- Abstract
Objectives: Isatuximab is approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with dexamethasone and carfilzomib or pomalidomide. Patients receiving these three‐drug regimens have exhibited more Grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs) compared to the two‐drug class combination of isatuximab and steroids alone. Thus, this single‐center retrospective study investigated the efficacy of isatuximab with dexamethasone and methylprednisolone (ISAdm) for RRMM patients showing only biochemical progression (BP) of their disease. Methods: Twenty‐four RRMM patients exhibiting only BP were administered isatuximab at 10 mg/kg with dexamethasone once weekly for cycle 1 of a 28‐day cycle, followed by every other week for each cycle thereafter. Starting in cycle 2, oral methylprednisolone was added every other day stopping 48 h before and starting 48 h after each dexamethasone infusion. Results: Overall response rate and clinical benefit rate were 63% and 79%, respectively. Progression free survival was 12.9 months. There were only 5 AEs of Grade ≥ 3 which included lymphocytopenia (13%), leukopenia (4%), and neutropenia (4%). No Grade ≥ 3 AE related to respiratory infection, anemia, or thrombocytopenia were reported. Conclusion: This study shows that the two‐drug class combination of ISAdm is an effective and well tolerated treatment option for RRMM patients exhibiting only BP.
