Isatuximab, Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, and Limited Dexamethasone in Multiple Myeloma Treatment
Overview of the Study
This study explored the safety and effectiveness of isatuximab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and limited dexamethasone for older patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not eligible for stem cell transplants.
Study Details
Conducted between June 2021 and January 2023, the trial involved 51 participants (53% women, median age 77). Most patients remained on treatment, with 39 completing 18 cycles.
Results
- Complete Response: 37% of patients achieved a measurable improvement in their condition.
- Progression Rate: 35% of participants experienced disease progression or death.
- Adverse Events: Notable side effects included neutropenia (55%), infections (41%), and thrombocytopenia (22%).
Conclusion
The combination of these treatments was found to be both effective and safe for the target patient group. Notably, removing dexamethasone after two cycles could be beneficial moving forward.
