The purpose of this study is to see whether Isatuximab can help improve kidney function of participants with MGRS. Isatuximab is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma, but it is not approved by the FDA to treat MGRS. This means that the use of isatuximab in this study is considered 'investigational'.
Monoclonal gammopathy is a common disorder but only a small fraction of patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) develop renal disease and the reason for abnormal deposition of immunoglobulin in renal parenchyma remains unclear in these disorders. The proposed research will be conducted as a part of clinical trial which intends to prospectively evaluate the effect of anti-plasma cell therapy on renal outcomes in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS). The study specifically intends to sequence the immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes to determine any abnormalities that could lead to production of a misfolded immunoglobulin thus leading to deposition in renal parenchyma.

Isatuximab in IV form (10mg/kg q weekly x 4 doses followed by 10mg/kg q 2 weeks) for a total of 6 month duration. Doses should be initiated at 175 mg/hour up to a maximum of 400 mg/hour. Isatuximab (SAR) is monoclonal antibody (mAb).
