Details and patient eligibility

About

Historically, the frailest patients with multiple myeloma are under-represented in clinical trials, and have very high rates of treatment discontinuation, and early treatment mortality. The investigators hypothesize that a go-slow gentle approach to starting treatment in such patients, starting with just Isatuximab and dexamethasone with a gentle introduction to lenalidomide third cycle onwards, may improve treatment adherence and quality of life. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a go-slow approach to treating MM in ultra-frail patients may improve the ability to adhere to treatment and improve quality of life.

Exclusion criteria

Receiving other investigational agents.
Any condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, compromise the subject's ability to understand the subject information, give informed consent, and/or contraindicate the subject's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance with clinical study procedures (e.g., infection/inflammation, intestinal obstruction, unable to swallow medication, [subjects may not receive the drug through a feeding tube], social/ psychological issues, etc.)
Known prior severe hypersensitivity (NCI CTCAE v5.0 Grade ≥ 3) to investigational product (IP) or any component in its formulations. This includes hypersensitivity or history of intolerance to steroids, mannitol, pregelatinized starch, sodium stearyl fumarate, histidine (as base and hydrochloride salt), arginine hydrochloride, poloxamer 188, sucrose or any of the other components of study intervention that are not amenable to premedication with steroids and H2 blockers or would prohibit further treatment with these agents.
Subjects currently taking prohibited medications as described in the protocol.
