About this study

This study will consist of 4 phases:

  • Initial treatment phase where patients will receive fixed duration of Tec-Dara or Tal-Dara.
  • TFI.
  • Re-treatment phase, where patients with confirmed PD will continue treatment with Tec-Dara or Tal-Dara per their assignment in the initial treatment phase.
  • Post-treatment follow-up phase.

  5. IMWG best response

    Time frame: 18 months

    To evaluate the proportion of IMWG best response achieved by a patient during the study. Subject will be classified as Not Evaluable (NE) if they will not have any evaluable response assessment.

  6. Time to response

    Time frame: 9 years

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 includes 30 items in 5 functional scales, 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales, and 6 single symptom items.

    The item and scale scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale. A higher score represents greater HRQoL, better functioning, and more (worse) symptoms.

  14. Change from Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life as Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-life Questionnaire Myeloma 20 (EORTC-MY-20) Scale Score

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The EORTC-QLQ-MY20 is a specialised tool designed to assess the quality of life in myeloma patients.

    Scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, where higher scores on the symptom scales indicate worse outcomes.

  15. Change from Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life as Assessed by Activities of Daily Living (ADL) questionnaire

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The ADL questionnaire assesses functional status by measuring independence in six daily activities.

    The ADL scale is scored from 0 to 8, where higher scores indicate greater independence with daily activities.

  16. Change from Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life as Assessed by Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) questionnaire

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The IADL assesses instrumental activities of daily living, including telephone use, laundry, shopping, food preparation, and mode of transportation.

    The IADL scale is scored from 0 to 8, with higher scores indicating greater independence.

  17. Change from Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life as Assessed by Scale of Subjective Total Taste Acuity (STTA)

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The STTA scale assesses the taste acuity during treatment. The STTA scale is scored from 0 to 4, where 4 indicates almost complete loss of taste acuity.

  18. Change from Baseline in the geriatric assessment as Assessed by Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The GDS scale assesses the depressive symptoms in frail elderly patients. The GDS scale is scored from 0 to 15. Score 1 point for each bolded answer. A score of 5 or more suggests depression.

  19. Change from Baseline in the geriatric assessment as Assessed by Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaire

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The MNA is a validated nutrition screening and assessment tool that can identify geriatric patients age 65 and above who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.

    The MNA scale is scored from 1 to 30. A higher score represents good nutrition, a score less then 17 represents malnutrition.

  20. Change from Baseline in the geriatric assessment as Assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The MMSE is an 11-question tool to assess mental status, testing five cognitive areas.

    The MMSE scale is scored from 1 to 30. A higher score represents good mental state.

  21. Change from Baseline in the geriatric assessment as Assessed by Geriatric Assessment in Hematology (GAH) scale

    Time frame: Up to 9 years

    The GAH scale predicts treatment tolerability in older patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies.

    The 30-item GAH scale was designed through a multi-step process to cover 8 relevant dimensions. Higher scores indicate a more frail or vulnerable patient.
