Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study is a phase 2 investigation focusing on a treatment for multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. The study is specifically designed for newly diagnosed patients who also have severe renal impairment, a condition where the kidneys are not working properly. The main goal is to understand if the drug Isatuximab, when combined with other medications like Bortezomib, Cyclophosphamide, and Dexamethasone (VCd), can improve kidney function in these patients. This research is important as it aims to find a treatment approach that not only addresses multiple myeloma but also improves kidney function, potentially enhancing the quality of life for patients dealing with both conditions. During this study, participants will first undergo an induction phase involving six 28-day cycles of treatment with Isatuximab and VCd. Following this, they will enter a maintenance phase where they will receive Isatuximab and Lenalidomide until the disease progresses, they experience unacceptable side effects, or they choose to withdraw. The study's primary outcome is to measure the renal response rate, which indicates how well the kidneys respond to the treatment. This is determined by the proportion of patients who achieve a partial or better renal response after six months of treatment. The study also aims to evaluate other factors such as overall response rate, progression-free survival, and safety of the treatment.

Prior or current systemic therapy or stem-cell transplantation for any plasma cell dyscrasia, with the exception of emergency use of a short course (the equivalent of dexamethasone 40 mg/day for a maximum of 4 days) of corticosteroids before treatment. 2. History of malignancy (other than MM) within three years before Cycle 1, Day 1 (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast, or other non-invasive lesion that in the opinion of the Investigator, with concurrence with the Sponsor's medical monitor, are considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence within three years). 3.

Patients with resolved infection (i.e., patients who are positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen \[anti-HBc\] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen \[anti-HBs\]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. Exception: Patients with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR. 3.

Ongoing ≥Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy. 9. Patient has had major surgery within two weeks before C1D1, or has not fully recovered from an earlier surgery, or has a surgery planned during the time the patient is expected to participate in the study or within two weeks after the last dose of study drug administration. Note: patients with planned surgical procedures to be conducted under local anesthesia may participate. Kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty are not considered major surgery. 10.

This includes one highly effective form of contraception (tubal ligation, intrauterine device, hormonal \[birth control pills, injections, hormonal patches, vaginal rings or implants\] or partner's vasectomy) and one additional effective contraceptive method (male latex or synthetic condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap). b. FCBP who are unwilling or unable to be tested for pregnancy: a) twice before study treatment initiation (one 10-14 days prior to start of study drug and one within 24 hours prior to start of study drug. Urine tests must have a sensitivity of ≥25 mIU/mL), b) weekly during 1st month of treatment and then prior to each treatment cycle administration or c) every two weeks in case of irregular menstrual cycles, and d) up to five months following the last dose of isatuximab or three months following the last dose of the rest of the study treatment, whichever is longer. 14.

Note 1: an FCBP is a female who: 1) has achieved menarche at some time point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). Note 2: True abstinence is acceptable when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
