Isatuximab (formerly SAR650984) is a humanized, IgG1-derived monoclonal antibody (mAb) produced from a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line. Structurally, isatuximab is comprised of two identical immunoglobulin kappa light chains and two identical immunoglobulin gamma heavy chains. It is a cytolytic antibody targeted against CD38, a glycoprotein found on the surface of some immune cells that is highly expressed by malignant plasma cells in multiple myeloma. Along with daratumumab, another anti-CD38 mAb, isatuximab constitutes a novel treatment modality for patients with difficult-to-treat multiple myeloma.
Following three consecutive years on the yearly "Antibodies to watch" list published in "mAb", a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to antibody research, isatuximab was granted Orphan Drug designation and approved on March 2nd, 2020, for the treatment of multiple myeloma. It is manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis U.S. under the brand name Sarclisa.
Isatuximab is indicated in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of multiple myeloma in adults who have received at least two prior therapies including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. It is also indicated in combination carfilzomib and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.
