In the trial, 44% of the subjects in the Darzalex-RVd arm attained sustained MRD negativity that lasted 12 months or more versus 14% in the RVd arm.

Additionally, Darzalex-RVd treatment offered greater stringent complete response (sCR) rates at all time points in the trial, with top rates seen after two years of maintenance therapy.
