    Hi all.
    This is an ask for anyone that has undergone treatment with this drug.
    I am probably going to be having it v soon as 5th line treatment. I believe it’s quite new and was wondering if anyone out there has had it and if so what their experience was like with it.

    Thanks
    Daz

    Hi Dazz
    I am on the Radar XV trial. I am high risk so on that pathway. SCT did not give full remission but it did help.
    I was then put on maintenance treatment of 10mg lenalidomide for 21 days and a week off and isatixamub via a drip.
    I was given this weekly for 12 weeks then reduced to fortnightly. In November this was reduced again to monthly.
    My bloods have remained stable and myeloma markers have also been stable. My back gives me gyp but that’s a separate issue.
    I had no significant symptoms other than
    The day after treatment I get a bad headache
    I sometimes get flushes- bit like the menopause days!
    I do have a day- usually 2nd after treatment where I am like a rag doll.
    All of the above have been easy to cope with and worth it.
    Now, on monthly there was a slight increase in symptoms but the rate of the infusion had been increased. My team adjusted it and so far so good. Not having to travel to hospital so frequently has been great- can plan a wee bit further ahead.
    Everyone is different but I hope some of this helps.
