Isatuximab Plus Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone Versus Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone in Relapsed Multiple Myeloma Patients with Renal Impairment: Ikema Subgroup Analysis

Introduction: Renal impairment (RI) is a common feature in multiple myeloma (MM) and an adverse predictor of survival. Anti-myeloma treatments that can also improve renal function in patients (pts) with MM are required. Isatuximab (Isa), a monoclonal CD38 antibody, is approved in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (d), in the United States, the European Union, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, and Japan for the treatment of adult pts with relapsed/refractory MM who have received at least two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. IKEMA (NCT03275285) was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, Phase 3 study that demonstrated the benefit of adding Isa to carfilzomib (K) plus d vs Kd in pts with relapsed MM. This subgroup analysis of IKEMA examined efficacy, renal response, and safety in pts with RI.
