Study hypothesis
The aim of this study is to look at whether a combination of four novel agents bortezomib (Velcade), lenalidomide (Revlamid) dexamethasone & Daratumumab (darzalex) with cyclophosphamide is active in a high risk patients, to take forward into a phase III trial compared to standard treatment.

Intervention
All participants undergo the following treatment:
Induction (6 cycles):
Cyclophosphamide 500mg, days 1, 8 Bortezomib 1.3mg/m2, days 1, 4, 8, 11 Lenalidomide 25mg, days 1-14 Daratumumab 16mg/kg, days 1, 8, 15 (cycles 1& 2), day 1 only from cycle 3 Dexamethasone 20-40mg, days 1, 4, 8, 11
ASCT stem cell harvest:
with Bortezomib 1.3mg/m2, (12 hours post melphalan) Bortezomib 1.3mg/m2, day +5, +14, weekly
Consolidation part 1 (6 cycles):
Bortezomib 1.3mg/m2 days 1, 8, 15, 22 Lenalidomide 25mg days 1-21 Daratumumab 16mg/kg day 1 Dexamethasone 20-40mg days 1, 8, 15, 22

Drug
Phase
Phase II
Drug names
1. Bortezomib (Velcade)
2. Lenalidomide (Revlamid)
3. Dexamethasone
4. Daratumumab (darzalex)
Primary outcome measure
Whether a combination of four novel agents bortezomib, lenalidomide, Daratumumab & dexamethasone in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide is sufficiently active in a high risk population of myeloma patients, to take forward into a phase, as determined during analysis at the end of the recruitment.
Secondary outcome measures
1. The safety and toxicity profile will be determined by capturing AEs, ARs, SAEs and SUSARs from registrations to 90 days post treatment discontinuation
2. Clinical activity will be measured by collecting bone marrow samples and measuring response from registration until the end of the trial.
3. Treatment compliance is assessed by reviewing the patient’s data at the end of each cycle during the treatment period
4. Overall treatment benefit and a clinician’s assessment of treatment benefit is measured on how both the patient and clinicians feel that the patient is doing on treatment. This is captured at the end of induction therapy and 100 days post-ASCT
5. Quality of life will be captured on QOL questionnaires at the end of induction, 100 days post-transplant, at day 1 of consolidation 1 and 2 and at day 1 of maintenance
