Trial design
CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Efficacy, Safety, Therapy
To compare the efficacy of extended VRD# + ASCT plus ERI& (Arm B) vs. Isatuximab-VRD# + ASCT (Arm A) in terms of proportion of patients who are MRD-negative by next-generation flow cytometry (NGF) after 18 cycles + ASCT*
#VRD: Lenalidomide-Bortezomib-Dex;
&ERI: Early Rescue Intervention with Iberdomide-Isatuximab.
* 18 cycles would be:
- Arms A & C: Induction x4 + ASCT + Consolidation x2 + Continuous x12
- Arm B: Induction x6 + ASCT + Consolidation x2 + Extended x10
Secondary objectives 4
- Safety secondary objective 2.1: To assess the safety of Isatuximab-VID* + ASCT (Arm C). *VID: Iberdomide-Bortezomib-Dex.
- Key secondary efficacy objective 2.2: To explore preliminary efficacy comparison of Arm C (Isatuximab-VID* + ASCT) vs. Arm A (Isatuximab-VRD# + ASCT) in terms of proportion of patients who reach NGF MRD-negative after Induction (4 cycles) + ASCT+ consolidation (two cycles) and 12 continuous treatment cycles.

| 1 | GEM21menos65 This is a Phase III open-label, 3-arm, parallel, randomized, controlled trial.
The trial tests two co-primary hypothesis (a superiority hypothesis related to primary end-point B1; and a non-inferiority hypothesis related to primary end-point B2); and two key secondary superiority hypotheses.
The trial is adaptive to the extent that some design elements may be requalified following the early or interim safety and efficacy analyses.
Patients will receive treatment until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, patient withdrawal, loss to follow-up, end of study or death.
Participants will be evaluated for study eligibility per protocol as defined in the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria.

Endpoints
Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)
Primary endpoints 2
- Improvement in the percentage of patients MRD-negative in Arm A vs. Arm B when considering B1 endpoint. B1 endpoint: VRD extended impact only, without considering ERI impact: any patient that require an ERI per protocol before finishing the 18 cycles + ASCT, will be considered MRD-positive at that time, independently of the ERI impact
- Non-inferiority in the percentage of patients MRD-negative in Arm A vs. Arm B when considering B2 endpoint. B2 endpoint: VRD extended plus ERI impact: any patient who achieves MRD negativity with ERI before finishing the 18 cycles + ASCT will be considered MRD-negative at that time.
