Reproductive Status
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use appropriate method(s) of contraception and must agree to use adequate method to avoid pregnancy for 5 months (30 days plus the time required for durvalumab to undergo five half-lives) after the last dose of study drug.
Appropriate methods of contraception are:
- female sterilization or tubal ligation (at least 6 weeks prior to the start of the study treatment),
- male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to the start of the study treatment) and/or
- a combination of a hormonal method of contraception with a barrier method or/and
- an intrauterine device or system
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of β-HCG) within one until two weeks prior to the start of durvalumab at time of neoadjuvant treatment and after surgery before starting adjuvant treatment.
- Women will be not be considered to be of childbearing potential if they are post-menopausal and/or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy). To be considered post-menopausal the appropriate age-specific requirements have to be met:
- Women < 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution.
- Women ≥ 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses > 1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses > 1 year ago.
- Women must not be breastfeeding. Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must use any contraceptive method with a failure rate of less than 1% per year. Men receiving durvalumab and who are sexually active with WOCBP must be willing to adhere to contraception for a period of 7 month post treatment completion.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject has received any multiple myeloma therapy previously except dexamethasone to a maximum cumulative dose of 160mg, emergency radiotherapy or surgery for symptom control
- Participation in other interventional clinial trials
- Subject has known meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma.
- Subject has a history of malignancy (other than multiple myeloma) within 3 years before the date of Screening.
Subject has either of the following:
- Known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) <50% of predicted normal. Note that FEV1 testing is required for subjects suspected of having COPD and subjects must be excluded if FEV1 is <50% of predicted normal.
Known moderate or severe persistent asthma, within the past 2 years, 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.
- Use of drugs with significant interaction with or intolerance to the investigational product
- Subject is known to be seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- active hepatitis B (defined by a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or positive HBV DNA)
- Subject has any concurrent medical condition or disease (eg, active systemic infection) that is likely to interfere with study procedures or results, or that in the opinion of the investigator would constitute a hazard for participating in this study.
- Patients has known current symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III-IV), unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia
Subject has any of the following laboratory test results during the Screening Phase:
- Absolute neutrophil count ≤1.0 × 109/L;
- Platelet count <50 × 109/L
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase level (ALT) ≥2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Alkaline phosphatase level ≥2.5 × ULN
- Total bilirubin level ≥1.5 × ULN, (except for Gilbert Syndrome: direct bilirubin 1.5 × ULN)
- Pregnant women and nursing mothers, or a women who is planning to become pregnant while enrolled in this study or within 3 month after the last dose of daratumumab
Failure to use highly-effective contraceptive methods. The following contraceptive methods with a Pearl Index lower than 1% are regarded as highly-effective:
- Oral hormonal contraception ('pill')
- Dermal hormonal contraception
- Vaginal hormonal contraception (NuvaRing®)
- Contraceptive plaster
- Long-acting injectable contraceptives
- Implants that release progesterone (Implanon®)
- Tubal ligation (female sterilisation)
- Intrauterine devices that release hormones (hormone spiral)
- Double barrier methods This means that the following are not regarded as safe: condom plus spermicide, simple barrier methods (vaginal pessaries, condom, female condoms), copper spirals, the rhythm method, basal temperature method, and the withdrawal method (coitus interruptus).
- Persons with any kind of dependency on the principal investigator or employed by the sponsor or principal investigator
- Legally incapictated persons
- Subject is known or suspected of not being able to comply with the study protocol(eg, because of alcoholism, drug dependency, or psychological disorder) or the 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 their well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments.
- Persons held in an institution by legal or official order

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Daratumumab added to VCd in induction, Vd in maintenance and Rd at relapse
Daratumumab at standard dose of 1800 mg will be administered subcutaneously at weekly intervals in cycles 1-2 and every 2 weeks in cycles 3-6 and every 4 weeks in cycles 7-8 together with VCD using bortezomib weekly s.c. for 8 cycles of 28 days each, cyclophosphamide i.v. at 500 mg/m2 on d1 of every cycle and dexamethasone p.o. at 20 mg per week. Maintenance will be daratumumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks with bortezomib s.c. and dexamethasone 20 mg every 2 weeks until progression or intolerance. At relapse/progression treatment will be daratumumab 1800 mg subcutaneously weekly during cycle 1-2, every 2 weeks in cycle 3-6 and every 4 weeks thereafter together with lenalidomide 25 mg p.o. day 1-21 and dexamethasone 20-40 mg weekly.
