ASCO 2021 | IKEMA: isatuximab, carfilzomib and dexamethasone in RRMM

Roman Hajek, MD, PhD, University Hospital Ostrava, Ostrava, Czech Republic, outlines the findings of the Phase III IKEMA trial (NCT03275285), which assessed the efficacy and safety of isatuximab, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. 302 patients with prior treatment were enrolled and treated with isatuximab, carfilzomib and dexamethasone significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared with carfilzomib and dexamethasone alone. A significant increase in minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity was additionally reported, as well as an acceptable safety profile. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2021 Virtual Meeting.
