Nearly nothing at all. DDC is a process technique that allows the transistor gate to have better control over the channel by cleverly doping the substrate underneath. It allows for transistor performance closer to finFETs and FDSOI with traditional planar CMOS processes and substrates. Near-threshold computing is a design technique that allows you to operate effectively closer to the transistor's threshold voltage. Outside of the fact that DDC would likely allow you to operate at a slightly lower threshold voltage than traditional transistors, they have almost nothing to do with each other.
