Lenalidomide, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone Induction Therapy with Either Intravenous or Subcutaneous Isatuximab in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
- Conditions
- Multiple Myeloma
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT05804032
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Heidelberg Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The trial aims to demonstrate the non-inferiority of subcutaneous to intravenous isatuximab administration in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
- Detailed Description
Prospective, multicentre, randomised, parallel group, open, phase III clinical trial, for patients with confirmed diagnosis of untreated multiple myeloma requiring systemic therapy.
Investigational Medicinal Product: Isatuximab, subcutaneous administration via a wearable injector system.
Randomization: Patients are randomized in one of 2 study arms (A or B) before induction therapy. Patients randomized in arm A will receive 3 cycles of the monoclonal antibody isatuximab intravenously, combined with RVd regimen (Lenalidomide, Bortezomib, Dexamethasone). Each cycle will last for 42 days. Patients in arm B will receive 3 cycles RVd plus isatuximab subcutaneously. After induction therapy, patients will receive standard intensification (usually cyclophosphamide-based mobilization therapy, stem cell collection and high-dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (HDM/ASCT)). End of study will be after the first HDM/ASCT.
There is one primary objective:
Demonstration of non-inferiority of subcutaneous (SC) isatuximab compared to intravenous (IV) isatuximab, both in combination with RVd, with respect to rates of VGPR or better after induction therapy (according to standard International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria).
Key secondary objectives are:
1. Comparison of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) regarding route of administration of isatuximab (SC vs. IV) on induction therapy as assessed by modified CTSQ (modified 9-item questionnaire).
2. Non-inferiority of rates of MRD negativity (assessed by NGS from BMA; sensitivity 10\^-5) independent of standard IMWG response after induction therapy.
The duration of the trial for each patients is expected to be approximately 10 months (induction and intensification treatment).

Name Time Method Demonstration of non-inferiority of subcutaneous (SC) isatuximab compared to intravenous (IV) isatuximab, both in combination with RVd. 18 weeks after start of study treatment Rates of VGPR or better (according to standard IMWG response criteria), defined as proportion of patients with at least VGPR after induction therapy (according to standard International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Quality of life compared between Arm A and B. 18 weeks after start of study treatment Comparison of PRO (patient-reported outcome) regarding route of administration of isatuximab (SC vs. IV) on induction therapy as assessed by modified CTSQ (modified 9-item questionnaire)
Rates of best overall response to treatment (BOR) Depending on the timepoint of best response out of all response assessments, up to 10 months from randomization proportion of patients with BOR (at least PR or better) to treatment until end of study (based on timepoints post induction cycle 2 and 3, prior to HDM/ASCT and post first HDM/ASCT)
