Experimental Treatments

Learn more about the experimental treatments being evaluated in this clinical trial.

  • Bortezomib Bortezomib is a kind of medication called a proteasome inhibitor that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. Bortezomib is used to treat multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma.
  • Daratumumab is a type of cancer drug called a monoclonal antibody. Daratumumab attaches to a protein called CD38, which is present in high numbers on the surface of multiple myeloma cells, as well as on certain other types of cells, such as red blood cells.
  • Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, and is given in conjunction with some cancer treatments.
  • Lenalidomide is an oral immunomodulatory drug that may help the immune system kill cancer cells. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow.
