Background: Isatuximab, an IgG-kappa (IgGκ) anti-cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) monoclonal antibody approved for use in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM), can potentially interfere with the visualization of endogenous monoclonal protein (M-protein) on standard immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) and lead to inaccurate classification of a patient's response to therapy. The Hydrashift 2/4 isatuximab IFE assay (Hydrashift isatuximab assay) removes isatuximab interference from IFE. Using samples from patients enrolled in clinical trials of isatuximab-based therapy for MM, we demonstrate how the Hydrashift isatuximab assay improves the ability to detect residual M-protein and offer recommendations for when the assay is most useful.
Methods: Samples from 141 patients with a variety of known M-protein isotypes were selected and analyzed by standard IFE and the Hydrashift isatuximab assay. A positive control containing isatuximab was run on every standard IFE and Hydrashift gel.
Results: The Hydrashift isatuximab assay reliably shifted the migration of isatuximab in patient samples. Standard IFE was adequate for determining 104 patients' M-protein status, and the Hydrashift isatuximab assay confirmed these results. In samples from 37 patients with a history of IgGκ MM and a single IgGκ band visible on standard IFE near the isatuximab migration site, the Hydrashift isatuximab assay was able to separate isatuximab from endogenous M-protein, identifying residual M-protein in 17 samples and preventing false-positive interpretations of standard IFE in 20 samples.
Conclusions: The Hydrashift isatuximab assay is most useful in patients with known IgGκ MM when a single IgGκ band appears near the isatuximab migration site on standard IFE during isatuximab-based therapy.

Background: Immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) is the standard method for confirming the presence of a monoclonal protein (M-protein) at multiple myeloma (MM) diagnosis. IFE is also essential at assessment of complete response (CR) and stringent CR during treatment. As the CR assessment is influenced by daratumumab and isatuximab, HYDRASHIFT assays were developed.

Objectives: This study evaluates the HYDRASHIFT assay's effectiveness in mitigating daratumumab interference on serum protein tests during multiple myeloma (MM) treatment, aiming to ensure an accurate assessment of treatment response.
Methods: We analyzed 113 serum samples from 68 MM patients undergoing daratumumab treatment, employing both standard IF and the HYDRASHIFT assay. The assay's precision was determined through intra-day and inter-day variability assessments, while its specificity was verified using serum samples devoid of daratumumab.

Objectives: Some therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, like daratumumab and elotuzumab, produce interfering monoclonal bands on serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE). Whether other common therapeutic antibodies also produce interference has not been systematically evaluated.
Design And Methods: SPEP/IFE from patients receiving isatuximab (48 patients), belantamab mafodotin (BM; 41), and denosumab (41) were retrospectively reviewed for therapeutic antibody interference.

Monoclonal gammopathies are characterized by the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulins, also known as M-proteins. Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (t-mAbs) can interfere in laboratory assays used to monitor the state of disease, such as serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) and immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE). To establish a correct interpretation of IFE, Target protein-Collision Immunofixation Electrophoresis Reflex Assay (T-CIERA) was developed to identify t-mAbs in IFE.
