PG - 628-635 LID - 10.1111/ejh.14057 [doi] AB - 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.
