DARZALEX® + Velcade® + dexamethasone (DVd)

After at least one prior therapy

DARZALEX® delivers remarkable efficacy in combination with Velcade® (bortezomib) and dexamethasone (Vd) in relapsed/refractory patients with ≥1 prior therapy*[1][2][3][4]

Highlight

Prof. María-Victoria Mateos discusses 4-year updates on the CASTOR study – DARZALEX®+ Vd in RRMM

Study design

CASTOR is a randomised, open-label, active-controlled, multicentre phase 3 study comparing DARZALEX® + Vd (DVd) vs. Vd. N=498[2]

* DVTd vs. VTd alone.

Subgroup analyses

DARZALEX® + Vd provided consistently better outcomes across pre-specified patient subgroups:[3][4][5][6]

  • High-risk cytogenetics
  • Prior lenalidomide exposure
  • One prior line

* DVd vs. Vd alone.

† MRD was assessed via next-generation sequencing on bone marrow aspirate samples that were ficolled and evaluated by the US Food and Drug Administration–approved clonoSEQ® assay V2.0 (Adaptive Biotechnologies, Seattle, WA) at sensitivity thresholds of 10-4 (1 cancer cell per 10,000 nucleated cells), 10-5, and 10-6.[3]

Safety Profile

DARZALEX® + Vd offers a manageable tolerability profile
  • No new safety concerns with longer follow-up (>4 years)[4]
  • Similar discontinuation rates between DVd and Vd[4]
  • Manageable infusion-related reactions (IRRs), with the majority occurring during the first infusion[2]

* DRd vs. Vd alone.
