New cocktail of cancer drugs aims to outsmart relapsed myeloma
NCT ID NCT04643002
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This umbrella trial tests the drug isatuximab (Sarclisa) combined with several newer agents, with or without dexamethasone, in adults whose multiple myeloma has returned or stopped responding to at least two prior treatments. About 258 participants will be assigned to different substudies to find the safest and most effective combinations. The goal is to improve response rates and offer more options for this hard-to-treat blood cancer.
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) combined with dexamethasone, pomalidomide, belantamab mafodotin, or pegenzileukin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer new combination treatment options for people with multiple myeloma that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with small groups testing different drug combos. Many experimental combinations may not work better than existing ones, and side effects could be serious.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must be 18 years of age inclusive or older. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1. * Participants with relapsed or refractory MM who have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy for MM, including PIs and IMiDs (eg, Induction regimen with autologous stem cell transplant followed by maintenance is considered one line). * RRMM with measurable disease: * Serum M protein ≥0.5 g/dL measured using serum protein immunoelectrophoresis and/or * Urine M protein ≥200 mg/24 hours measured using urine protein immunoelectrophoresis and/or * Serum free light chain (sFLC) MM without measurable M protein in serum or urine per previous criteria (serum Ig free light chain ≥10 mg/dL and abnormal serum Ig kappa lambda free light chain ratio \<0.26 or \>1.65). * Men or woman or childbearing potential should agree to use contraception. * Substudy 01, 06: Anti-CD38 therapy naïve or prior exposure to such drugs with a wash out of at least 12 months after the last dose. "Exposure" is defined as at least 2 cycles of therapy. * Substudies 02, 03: Anti-CD38 therapy naïve or prior exposure to such drugs without being refractory but with a wash out of at least 6 months after the last dose. "Refractory" is defined as progressing within 60 days of last dose of anti-CD38 targeting therapy. * Substudy 04: Anti-CD38 and anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) therapy (if available) prior exposed participants with RRMM. For anti-CD38, "Exposure" is defined as at least 2 cycles of therapy. For anti-BCMA therapy if available, exposure is defined by at least 2 cycles of therapy. * Substudy 05: Participants with RRMM with at least 2 cycles of prior exposure to anti-CD38 therapy. For participants to whom BCMA targeted therapy is available (ie, approved in their region and can be reimbursed), at least 2 cycles of prior exposure to a BCMA targeted agent is mandatory. Exclusion Criteria: * Primary systemic amyloid light chain amyloidosis, plasma cell leukemia, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, or smoldering myeloma. * Uncontrolled infection within 14 days prior to first study intervention administration. * Clinically significant cardiac (including valvular) or vascular disease within 3 months prior to first study intervention administration., eg, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary (eg, coronary artery bypass graft, percutaneous coronary intervention) or peripheral artery revascularization, left ventricular ejection fraction \<40%, heart failure New York Heart Association Classes III and IV, stroke, transient ischemic attack, pulmonary embolism, other thromboembolic event, or cardiac arrhythmia (Grade 3 or higher by NCI CTCAE Version 5.0). * Known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related illness or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease requiring antiviral treatment or active hepatitis A. * Uncontrolled or active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. * Active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. * Any of the following within 3 months prior to first study intervention administration: treatment resistant peptic ulcer disease, erosive esophagitis or gastritis, infectious or inflammatory bowel disease. * Second malignancy other than basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma, unless they are successfully treated with curative intent for more than 3 years before first study intervention administration. * Any anti-MM drug treatment within 14 days before first study intervention administration, including dexamethasone. * Participants with a contraindication to treatment. * Vaccination with a live vaccine 4 weeks before the start of the study. * Seasonal flu and COVID-19 vaccines that do not contain live virus are permitted. * Hemoglobin \<8 g/dL. * Platelets \<50 × 10\^9/L. * Absolute neutrophil count \<1.0 × 10\^9/L. * Creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min/1.73m2. * Total bilirubin \>1.5 × ULN, except for known Gilbert syndrome in which direct bilirubin should be ≤2.5 × ULN. * Aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase \>3 × ULN. * Patients with grade 3 or 4 hypercalcemia. Substudy 01: -Malabsorption syndrome or any condition that can significantly impact the absorption of pomalidomide. Substudy 02: * History of resected/ablated basal or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or other local tumors, even if considered cured by local treatment. * Therapeutic doses of anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents within 7 days prior to the first dose of SAR439459. * Prothrombin time or INR \>1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). Substudy 03: * Current corneal epithelial disease except mild punctate keratopathy. * Patients who have received prior therapy with belantamab mafodotin. Substudy 04: * Central nervous system or leptomeningeal disease. * Medical history of seizure. * Participants currently receiving hepatically metabolized narrow therapeutic index drugs (eg, digoxin, warfarin) if cannot be closely monitored. * Active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs), except controlled by replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc). The following are not exclusionary: vitiligo, childhood asthma that has resolved, psoriasis that does not require systemic treatment. * Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT). Substudy 05: \- Participant unable to swallow tablets. Substudy 06: * History of active autoimmune disorders. * History of autoimmune hemolytic anemia or autoimmune. thrombocytopenia. * Active graft versus host disease (GVHD) or ongoing immunosuppression for GVHD. * Prior allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT). * Patient with chronic active EBV infection. * Patients with known history of HLH. * Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dL. * Prior therapy with any anti-CD47 or anti signal regulatory protein alpha agent. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
