New drug combo aims to wipe out hidden myeloma cells after transplant

NCT ID NCT05344833

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, isatuximab and lenalidomide, can clear remaining cancer cells in multiple myeloma patients who still have minimal residual disease (MRD) after an autologous stem cell transplant. About 50 adults will receive the drugs as maintenance therapy for up to 39 cycles. The main goal is to see how many patients become MRD-negative at one year, which could mean a lower chance of relapse.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

isatuximab and lenalidomide

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a maintenance therapy that helps eliminate remaining cancer cells after transplant, potentially delaying relapse in multiple myeloma.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase (phase 2) trial with only 50 participants. The combination may cause side effects like blood clots or infections, and it's not yet known if it will improve survival or lead to long-term disease control.
