This trial investigates the use of Daratumumab (DARA), an antibody directed at the human cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) molecule, for the treatment of patients with Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, m Protein Component, Skin Changes (POEMS) syndrome. This trial will enroll ten subjects, who will complete 12 four-week cycles of DARA, in combination with the immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) lenalidomide. Objectives of this study include improvement in neuropathy and performance status, as well as improvement in laboratory values and survival.

Objectives of this study include improvement in neuropathy and performance status, as well as improvement in laboratory values and survival. Patients will receive DARA in the outpatient setting, with infusions being administered in Infusion 4. Safety and response assessments will occur prior to Cycles 1 through 6, and at the end of DARA treatment. Once DARA is completed, response assessments are completed every 6 months for the first year, then annually until disease progression. Subjects will also be followed for overall survival.
