Phase III ICARIA-MM trial of SAR 650984 meets primary endpoint in multiple myeloma.- Sanofi
The pivotal Phase III trial (known as ICARIA-MM) of SAR 650984 (isatuximab), from Sanofi, in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma met the primary endpoint of prolonging progression free survival in patients treated with isatuximab in combination with pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone versus pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone alone (standard of care). This is the first randomized Phase III trial to evaluate the benefit of adding a monoclonal antibody to pomalidomide and dexamethasone for treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Results will be submitted to an upcoming medical meeting and are anticipated to form the basis of regulatory submissions planned for later this year.
