S145 PHASE 3 RANDOMIZED STUDY OF DARATUMUMAB + BORTEZOMIB/THALIDOMIDE/DEXAMETHASONE (D-VTD) VERSUS VTD IN TRANSPLANT-ELIGIBLE NEWLY DIAGNOSED MULTIPLE MYELOMA: PART 1 CASSIOPEIA RESULTS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: VTd is a standard of care for transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients. Daratumumab (DARA), a CD38 mAb, significantly reduced the risk of progression or death and improved complete response (CR) and minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative rates in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma or transplant-ineligible NDMM in phase 3 studies. Aims: We report the primary and final analysis of Part 1 of the CASSIOPEIA trial for NDMM. Methods: In Part 1, transplant-eligible NDMM patients 18–65 years old were randomized 1:1 to VTd (6 28-day cycles [C; 4 pre-autologous stem cell transplantation {ASCT} induction, 2 post-ASCT consolidation] of V 1.3 mg/m2 SC BIW Week [W] 1–2; T 100 mg PO QD; d 40–80 mg/week PO or IV W 1-4 C 1-2, W 1-3 C 3-6) ± DARA (16 mg/kg IV QW C 1-2, Q2W C 3-6). Melphalan 200 mg/m2 was pre-ASCT therapy. The primary endpoint was the rate of post-consolidation stringent complete response (sCR) assessed at Day 100 post-ASCT. Part 2 (maintenance) is ongoing. Results: A cohort of 1085 patients (D-VTd, 543; VTd, 542) was randomized. The Day 100 post-ASCT sCR rate was significantly higher for the D-VTd arm versus the VTd arm (28.9% vs 20.3%; P = 0.0010; Table). With 18.8-months median follow-up, progression-free survival (PFS) from first randomization favored D-VTd with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.47 (95% CI, 0.33-0.67; P < 0.0001; Figure). With median PFS not reached in either arm, 18-month PFS rates were 92.7% versus 84.6% for D-VTd versus VTd. Rates of ≥CR, ≥VGPR, and MRD negativity supported sCR results (Table). Overall survival is immature with 46 deaths on study (D-VTd, 14; VTd, 32; HR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.23–0.80). The most common (≥10%) grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events (D-VTd/VTd) were neutropenia (27.6%/14.7%), lymphopenia (17.0%/9.7%), stomatitis (12.7%/16.4%), and thrombocytopenia (11.0%/7.4%). In the D-VTd arm, infusion-related reactions occurred in 35.4% of patients.Summary/Conclusion: D-VTd in induction prior to and consolidation after ASCT improved depth of response (sCR, ≥CR, and MRD negativity) and PFS with acceptable safety. The favorable benefit-risk profile supports the use of D-VTd in transplant-eligible NDMM. CASSIOPEIA is the first study to demonstrate the clinical benefit of daratumumab plus standard of care in transplant-eligible NDMM patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
