Brief summary

A MULTICENTER PHASE 1/2B STUDY OF THE BRUTON'S TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITOR, IBRUTINIB (PCI-32765), IN COMBINATION WITH CARFILZOMIB (KYPROLIS™) IN SUBJECTS WITH RELAPSED OR RELAPSED AND REFRACTORY MULTIPLE MYELOMA

Detailed description

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is an enzyme that is present in hematopoietic cells other than T cells and is necessary for downstream signal transduction from various hematopoietic receptors including the B cell receptor as well as some Fc, chemokine, and adhesion receptors, and is crucial for both B cell development and osteoclastogenesis. Although down-regulated in normal plasma cells, Btk is highly expressed in the malignant cells from many myeloma patients and some cell lines. PCI-32765 is a potent and specific inhibitor of Btk currently in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. The current study is designed and intended to determine the safety and efficacy of PCI-32765 in combination with carfilzomib (Kyprolis™) with and without dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

Serum free light chain (SFLC): involved FLC ≥10 mg/dL (≥100 mg/L) AND abnormal kappa to lambda serum free light chain ratio * Relapsed or relapsed and refractory MM after receiving at least 2 previous therapies, including an immunomodulator and bortezomib and had either no response or documented disease progression (according to IMWG criteria) to the most recent treatment regimen * Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function * ECOG performance status of 0-2 Inclusion Criteria for Phase 2 Sub-study Cohort: * Must meet all inclusion criteria defined in main study and in addition the following criteria must be met: * Subject must have received a regimen containing carfilzomib in combination with dexamethasone as their most recent line of therapy and have: 1. Achieved less than a partial response (\<PR) following at least 4 cycles and are without evidence of progression disease (PD). OR 2. Disease progression following an initial confirmed response of MR or better to the combination (according to IMWG response criteria).

Exclusion criteria
