IMS 2026 | Insights into premedication and infusion-related reactions with subcutaneous isatuximab in myeloma

Fredrik Schjesvold, MD, PhD, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway, discusses the potential to de-escalate premedication use with subcutaneous isatuximab, suggesting that it may not be necessary after the first few cycles, particularly with subcutaneous treatment. Dr Schjesvold highlights that a pooled analysis of isatuximab subcutaneous studies showed no increase in infusion-related reactions when premedication was stopped after four cycles, making it a safe and feasible approach. This interview took place at the 23rd International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting in Glasgow, UK.
