Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose for the Combination of Pomalidomide, Bortezomib and Low-Dose Dexamethasone in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open Label, Dose-escalation Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose for the Combination of Pomalidomide (POM), Bortezomib (BTZ) and Low-Dose Dexamethasone (LDDEX) in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (MM)

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pomalidomide in combination with bortezomib and low-dose dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Detailed description

A 3 + 3 design will be utilized to determine the MTD for POM + IV BTZ + LD-DEX combination treatment in a 21-day treatment cycle. DLT will be assessed to determine MTD during the first treatment cycle. Once the MTD is determined or the maximum planned dose (MPD) is reached without reaching MTD for POM + IV BTZ + LD-DEX, a cohort of 6 additional subjects will be treated at this MTD/MPD level to further confirm the safety and assess preliminary efficacy. An additional cohort of subjects will be enrolled to explore the safety for the combination of POM + BTZ + LD-DEX when using SQ BTZ. Subject in this cohort will receive POM + BTZ + LD-DEX at the MTD/MPD level per the MTD determination part of the study, except, the BTZ will be administered subcutaneously (SQ) instead of intravenously (IV). In, Protocol Amendment #4, the number of subject enrolled to be enrolled into the exploratory SQ BTZ cohort was increased from 6 to 12.

Interventions

DRUGPomalidomide

Pomalidomide 1, 2, 3, or 4 mg will be taken orally on Days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle

DRUGBortezomib

Bortezomib 1 or 1.3 mg/m2 will be administered intravenously or subcutaneously on Days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of 21 days for cycles 1 -8 and on days 1, 8 of 21 days for cycle 9 and onward until disease progression

DRUGDexamethasone

Dexamethasone 20 mg/day \[≤ 75 years old\] or 10 mg/day \[\> 75 years old\] will be taken orally on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 of 21 days for cycles 1-8 and on days 1, 2, 8, 9 of 21 days for cycles 9 and onward until disease progression

Inclusion criteria

1. Must be ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form. 2. Subjects must have documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma and have measurable disease (serum M-protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL or urine M-protein ≥ 200 mg/24 hours). 3. Subjects must have had at least 1 but no greater than 4 prior anti-myeloma therapies. 4. Subjects must have received at least 2 consecutive cycles of prior treatment with lenalidomide and must be refractory to their last lenalidomide-containing regimen (either as a single agent or in combination). 5. Subjects must have received at least 2 consecutive cycles of prior treatment with a proteasome inhibitor-containing regimen, but must not be refractory to bortezomib (either as a single agent or in combination). 6. Subjects must have documented progression during or after their last anti-myeloma therapy. 7. Subjects must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2.
