Role of Isatuximab in Combination Therapy
Isatuximab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, has shown significant benefits in combination therapy for multiple myeloma patients. In particular, when combined with carfilzomib and dexamethasone, it demonstrated a substantial advantage over other treatments. The efficacy of this combination was especially highlighted in patients who were refractory to lenalidomide-based therapy, offering a robust and potent treatment option.
Importance of Immunomodulatory Agents in Multiple Myeloma Treatment
The use of immunomodulatory active agents like Isatuximab in multiple myeloma therapy plays a pivotal role in improving patient outcomes. By targeting patients who are refractory to lenalidomide-based regimens, Isatuximab combined with carfilzomib and dexamethasone has proven to be a significant advancement in treatment efficacy, resulting in substantial benefits over traditional therapies. The extended follow-up periods have further confirmed the long-lasting positive impact of this combination therapy.

Exploring the Efficacy of Isatuximab-Based Combinations in Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
During the 19th International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting, the Multiple Myeloma Hub was pleased to speak to Roman Hájek, University of Ostrava, Ostrava, CZ. We asked, Which patients might benefit the most from isatuximab-based combinations in the relapsed setting?
Hájek begins by explaining that isatuximab is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody currently approved for treatment in combination with pomalidomide + dexamethasone or carfilzomib + dexamethasone. This is followed by a discussion on why these combinations may be helpful for patients previously exposed or refractory to lenalidomide.
