This was a randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase 3 multicenter study which enrolled patients with Relapsed-Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) who were either double refractory to an Immunomodulatory Drug (IMiD) and a Proteasome Inhibitor (PI) (regardless of the number of prior lines of therapy), or had received at least 3 prior lines of therapy including an IMiD and a PI. Patients received treatment with melflufen+dexamethasone+daratumumab or daratumumab until documented progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or patient/treating physician decision. Patients in the daratumumab treatment arm had the option to receive treatment with melflufen+dexamethasone+daratumumab after confirmed progressive disease.
