Sponsor: Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Start date: 2008-03-26; Completion date: 2017-04-03
Enrollment: 104 participants; Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP

Brief summary:
Establishment of safety profile of HuMax-CD38 when given as monotherapy in participants with multiple myeloma relapsed from or refractory to at least 2 different cytoreductive therapies and without further established treatment options.

Detailed description:
This study is conducted in two parts. In part I, participants are enrolled into cohorts at increasing dose levels. Participant safety and efficacy during part I will determine the doses used for Part II. In part II participants will be enrolled into one of two sequential treatment arms using two of the doses defined in part 1 of the study. Part II was 5 cohorts, 3 with 8 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) and 2 with 16 mg/kg. Part I and all but the last cohort in Part II were dosed with Phase 1/ 2 drug product. The last cohort in Part II was dosed with Phase 3 drug product. Both Part I and Part II are open-label/unmasked.

Arms: arm 1: None arm 2: None
Interventions: intervention 1: Part 1: Daratumumab intervention 2: Part 2: Daratumumab intervention 3: Methylprednisolone intervention 4: Dexamethasone
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: First participant will receive intravenous (injection of a substance into a vein) 0.005 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) (planned dose) infusion of daratumumab and other participants will receive different doses. The participants will receive 7 full infusions of daratumumab and 2 predose infusions every 2 weeks. The dose of daratumumab will be escalated sequentially and considering the safety and efficacy of dose in Part 1, dose for Part 2 of the study will be decided. A predose infusion of 10% of the full dose of daratumumab will be administered a day before the first 2 full infusions. intervention 2: In Part 2, the participants will receive dose of daratumumab as determined in part 1 (16 mg/kg) of the study. Participants will receive 8 full infusions at weekly intervals followed by biweekly (every 2 weeks) infusions for 16 additional weeks and monthly infusions until disease progression or unmanageable toxicity, whichever comes first. Predose was dropped at some point in Part 2. A predose infusion of 10 mg daratumumab will be administered on the day before the first full infusion in select cohorts. intervention 3: Pre-dose: Participants (part 1) will receive methylprednisolone 80 mg intravenous (IV) injection 30 minutes to 2 hours before treatment. Participants (part 2) will receive 100 mg methylprednisolone IV 60 minutes to 2 hours before treatment; if a patient experiences no significant infusion-related reactions, the dose of methylprednisolone may be decreased to 50 mg after Visit 4.

Post-dose: All participants (part 1) will receive 40 mg methylprednisolone orally on the first and the second day after all full infusions. During Part 2, all participants will receive 20-25 mg methylprednisolone orally or equivalent on the first and second days after all full-dose infusions. intervention 4: Participants (Part 2) will receive 20 mg dexamethasone intravenous (IV) injection pre-dose, on the first and second days after every full-dose infusions.
