A Phase 3 randomized, open label, multicenter study of isatuximab (SAR650984) in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma
Trial Description
Primary Objectives:
- Safety run-in Part: To confirm the recommended dose of isatuximab when combined with
lenalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with high-risk smoldering multiple
myeloma (SMM)
- Randomized Phase 3 Part: To demonstrate the clinical benefit of isatuximab in
combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in the prolongation of
progression-free survival when compared to lenalidomide and dexamethasone in
subjects with high-risk SMM
Secondary Objectives:
Safety run-in Part:
- To assess overall response rate (ORR)
- To assess duration of response (DOR)
- To assess minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity in participants achieving very
good partial response (VGPR) or complete response (CR)
- To assess time to diagnostic (SLiM CRAB) progression or death
- To assess time to first-line treatment for multiple myeloma (MM)
- To assess the potential immunogenicity of isatuximab
- Impact of abnormal chromosomal subtype on participant outcome
Randomized Phase 3 Part:
Key Secondary Objectives:
To compare between the arms
- MRD negativity
- Sustained MRD negativity
- Second progression-free survival (PFS2)
- Overall survival
Other Secondary Objectives:
To evaluate in both arms
- CR rate
- ORR
- DOR
- Time to diagnostic (SLiM CRAB) progression
- Time to biochemical progression
- Time to first-line treatment for MM
- Impact of abnormal chromosomal subtype on participant outcome
- Safety and tolerability
- Pharmacokinetics (PK)
- Potential of isatuximab immunogenicity
- Clinical outcome assessments (COAs)

criteria or Myeloma Defining Events (SLiM CRAB) detailed below (attributable to the
participants SMM involvement):
- Increased calcium levels: Corrected serum calcium >1 mg/dL above the ULN or >11
mg/dL

mL/min/1.73 m² (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] Formula) or serum
creatinine >2 mg/dL
- Anemia (hemoglobin 2 g/dL below lower limit of normal or <10 g/dL or both)
transfusion support or concurrent treatment with erythropoietin stimulating
agents is not permitted
- ≥ 1 bone lytic lesion
- BMPCs ≥60%
- Serum involved/uninvolved FLC ratio ≥100 and an involved FLC ≥100mg/L
- Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) or positron emission
tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with more than 1 bone focal lesion (≥5
mm in diameter by MRI)
- Primary systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of
undetermined significance (MGUS), standard risk smoldering myeloma, soft tissue
plasmacytoma, symptomatic myeloma
- Uncontrolled infection within 28 days prior to randomization in Phase 3 or first
study intervention administration in safety run-in
- Clinically significant cardiac or vascular disease within 3 months prior to
randomization, e.g. Myocardial Infarction; Unstable Angina; Coronary (e.g. Coronary
Artery Bypass Graft, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) or peripheral artery
revascularization, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction <40%, Heart Failure NYHA
III-IV, Stroke, Transient Ischemic Attack, Pulmonary Embolism, other thromboembolic
event, cardiac arrhythmia (Grade 3 or higher by NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0)
- Known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related illness or known human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease requiring antiviral treatment or active
hepatitis A (defined as positive hepatitis A antigen or positive IgM). HIV serology
at screening will be tested for German participants and any other country where
required as per local regulations and serology hepatitis B and C at screening will
be tested for all participants
- Uncontrolled or active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection: Patients with positive
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or HBV Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Of note:
- Patient can be eligible if anti-HBc Immunoglobulin G (IgG) positive (with or without
positive anti-HBs) but HBsAg and HBV DNA are negative. If anti-HBV therapy in
relation with prior infection was started before initiation of IMP, the anti-HBV
therapy and monitoring should continue throughout the study treatment period.
- Patients with negative HBsAg and positive HBV DNA observed during screening period
will be evaluated by a specialist for start of anti-viral treatment: study treatment
could be proposed if HBV DNA becomes negative and all the other study criteria are
still met.
- Active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection: positive HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) and
negative anti-HCV
Of note:
- Patients with antiviral therapy for HCV started before initiation of IMP and
positive HCV antibodies are eligible. The antiviral therapy for HCV should continue
throughout the treatment period until seroconversion.
- Patients with positive anti-HCV and undetectable HCV RNA without antiviral therapy
for HCV are eligible
- Malabsorption syndrome or any condition that can significantly impact the absorption
of lenalidomide
- Any of the following within 3 months prior to randomization (or first study
intervention administration in safety run-in cohort): treatment resistant peptic
ulcer disease, erosive esophagitis or gastritis, infectious or inflammatory bowel
disease, diverticulitis, pulmonary embolism, or other uncontrolled thromboembolic
event

cohort)
- Prior exposure to approved or investigational treatments for SMM or multiple myeloma
(MM) (including but not limited to conventional chemotherapies, immunomodulatory
imid drugs, or Proteasome inhibitors); concurrent use of bisphosphonates or receptor
activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) inhibitor denosumab is not
permitted; however, prior bisphosphonates or once-a-year intravenous bisphosphonate
given for the treatment of osteoporosis is permitted
- Ongoing treatment with corticosteroids with a dose >10 mg prednisone or equivalent
