Can a shot replace an IV for myeloma treatment?

NCT ID NCT04045795

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tested a drug combination (isatuximab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone) in 56 patients with multiple myeloma that had returned or stopped responding to prior treatments. The main goal was to see if giving isatuximab as a shot under the skin works as well as giving it through an IV, and to check safety and side effects. Researchers also looked at how well the treatment controlled the cancer and how patients felt about the shot method.
