To determine whether a combination of four novel agents bortezomib(Velcade), lenalidomide (Revlimid), Daratumumab (Darzalex) \& dexamethasone in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide is sufficiently active in a high risk population of myeloma patients, to take forward into a phase III trial compared to standard treatment.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell tumour with an annual incidence in the UK of approximately 40 -50 per million i.e. 4500 new cases per annum. Approximately 20% of the patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma have a significantly worse prognosis at 3 years than other multiple myeloma patients and these are characterised as having high risk (HR) disease defined by genetic lesions and gene expression profiles (GEP). There have been no significant improvements in outcome over the last decade for patients with HR disease. Therefore, it is important to identify more effective treatment options for this group of patients especially given that the number of novel agents are potentially available and which can be given as part of intensive therapy regimen. Intensive treatment in HR patients has been used outside the UK with promising results but access to drugs in the UK has been challenging with constraints in the NHS treatment pathway. This is the first time in the UK that newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients may be entered into a clinical trial prospectively according to their genetic risk profile. It provides a unique opportunity to improve outcomes and provide evidence for high cost novel treatment strategies in this restricted population of poor prognosis patients. The MUKnine trial is designed to evaluate the novel treatment strategies for multiple myeloma patients with HR disease and incorporate a genetic screening component. Patients identified as having HR disease are then invited to take part in the phase II single arm, multi centre trial that investigates the intensive treatment schedule comprising four novel agents bortezomib (Velcade), lenalidomide (Revlimid), daratumumab (Daralex), dexamethasone with cyclophosphamide. The trial will determine if this treatment strategy is sufficiently active to take forward in to further testing in this population. Patients identified as not having HR disease will receive standard local treatment and will be followed up in a cohort study to assess response, progression free survival and overall survival.

Progression free survival
Defined as the time from registration until first documented evidence of progressive disease or death. Participants not progressed at analysis will be censored at the last date known to be alive and progression free.
Time frame: At 18 months post registration
Occurrence of Serious Adverse Events(SAE) and Suspected, Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSAR)
Will be reported based on occurrence of SAE \& SUSARs with details of causality and expectedness.
Time frame: At 120 days post autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT)
Progression free survival at 100 days post autologous stem cell transplant
Determine whether the treatment schedule should be dropped for futility
Time frame: At 100 days post ASCT
Minimal residual disease (MRD) negative disease
Defined as absence of aberrant phenotype plasma cells
Time frame: At 100 days post ASCT
Overall survival
Median overall survival estimates
Time frame: At 12 months, 24 months & 36 months post registration
Maximum response
Proportion of participants achieving each response category. Time from registration until the participant achieves a maximum response.
Time frame: From registration to end of induction therapy, 100 days post ASCT, post consolidation part 2
Overall response
Proportion of participants receiving at least a partial response

Quality of life using the EQ-5D questionnaire
Quality of life will be summarised at each post-registration timepoint, adjusting for baseline mean scores and 95% confidence intervals. This will also be summarised descriptively using bar charts, box plots, plots of mean QoL over time and summary tables.
Time frame: From registration until second disease progression, 3 years
