Females of childbearing potential (FCBP): a female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months).
\* The two methods of birth control used may be selected from the following categories, but the two methods cannot be selected from any one category: barrier method: i.e., condom (male or female) or diaphragm with spermicide; hormonal: i.e., contraceptive pill, patch; intrauterine device (IUD); vasectomy; or tubal ligation.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria are not eligible for enrollment:
1. Prior exposure to Isatuximab (or other anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody)
2. Prior treatment for Multiple Myeloma (MM) with the exception of corticosteroids not exceeding a total dose specified below:
3. Subjects who have received steroids within 2 weeks prior to starting study treatment or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy. Concomitant therapy medications that include corticosteroids are allowed if subject receive ≤10 mg of prednisone per day, or equivalent, as indicated for other medical conditions, or up to 100 mg of hydrocortisone as pre-medication for administration of certain medications or blood products prior to enrolment in this study.
4. Prior history of malignancies, other than MM, unless the subject has been free of the disease for 3 years or longer. Exceptions include the following:
1. Basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
2. Carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast
3. Adenocarcinoma of the prostate (TNM stage of T1 a or T1 b)
5. Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions (i.e. uncontrolled diabetes, active or uncontrolled infection, acute diffuse pulmonary disease, pericardial disease, uncontrolled thyroid dysfunction or uncontrolled severe arterial hypertension) including abnormal laboratory values, that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
6. History of or current uncontrolled cardiovascular disease including:
1. Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or known congestive heart failure Class III/IV (Appendix 5) within the preceding 12 months
2. Transient ischemic attack within the preceding 3 months, pulmonary embolism within the preceding 2 months.
3. Any of the following: sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, Torsades de Pointes, cardiac arrest, Mobitz II second degree heart block or third-degree heart block; known presence of dilated, hypertrophic, or restrictive cardiomyopathy.
4. QTc prolongation as confirmed by ECG assessment at screening (QTc \>470 milliseconds).
5. Poorly controlled severe arterial hypertension.
7. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant while enrolled in this study, or within 90 days after the last dose of study medications. Male subject who plans to father a child while enrolled in this study, within 90 days after the last dose of study medications.
8. Known HIV positivity or active infectious hepatitis B or C
9. Known allergies, hypersensitivity to mannitol, corticosteroids, monoclonal antibodies or human proteins, or their excipients (refer to the Isatuximab IB), or known sensitivity to mammalian-derived products, if not amenable to premedication with steroids, or H2 blockers that would prohibit further treatment with these agents.
10. Known CNS involvement, plasma cell leukemia or amyloidosis.
11. Subjects who are receiving any other investigational agent Any other condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, would contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance with clinical study procedures.
