About This Trial

To learn if isatuximab can help to control highrisk MM when given in combination with lenalidomide after an autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Multiple Myeloma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 61 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Multiple Myeloma subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Females of childbearing potential must have (before starting treatment) a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 10-14 days prior to and again within 24 hours prior to starting Isatuximab and with each cycle of study treatment. Females of childbearing potential must refrain from becoming pregnant and commit to either apply highly effective method of birth control (two reliable methods of birth control) or continue abstinence from heterosexual intercourse during study period and for at least 5 months after last dose of Isatuximab. Patients who receive Lenalidomide should continue to follow REVLIMID REMSTM requirements. 10.
