This study is comprised of a main study, an observational study, and optional survey studies. The main study is being done to see whether using Duffy null specific treatment dosing guidelines can reduce or delay dose modifications and avoid neutropenic fever (fever in the setting of low neutrophils) for people with Duffy null phenotype receiving treatment for multiple myeloma or triple negative breast cancer. The observational study is to collect dose modification and neutropenic fever information on patients who do not have the Duffy null phenotype and receive the same standard of care regimens to see if there are differences in dose modifications and neutropenic fever between the two groups. The survey studies seek to understand general health experiences and preferences and experiences specific to people with Duffy null phenotype. Study Drugs Include: * Daratumumab * lenalidomide * bortezomib * dexamethasone * carboplatin * paclitaxel * pembrolizumab * cyclophosphamide * doxorubicin
This research study is a parallel arm, pragmatic, pilot study. As a pilot study it will be the first time investigators are examining using Duffy null specific dose modification guidelines for treatment dosing for participants with multiple myeloma or triple negative breast cancer receiving treatment of: * Daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone for multiple myeloma * Paclitaxel, carboplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and pembrolizumab for triple negative breast cancer The study will also be looking to understand health experiences of participants with and without the Duffy null phenotype through optional observational and survey studies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone as a treatment option for some individuals with multiple myeloma. This study uses these drugs in ways typically used in clinical practice but not in ways approved by the FDA. Specifically, the FDA approval does not approve the use of this treatment for more than 4 cycles prior to stem cell transplantation or in those who are deferring or ineligible for transplantation, or with the specific drug dosing used in this study. These unapproved modifications, however, are supported by treatment guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved paclitaxel, carboplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and pembrolizumab for preoperative treatment of triple negative breast cancer. This study uses these drugs in ways typically used in clinical practice but not in ways approved by the FDA. Specifically, the FDA approval does not approve the use of this treatment in individuals who have 1-10% ER or PR positivity (called low-level positivity). This population, however, is often treated as having ER or PR negative disease, and this treatment decision is noted as acceptable by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, clinical exams-medical history/physical exam, study treatment, and surveys. The study treatment for the multiple myeloma group will be Bortezomib, Daratumumab, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone given over a 28 day cycle for 6 cycles. The study treatment for the triple negative breast cancer group will receive treatment in two phases. * The first phase will be Paclitaxel, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab over a 21 day cycle for 4 cycles. * The second phase will be doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and pembrolizumab over a 21 day cycle for 4 cycles. Participants who elect to take part in the optional observational studies will provide use of medical records for comparison of Duffy null and non-Duffy null populations. Participants who elect to take part in the optional short surveys will complete the short surveys. It is expected that about 90 people will take part in this research study, 60 in the treatment study, and 30 in the observational study. The Principal Investigator of this study and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are the primary sponsors of this study.

Avoided or reduced systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) modifications per cycle
An ANC-related avoided or reduced SACT change is defined as an instance of no change in SACT dosing (by avoiding a dose hold, dose level change, or drug discontinuation) OR an instance of reduction in the SACT dose modification (through earlier resumption of therapy with or without avoidance of a dose modification in a subsequent cycle) using this study's Duffy null-specific parameters for ANC dose modifications compared to the dose modification that would have occurred according to the parameters used in PERSEUS (Dara-RVD) or Keynote 522 trials. For the primary outcome measure, an ANC-related avoided or reduced SACT change is measured on a per-cycle basis as a binary outcome.
Time frame: Avoided or reduced modifications determined by ANC (anticancer therapy) values in each treatment cycle. Coh 1 (Dara-RVD) is 6 cycles(cycle=28 dys)-ANC assessed days 1, 8, 15, & 22. Coh 2 has 8 cycles (cycle=21 dys)-ANC assessed days 1, 8, & 15
Overall cumulative incidence of neutropenic fever
Neutropenic fever is defined using modified CTCAE criteria. Grade 3 being defined as "ANC\<500/uL with a single temperature of \>38.3 C or a sustained temperature of \>38 for more than one hour"; and Grade 4 defined as "Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated". The cumulative incidence will be calculated as the number of participants with at least one documented occurrence of neutropenic fever, over the total number of participants enrolled.
Time frame: Neutropenic fever is assessed from treatment initiation through the end of protocol-based treatment. It will be assessed at baseline and before treatment dosing during each cycle (Coh1 is 6 cycles (cycle=28 days); Coh 2 is 8 cycles (cycle=21 days)).
Avoided or reduced systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) modifications per ANC check (i.e. per week)
An ANC-related avoided or reduced SACT change is defined as an instance of no change in SACT dosing (by avoiding a dose hold, dose level change, or drug discontinuation) OR an instance of reduction in the SACT dose modification (through earlier resumption of therapy with or without avoidance of a dose modification in a subsequent cycle) using this study's Duffy null-specific parameters for ANC dose modifications compared to the dose modification that would have occurred according to the parameters used in PERSEUS (Dara-RVD) or Keynote 522 trials. For the secondary outcome measure, an ANC-related avoided or reduced SACT change is measured on a per-ANC check basis as a binary outcome.
Time frame: Avoided or reduced modifications determined by ANC (anticancer therapy) values during each treatment cycle. Coh1 (Dara-RVD) is 6 cycles(cycle=28 dys)- ANC assessed on days 1, 8, 15, & 22. Coh 2 is 8 cycles (cycle=21 dys)- ANC assessed days 1, 8, & 15
Cumulative incidence of neutropenic fever within regimen
Neutropenic fever is defined using modified CTCAE criteria. Grade 3 being defined as ""ANC\<500/uL with a single temperature of \>38.3 C or a sustained temperature of \>38 for more than one hour""; and Grade 4 defined as ""Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated"". The cumulative incidence will be calculated as the number of participants with at least one documented occurrence of neutropenic fever, over the total number of participants enrolled in the regimen."
Time frame: Neutropenic fever will be assessed from initiation of treatment through end of the last cycle of protocol-based treatment; cycle length and number varies by phase of therapy. It will be assessed at baseline and before therapy dosing during each cycle.
Relative dose intensity (RDI)
RDI will be calculated as the dose of the therapy administered divided by the dose as specified in the protocol. For multi-agent regimens, dose intensity will be calculated separately for each agent. Calculations will be done within patient.
Time frame: Dosing, for the calculation of RDI, will be assessed immediately at the time of protocol-specified treatment from the initiation of treatment through treatment completion, an average of 6 months. Cycle and treatment length vary by treatment phase.
