Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Elotuzumab Combined With Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Patients With Multiple Myeloma and Various Levels of Renal Impairment: Results of a Phase Ib Study

Conclusion The results of the present study support the use of elotuzumab for the treatment of patients with MM and renal dysfunction without dose adjustment. Micro-Abstract Renal impairment is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), and more treatment options are needed. The pharmacokinetics of elotuzumab, a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody, combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, is not significantly different between patients with MM with and without renal impairment, suggesting that elotuzumab might be administered without dose adjustment for renal function.
