Double-class refractory is defined as both IMiD and PI refractory disease.

Triple-class refractory is defined as IMID, PI, and CD38-targeting antibody refractory disease.

Refractory disease is defined as PD during therapy, no response (<PR), or PD within 60 days of stopping treatment, according to the International Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma.

§

3 patients had previously been treated with daratumumab 16, 42, and 48 months before registration.

As determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization or single nucleotide polymorphism array on purified MM cells before start of daratumumab treatment.

#

According to the criteria proposed by Sonneveld et al. Blood 2016.46 High risk disease is defined by the presence of t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), del(17/17p), and/or gain(1q).
