Isatuximab, Dexamethasone and Lenalidomide in a Go-Slow Fashion for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma in Ultra-Frail Patients

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well isatuximab, dexamethasone and lenalidomide works in treating ultra-frail patients with multiple myeloma (MM). This study uses isatuximab in combination with low dose dexamethasone as a gentle approach to starting treatment for MM. Isatuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by helping the body to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Lenalidomide is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Using a go-slow approach, with isatuximab with dexamethasone and lenalidomide, may help to treat MM by improving quality of life and may help ultra-frail patients stay on treatment longer.
