New combo aims to mop up hidden cancer cells after myeloma transplant

NCT ID NCT05690984

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of isatuximab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone can eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD) in multiple myeloma patients who still have detectable cancer cells after a stem cell transplant. About 30 adults will receive the drug combo for up to 12 cycles. The main goal is to see how many become MRD-negative, meaning no cancer cells are found by a sensitive genetic test.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

isatuximab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could help eliminate remaining cancer cells after transplant, potentially leading to longer remission for multiple myeloma patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The drugs can cause side effects like infections, fatigue, and blood clots.
