SARCLISA should be administered by a healthcare professional, in an environment where resuscitation facilities are available. Premedication 3 Prevention of infusion reaction Premedication should be used prior to SARCLISA infusion with the following medicinal products to reduce the risk and severity of infusion reactions: • Dexamethasone 40 mg oral or intravenous (or 20 mg oral or intravenous for patients ≥ 75 years of age): when administered in combination with isatuximab and pomalidomide, Dexamethasone 20 mg (intravenous on the days of isatuximab and/or carfilzomib infusions, and oral on the other days): when administered in combination with isatuximab and carfilzomib.
Dexamethasone 20 mg (intravenous on the days of isatuximab infusion, and oral on the other days): when administered in combination with isatuximab, bortezomib, and lenalidomide. • Montelukast 10 mg oral (or equivalent), at least at cycle 1.
• Acetaminophen 650 mg to 1 000 mg oral (or equivalent). , omeprazole, esomeprazole). , cetirizine, promethazine, dexchlorpheniramine]). The intravenous use is preferred for at least the first 4 infusions. The above recommended dose of dexamethasone (oral or intravenous) corresponds to the total dose to be administered only once before the infusion, as part of the premedication and the backbone treatment, before isatuximab and pomalidomide, before isatuximab and carfilzomib, and before isatuximab, bortezomib, and lenalidomide administration.
The recommended premedication agents should be administered 15-60 minutes prior to starting a SARCLISA infusion. Patients who do not experience an infusion reaction upon their first 4 administrations of SARCLISA may have their need for subsequent premedication reconsidered.

Posology The recommended dose of SARCLISA is 10 mg/kg body weight administered as an intravenous infusion in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Isa-Pd) or in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Isa-Kd), or in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (Isa-VRd).
