ISABELA Trial Summary

This trial evaluates treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with isatuximab and belantamab mafodotin.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have adequate liver function, can take aspirin daily, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding. Participants must agree to contraception methods and join the Pomalyst REMS program. They should be able to swallow capsules whole, have an ECOG status ≤ 2, certain levels of hemoglobin and measurable disease indicators.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of drugs: Isatuximab, Belantamab Mafodotin (Bela Maf), Pomalidomide (Pom), and Dexamethasone (Dex) for their effectiveness in treating multiple myeloma that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include eye issues (especially if wearing contact lenses), increased risk of infections due to low blood cell counts, potential liver problems indicated by hepatic function requirements, fatigue from dexamethasone use, as well as other organ inflammation.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Isatuximab + Belantamab mafodotin + Pomalidomide + DexamethasoneExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Isatuximab will be given once daily into your vein (by intravenous infusion) over about 30-60 minutes. This will occur during cycle 1 (cycle equals 28 days) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and cycle 2 and onwards days 1 and 15. Belantamab mafodotin will be given once every 8 weeks into your vein (by intravenous infusion) over about 60 minutes after completion of isatuximab infusion. Pomalidomide will be taken orally once daily during days 1-21 of each cycle. Dexamethasone will be taken orally once daily during days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23 of each cycle. Drug diaries will be provided to participants to document information about taking pomalidomide and dexamethasone.
