Can a cancer drug reboot the immune system after a stem cell transplant?
NCT ID NCT05346809
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding isatuximab to standard stem cell transplant procedures can help the immune system better fight multiple myeloma and certain lymphomas. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard transplant care alone or isatuximab plus standard care. The study measures changes in immune cell counts and tracks side effects to see if the drug improves recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- isatuximab (Sarclisa) given intravenously alongside standard transplant procedures
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to help the immune system fight blood cancers more effectively after a stem cell transplant.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 8 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Isatuximab can cause infusion reactions and other side effects.
