DARZALEX® + Velcade® + melphalan + prednisone (DVMP)

Transplant-ineligible

DARZALEX® delivers remarkable efficacy in combination with Velcade® (bortezomib), melphalan and prednisone*[1][2][3][4]

ALCYONE study

Prof. María-Victoria Mateos presents the results from ALCYONE study.

Study design

ALCYONE is a randomised, open-label, active controlled, multicentre phase 3 study comparing DVMP vs. VMP alone. N=706[2]

* DVTd vs. VTd alone.

Subgroup analyses

DARZALEX® + VMP provided consistently better responses regardless of age or cytogenetic risk.[4]

With increasing depth of response to DARZALEX® + VMP (≥CR with MRD negativity vs. ≥CR vs. VGPR vs. PR), patients achieved greater outcomes in progression-free survival, time to next therapy, overall survival, and health-related quality of life.[5]

Sustained MRD negativity

In both treatment arms of the ALCYONE study, MRD negativity sustained for a minimum of 12 months resulted in improved PFS and OS compared with MRD negativity sustained for less than 12 months.[4]

* DVMP vs. VMP alone.

† Minimal residual disease was assessed by means of an Adaptive Biotechnologies clonoSEQ next-generation sequencing assay (version 2.0) with the use of bone marrow aspirate collected at screening, at the time of confirmation of CR/sCR and at 12, 18, 24, and 30 months after the first dose.[2]

Safety Profile

DARZALEX® + VMP offers a manageable tolerability profile
  • Consistent safety profile with known tolerability of regimen components[2]
  • Lower discontinuation rates due to adverse events with DVMP vs. VMP[4]
  • IRRs were usually Grade 1–2, and the majority occurred during the first infusion[2]

* DVMP vs. VMP alone.
