Brief summary

A Phase 2, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of venetoclax in combination with carfilzomib-dexamethasone (Kd) in participants with relapsed or refractory MM and have received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy. Part 4 of this study is currently enrolling.

Interventions

DRUGCarfilzomib

Carfilzomib lyophilized administered intravenously as a 10 to 30 minute infusion in Cycles 1 and beyond within 30 minutes to 4 hours after dexamethasone dosing. Dose level 1 (K1) Cycle 1: 20 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 2, 27 mg/m2 on Days 8, 9, 15, and 16; Cycles 2 - 12: 27 mg/m2 on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16; Cycles 13 - 18: 27 mg/m2 on Days 1, 2, 15, and 16; Cycles 19 and beyond, for participants that have not previously transitioned to monotherapy: 27 mg/m2 on Days 1, 2, 15, and 16. Dose Level K2: Cycle 1: 20 mg/m2 on Day 1; 70 mg/m2 on Days 8 and 15 Cycles 2 - onward: 70 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8, and 15. Dose Level K3: Cycle 1: 20 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 2; 56 mg/m2 on Days 8, 9, 15, and 16. Cycles 2 - onward: 56 mg/m2 on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16.

DRUGVenetoclax

Venetoclax tablet administered orally once daily during Cycles 1 - onward. Venetoclax dose level 1 (Ven1) 400 mg once daily, Ven2 800 mg once daily.

DRUGDexamethasone

Dexamethasone tablet administered orally during Cycles 1 - onward. Dexamethasone dose level 1 (Dex1) 40 mg once weekly, Dex2 40 mg once weekly, Dex3 20 mg twice weekly.
