Study Summary

This trial is studying if a combination of isatuximab, carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone can shrink or slow the growth of multiple myeloma in patients who have relapsed or are refractory.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or isn't responding to treatment. Participants must have had prior therapy including lenalidomide, measurable disease by specific criteria, and adequate organ function. They should not have uncontrolled infections, certain heart conditions, other primary malignancies not in remission for at least a year (with some exceptions), or recent anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody therapy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines the combination of isatuximab (a cancer cell growth inhibitor), carfilzomib (blocks proteins needed for cancer cell growth), pomalidomide (may shrink/slow tumor growth), and dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory) in treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. It's a phase II trial aiming to see if this drug combo can effectively kill more cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system due to isatuximab, fatigue, blood disorders from carfilzomib and pomalidomide, increased risk of infection from all drugs involved, and possible steroid-related effects such as elevated blood sugar levels from dexamethasone.
