This trial studies the side effects and best dose of bendamustine and how well it works when given together with isatuximab and prednisone for the treatment of multiple myeloma that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with isatuximab, may induce changes in body’s immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as prednisone lower the body’s immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Giving isatuximab, bendamustine, and prednisone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma compared to chemotherapy alone.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of isatuximab in combination with bendamustine and prednisone in participants with refractory multiple myeloma. (Phase I)
II. To evaluate the efficacy of isatuximab in combination with bendamustine and prednisone in participants with refractory multiple myeloma. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and toxicity of isatuximab, bendamustine, and prednisone. (Both phases)
II. To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with refractory multiple myeloma treated with isatuximab in combination with bendamustine and prednisone. (Phase II)
III. To evaluate overall survival in participants with refractory multiple myeloma treated with isatuximab in combination with bendamustine and prednisone. (Phase II)
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of bendamustine hydrochloride followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive isatuximab intravenously (IV) on day 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycle 1 and days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive bendamustine hydrochloride IV on days 1 and 2 and prednisone IV or orally (PO) on days 1-4. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for up to 5 years.
