A Phase 2 Multi-Center, Open Label Study of Isatuximab Added to Standard Cybord Induction and Lenalidomide Maintenance Treatments in Newly Diagnosed, Transplant Eligible Multiple Myeloma

Background: Despite recent improvements, myeloma is still incurable. There is need to add new therapeutic tools. For young and fit patients, the current standard first-line therapy is a proteasome inhibitor (PI) containing induction, followed by stem cell collection, high dose Melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation, followed by maintenance lenalidomide therapy in Canada. The anti-CD38 antibodies showed interesting activity in myeloma, and significant synergism with PI and IMiD based regimens. This CMRG-008 trial is designed to explore the benefit of adding Isatuximab to the current Canadian standard of care (CyBorD induction/Autologous SCT/Maintenance Len) in a single arm phase II trial.
