Study Summary

This trial looks at how well a monoclonal antibody called isatuximab works in treating patients with smoldering plasma cell myeloma that is high risk.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with high risk smoldering plasma cell myeloma, showing specific levels of monoclonal protein or bone marrow plasma cells. They must be at high risk for developing multiple myeloma and have good kidney, liver, and blood health. Women who can bear children and men with partners who can must use birth control. Exclusions include HIV, recent major surgery, uncontrolled diseases like heart failure or hypertension, prior treatments for this condition, pregnancy or breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Isatuximab's effectiveness in patients with a pre-cancerous condition called high risk smoldering plasma cell myeloma. It's an immunotherapy that may help the immune system prevent tumor growth and spread. The study includes monitoring through lab biomarker analysis to see how well it works.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, side effects of Isatuximab could include infusion reactions (like fever or chills), low blood counts leading to increased infection risks or bleeding problems, fatigue, nausea and potential allergic reactions due to its nature as a monoclonal antibody.
