Category
A non-TAP antibody consisting of a type II transmembrane glycoprotein CD38-targeting antibody. The CD38 antigen is expressed in numerous haematological malignancies.
Multiple myeloma is the second most common haematological cancer. It is responsible for 15-20% of deaths from haematological cancer and about 2% of all deaths from cancer. The incidence in Europe is 4.5-6.0 per 100,000 per year with a mortality rate of 4.1 per 100,000 per year [1].

Trial or other data
Nov 19Results of PIII ICARIA-MM trial are published in The Lancet [11].
Jun 19Topline results for isatuximab in combination with standard of care were presented at ASCO conference. Tumour shrinkage was reported in 60% isatuximab-combination patients compared to 35% patients taking standard of care (pomalidomide and dexamethasone). Progression free survival has been increased from 6.5 months to 11.5 months. Treatment with isatuximab combination is thought to work faster, with a response seen after median 35 days compared to 58 days with standard of care alone [8].
Feb 19Positive topline data announced from PIII ICARIA-MM trial (n=307) of weekly i.v. isatuximab 10mg/kg for 4 weeks, then every other week for 28-day cycles in combination with std doses of pomalidomide and dexamethasone (standard of care [SOC}) for the duration of treatment. Compared with standard of care alone, isatuximab met the primary endpoint of prolonging progression free survival (PFS) in pts treated with isatuximab plus SOC vs. SOC alone. [7]
Dec 17In the PIII ICARIA-MM trial (NCT02990338), collection of PFS data now expected to complete Dec 20 [5].
Apr 17In the PIII ICARIA-MM trial (NCT02990338), collection of PFS data expected to complete May 18 [3].
Apr 17Sanofi initiates the PIII ICARIA-MM trial of isatuximab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone against pomalidomide and dexamethasone, in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Progression-free survival will be the primary endpoint and overall response rate and overall survival will be the secondary endpoint of the study. The randomised, open label trial will enrol approximately 300 patients around the world [2].

Trial or other data
May 22Latest results from the PIII IKEMA trial evaluating isatuximab in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) demonstrated a median progression free survival (mPFS) of 35.7 months (Hazard Ratio [HR] 0.58; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 25.8 to 44.0; n=179), compared to 19.2 months in patients treated with Kd alone (95% CI: 15.8 to 25.1; n=123), as evaluated by an Independent Review Committee [14]
Jun 20Interim results of PIII IKEMA trial presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Virtual Congress. Isatuximab added to carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Sarclisa combination therapy) reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 47% (hazard ratio 0.531, 99% CI 0.318-0.889, p=0.0007, n=179) compared to standard of care carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) in patients (n=123) with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). Sarclisa combination therapy compared to Kd alone showed a treatment benefit consistent across multiple subgroups. Median progression free survival (PFS) for Kd was 19.15 months. Median PFS for patients receiving Sarclisa combination therapy had not been reached at the time of the pre-planned interim analysis [7].
May 20Interim analysis of PIII IKEMA trial in 302 patients with relapsed multiple myeloma across 69 centers spanning 16 countries found significantly prolonged progression-free survival compared to standard of care carfilzomib and dexamethasone alone [6].
Nov 19PIII IKEMA trial is no longer recruiting; collection of primary outcome data should complete Nov 20 [5].
Oct 17PIII IKEMA trial to demonstrate the benefit of isatuximab, carfilzomib and dexamethasone combination, compared with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, previously treated with one to three lines of therapy starts (NCT03275285). 300 patients will be recruited from sites around the world including in the US & EU (plus UK). Collection of primary outcome data (progression-free survival) is due to complete Aug 23 [2].
