 4 days) before treatment.
4. Active graft-versus host disease under immunosuppressive treatment
5. Subject is a woman who is pregnant or breastfeeding
6. Prior invasive malignancy within 5 years before trial inclusion
7. Active, uncontrolled infection.
8. Subject has peripheral neuropathy = 3 or neuropathic pain Grade 2 or higher
9. Subject has either of the following:
1. Known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a forced expiratory
volume in 1 second (FEV1) <50% of predicted normal. Note that FEV1 testing is
only required for subjects suspected of having COPD
2. Known moderate or severe persistent asthma, or currently has uncontrolled asthma
of any classification. (Note that subjects who currently have controlled
intermittent asthma or controlled mild persistent asthma are allowed to
participate in the study).
10. Subject has clinically significant cardiac disease, including myocardial infarction
within 6 months before date of study entry, unstable angina, cardiac insufficiency New
York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III-IV or uncontrolled arrhythmia
11. Subject has a diagnosis of primary amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined
significance, or smoldering multiple myeloma. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined
significant is defined by presence of serum M-protein ? 3 g/dL; absence of lytic bone
lesions, anemia, hypercalcemia and renal insufficiency related to M-protein; and (if
determined) proportion of plasma cells in the bone marrow of 10% or less (Kyle et al.
2003). Smoldering multiple myeloma is defined as asymptomatic multiple myeloma with
absence of related organ or tissue impairment and organ damage (Kyle et al., 2003,
2007).
12. Subject has a diagnosis of Waldenström's disease, or other conditions in which IgM
M-protein is present in the absence of a clonal plasma cell infiltration with lytic
bone lesions.
13. Subject has had radiation therapy within 14 days of treatment
14. Subject has had plasmapheresis within 14 days of treatment. Screening laboratory
values have to be performed after end of plasmapheresis.
15. Subject is known to be seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or
hepatitis B (defined by a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or
antibodies to hepatitis B surface and core antigen (anti HBs and anti HBc
respectively), or hepatitis C (anti-HCV antibody positive or HCV RNA quantitation
positive).
16. Subject has had major surgery within 2 weeks before treatment und has not fully
recovered from surgery, or has surgery panned during the time the subject is expected
to participate in the study.
17. Incidence of gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of
oral drugs
18. Subject has any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease (eg. active
systemic infection, uncontrolled diabetes, acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary
disease) that is likely to interfere with the study procedures or results, or that in
the opinion of the investigator, would constitute a hazard for the participating in
this study.
19. Subject has known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to corticosteroids,
monoclonal antibodies or human proteins, or their excipients (refer to respective
package inserts or Investigator's Brochure), or known sensitivity to mammalian-derived
products.
20. Subject is known or suspected of not being able to comply with the study protocol (eg.
because of alcoholism, drug dependency, or psychological disorder). Subject has any
condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in
the best interest of the subject (eg, compromise the well-being) or that could
prevent, limit or confound the protocol-specified assessments. Subject is taking any
prohibited medication
