Study on Eliminating Minimal Residual Disease After Transplant in Multiple Myeloma Patients
Sponsor: Medical College of Wisconsin
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05690984
This clinical trial is exploring a treatment to eliminate remaining cancer cells in the bone marrow of multiple myeloma patients after they have undergone a stem cell transplant. The study will use a combination of medications to see if it can effectively reduce these residual cancer cells.

Program Overview
This study is focused on patients with multiple myeloma who still have small amounts of cancer cells in their bone marrow after receiving a stem cell transplant. The trial will test a combination of three drugs—isatuximab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone—over a year to see if it can eliminate these remaining cancer cells. The main goal is to determine how effective this treatment is in achieving a negative result for minimal residual disease (MRD) in the bone marrow, as measured by a specific test called clonoSEQ®. The study will also look at how well patients tolerate the treatment and how it affects their cancer at a molecular level.
Description
Thirty-one patients will participate in this study at Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center. Participants will receive a combination of three drugs: isatuximab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (known as IsaRD) for 12 cycles, each lasting 28 days. The primary aim is to see if this treatment can reduce the presence of cancer cells in the bone marrow to a very low level, as measured by a test called clonoSEQ®. The study will also evaluate how well patients tolerate the treatment and its overall effectiveness in controlling the disease.
