Use of Isatuximab, Dexamethasone and Lenalidomide in a Go-Slow Fashion for Ultra-Frail Patients With Multiple Myeloma: A Phase 2 Multicenter Study
University of Utah
Summary
Historically, the frailest patients with multiple myeloma are under-represented in clinical trials, and have very high rates of treatment discontinuation, and early treatment mortality. The investigators hypothesize that a go-slow gentle approach to starting treatment in such patients, starting with just Isatuximab and dexamethasone with a gentle introduction to lenalidomide third cycle onwards, may improve treatment adherence and quality of life. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a go-slow approach to treating MM in ultra-frail patients may improve the ability to adhere to treatment and improve quality of life.
