Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Complete Response (CR + Stringent CR) Rate
Percentage of patients who achieved a complete response (CR) or stringent CR (sCR) per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Uniform Response criteria after 4 cycles of of Isatuximab, Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone (KRDI). IMWG criteria define a CR as "Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and \< 5% plasma cells in bone marrow" and an sCR as "CR plus normal FLC ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence."

Study Arms (3)
Induction
EXPERIMENTALAll participants will receive 4 cycles of induction therapy. Based on the recommendation of investigators, participants may or may not proceed to an autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) after cycles 1-4. Each cycle is 28 days in length (see dosing details below.) For patient undergoing upfront stem cell transplant (SCT): 4 cycles followed by stem cell collection, high-dose chemotherapy, and autologous SCT followed by 2 cycles (called consolidation). For patients deferring SCT following collection: 4 cycles followed by stem cell collection followed by 4 additional cycles. Carfilzomib: 56 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 8,15 Lenalidomide 25 mg orally (PO) on Days 1-21 Isatuximab: 10 mg/kg IV weekly for cycles 1-2 (days 1, 8, 15, 22), then every 2 weeks for cycles 3-6 (days 1 and 15), and monthly (day 1) thereafter Dexamethasone: 20 mg orally (PO) administered day of and day after carfilzomib and isatuximab (days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16; days 22 and 23 during cycles 1-2 only).
Maintenance-High Risk
EXPERIMENTALOnly patients that have achieved a partial response (PR) or better after induction therapy with or without stem cell transplant will continue on to maintenance therapy. The treatment participants will receive for maintenance will be based on the biological features (or cytogenetics) of participants myeloma and categorized into two groups: Standard-risk and High Risk. High Risk: subjects with high risk cytogenetics (deletion (del 17, translocation (t)(4:14), t(14;16), t(14;20), 1q duplications) will receive the following study treatment for up to two years (24 28-day cycles) until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity: Lenalidomide 10 mg orally (PO) Day 1-21 Carfilzomib 56 mg/m2 or last tolerated dose IV Days 1, 15 Isatuximab 10 mg/kg IV Day 1
Maintenance- Standard Risk
EXPERIMENTALOnly patients that have achieved a partial response (PR) or better after induction therapy with or without stem cell transplant will continue on to maintenance therapy. The treatment participants will receive for maintenance will be based on the biological features (or cytogenetics) of participants myeloma and categorized into two groups: Standard-risk and High Risk. Standard Risk: subjects without high risk cytogenetics (deletion (del 17, translocation (t)(4:14), t(14;16), t(14;20), 1q duplications) will receive the following study treatment for up to two years (24 28-day cycles) until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity: \- Lenalidomide 10 mg orally (PO) Day 1-21
Interventions
* Induction: protocol determine dose,via IV on 3 days per cycle up to 8 cycles, dependent on Upfront Stem Transplant or Deferring Stem Cell Transplant determination * Maintenance: protocol determine dose,via IV on 2 days per cycle- Maintenance Cycle until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity
* Induction: At predetermined dose, via IV up to 8 cycles, dependent on Upfront Stem Transplant or Deferring Stem Cell Transplant determination: \-- Cycles 1 and 2 once per week, Cycles 3-4 every other week, Cycles 5 and 6 every other week, Cycles 7 and 8 once every 4 weeks. * Maintenance: At predetermined dose, via IV, once per cycle, Maintenance Cycle until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity
\- Induction Predetermined Dose, oral, days 1-21 of up to 8 cycles, dependent on Upfront Stem Transplant or Deferring Stem Cell Transplant determination Maintenance: At predetermined dose, oral days 1-21 per cycle until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity
Induction: Predetermined dosage, oral, Predetermined times per cycle up to 8 cycles dependent on Upfront Stem Transplant or Deferring Stem Cell Transplant determination Maintenance: orally or IV will be administered as a preinfusion medication prior to isatuximab dosing
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subject must be at least 18 years of age.
- Subject must have documented multiple myeloma satisfying the CRAB criteria and measurable disease defined as:
- Monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow ≥10% or presence of a biopsy-proven Plasmacytoma.
- Measurable disease as defined by any of the following:
- IgG myeloma: Serum monoclonal paraprotein (M-protein) level ≥.5 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours; or
- IgA, IgM, or IgD multiple myeloma: serum M-protein level ≥0.25 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours; or
- Light chain multiple myeloma: Serum immunoglobulin free light chain ≥10 mg/dL and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda free light chain ratio.
- Sixty percent or greater clonal plasma cells on bone marrow examination.
- Serum involved / uninvolved free light chain ratio of 100 or greater, provided the absolute level of the involved free light chain is at least 100 mg/L (a patient's "involved" free light chain - either kappa or lambda - is the one that is above the normal reference range; the uninvolved light chain is the one that typically is in, or below, the normal range).
- More than one focal lesion on magnetic resonance image (MRI) that is at least 5 mm or greater in size.
- Newly diagnosed and considered candidate for high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant.

- Subject has known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (defined as a forced expiratory volume \[FEV\] in 1 second \<60% of predicted normal), persistent asthma, or a history of asthma within the last 2 years (intermittent asthma is allowed). Subjects with known or suspected COPD or asthma must have a FEV1 test during screening.
- Subject is known to be seropositive for history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known to have active hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
- Subject has any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease (eg, active systemic infection, uncontrolled diabetes, acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease) that is likely to interfere with the study procedures or results, or that in the opinion of the investigator, would constitute a hazard for participating in this study.
- Subject has clinically significant cardiac disease, including:
- myocardial infarction within 1 year before enrollment, or an unstable or uncontrolled disease/condition related to or affecting cardiac function (eg, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association Class III-IV;
