Patients with negative HBsAg and positive HBV DNA observed during screening period will be evaluated by a specialist for start of anti-viral treatment: study treatment could be proposed if HBV DNA becomes negative, and all the other study criteria are still met. Active HCV infection: positive HCV RNA and negative anti-HCV. Of note: Patients with antiviral therapy (Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs)) for HCV started before initiation of IMP and positive HCV antibodies are eligible.

HIV infection: Of note: In equivocal cases, participants whose viral load is negative may be eligible. HIV seropositive participants who are otherwise healthy and at low risk for AIDS related outcomes could be considered eligible. Potential eligibility for a specific HIV positive protocol candidate should be evaluated and discussed with the sponsor prior to screening, considering current and past CD4+ and T-cell counts, history (if any) of AIDS defining conditions (eg, opportunistic infections), status of HIV treatment and the potential for drug-drug interactions.\n-2.\tSubject with ongoing Grade ≥ 3 peripheral sensory or motor neuropathy.\n-20.\tPatient with an active systemic infection or severe infections requiring parenteral administration of antibiotics\n-21.\tPatients with a gastrointestinal disease/disorder that may significantly impact the absorption of oral treatments.\n-22.\tPatients unable or unwilling to undergo antithrombic prophylaxis.\n-23.\tA person under guardianship, trusteeship, or deprived of freedom by a judicial or administrative decision.\n-3.\tSubject with history of GBS or GBS variants, or history of any Grade ≥3 peripheral motor polyneuropathy.\n-4.\tSubject with a current diagnosis of primary amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, smoldering multiple myeloma, or solitary plasmacytoma.\n-5.\tSubject has a diagnosis of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, or other conditions in which IgM M-protein is present in the absence of a clonal plasma cell infiltration with lytic bone lesions.\n-6.\tThe subject has had plasmapheresis within 14 days of initiating induction therapy.\n-7.\tSubject with clinical signs of meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma.\n-8.\tThe subject has plasma cell leukemia (by WHO criterion: ≥5% of plasma cells in the peripheral blood) or POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes).\n-9.\tSubject has any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease (e.g., active systemic infection, uncontrolled diabetes, acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease) that is likely to interfere with the study procedures or results, or that in the opinion of the investigator, would constitute a hazard for participating in this study."}
