About

The purpose of the study is to determine the best treatment approach based on the risk profile of the cancer cells and on how the disease responds to treatment. This is a randomized research study evaluating treatment for transplant-eligible participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Induction therapy in this study includes the drugs isatuximab, iberdomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone. After induction therapy, participants will receive consolidation and maintenance therapy that is adapted based on their risk profile and response to treatment.

The research study procedures include: screening for eligibility, study visits, blood and bone marrow tests, disease assessments, treatment with study drugs, and follow-up visits.

It is expected that about 720 participants will take part in this study.

Full description

This is a Phase III, open-label, multicenter randomized research study designed to evaluate different treatment strategies for people with multiple myeloma. The study will look at how often participants achieve MRD-negative status after maintenance therapy, compare different consolidation approaches, and assess long-term outcomes. Participants who are eligible will be assigned to study groups based on their cytogenetic risk and how their disease responds to induction therapy.

All participants will first receive induction treatment with isatuximab, iberdomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone for 8 cycles. After induction, participants with standard-risk disease who are MRD-negative will continue to maintenance treatment with isatuximab and iberdomide for up to 36 cycles. After that, depending on their MRD status, they may continue on iberdomide alone or remain on the combination treatment. Participants with high-risk disease, or those who are MRD-positive or have indeterminate MRD results, will be randomized to receive either consolidation with high-dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transplant, or linvoseltamab, followed by maintenance therapy. Participants who are not eligible for consolidation, or who have indeterminate MRD status, may receive maintenance treatment with isatuximab, iberdomide, and bortezomib. The study also includes biomarker testing and participant-reported outcome assessments.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, clinic visits, blood tests, urine tests, CT scans, bone marrow sample collection and biobanking, MRD testing, stem cell collection, skeletal survey or PET scans, and electrocardiograms.

The study drugs include melphalan, bortezomib, and dexamethasone are approved by the FDA for the initial treatment of multiple myeloma. Isatuximab and linvoseltamab are approved by the FDA for multiple myeloma that has returned after prior treatment. Iberdomide is currently being studied for the treatment of multiple myeloma and has not been approved by the FDA for any disease.

The study also includes an injector device, referred to as the On Body Delivery System (OBDS), also called Isatuximab subcutaneous Wearable Injection System. OBDS is a sterile, single-use, disposable, elastomeric, user-filled medical device, which includes an on-body delivery device designed for subcutaneous delivery of a defined volume of drug product and an integrated drug product syringe transfer base.

It is expected that about 720 people will take part in this research study.

Sanofi Pharmaceuticals, is supporting this research study by providing isatuximab, Celgene, a subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb, is providing, iberdomide, and Regeneron is providing linvoseltamab. Study drugs are free of charge and all sponsors are providing some funding for the study.
