Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for safety and effectiveness in treating multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people up to 75 years old with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who need treatment and are eligible for stem cell transplant. They must have measurable disease, acceptable blood counts, organ function within certain limits, and agree to follow specific safety programs. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those unwilling to use contraception, or anyone treated for another cancer in the last 3 years cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests if isatuximab combined with standard drugs (lenalidomide, bortezomib injection, dexamethasone) is safe and effective for treating new cases of multiple myeloma. Participants will receive this combination therapy before potentially undergoing a stem cell transplant.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to medication components; increased risk of infections; blood clots; nerve damage that can cause pain or numbness; heart problems like irregular heartbeat or heart failure; high blood sugar levels from steroids; and digestive issues.

Group I: Isa-RVDExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
The main study consists of 4 phases a) 28-day screening phase; b) an induction phase inclusive of two 42-day induction treatment cycles: Isatuximab (IV), Bortezomib (SQ). Lenalidomide (PO), Dexamethasone; c) Followed by stem cell mobilization (at the discretion of the Principal Investigator \[PI\]);d) Participants will proceed with either autologous stem cell transplant or two additional induction cycles. - Induction will be followed by a maintenance phase that continues until disease progression.
