Multicenter, Open-label, Single-arm, Phase 1b/2 Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Combination Treatment With Pomalidomide, Dexamethasone, and Carfilzomib (PdC) in Subjects With Relapsed and Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of carfilzomib when administered in
combination with fixed dosing pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed and
relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

II. To determine the efficacy of the combination regimen at the MTD as measured by partial
response (PR) response rate defined as per International Myeloma Working Group (IMW)
criteria.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the best stringent complete response (sCR)/CR/nodular complete response
(nCR) and >= very good partial response (VGPR) rates.

II. To estimate the time on study (TOS), duration of response (DOR), time to progression
(TTP), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) distributions.

III. To further define the toxicity at the MTD.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To perform an analysis of a subset of patients who are refractory to either pomalidomide
or carfilzomib or lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVD) combination.

II. To evaluate the status of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patient who achieve sCR, CR
or nCR.

III. To evaluate prognostic markers and markers of response to pomalidomide, dexamethasone,
and carfilzomib (PdC) in patients refractory to lenalidomide by analyzing pre-treatment
clinical covariates and pre-treatment plasma cell profiles by proteomics and gene expression
profiling (GEP).

OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study of carfilzomib followed by phase II.

Patients receive carfilzomib intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and
16, pomalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21, and dexamethasone PO or IV on
days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for at least 8 courses in the absence
of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving stable disease may
continue to receive treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 28 days and then every 3
months for up to 2 years.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Relapsed and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma requiring systemic therapy

- All patients must have failed 1+ prior treatment, one of which must include
lenalidomide therapy and have been determined to be refractory to it

- Refractory to lenalidomide will be defined as a history of progression on or
within 60 days of completion of a regimen of a minimum of 2 cycles containing
full or maximally tolerated dose of lenalidomide

- Progressing on lenalidomide maintenance will be allowed provided that the trial
of at least 2 months of lenalidomide at 25 mg or maximum tolerated dose was
given to meet the lenalidomide refractory status

- In addition to lenalidomide refractory, patients refractory to (1) pomalidomide
(2) carfilzomib, or (3) RVD are permitted limited to separate cohorts enrollment

- Measurable disease, as indicated by one or more of the following:

- Serum M-protein >= 0.5 g/dL

- Urine M-protein >= 200 mg/24 hours

- If serum protein electrophoresis is felt to be unreliable for routine M-protein
measurement, then quantitative immunoglobulin levels are acceptable

- Life expectancy of more than 3 months

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2

- Bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2.5 times ULN

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.0 x 10^9/L

- Hemoglobin >= 8 g/dL

- Platelet count >= 75 x 10^9/L; subjects may receive red blood cells (RBC)
transfusions or platelet transfusions, if clinically indicated in accordance with
institutional guidelines; however, screening platelet count should be independent of
platelet transfusions for at least 2 weeks

- Calculated or measured creatinine clearance of >= 30 mL/minute

- Written informed consent in accordance with federal, local, and institutional
guidelines

- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine
pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25mIU/mL within 10-14 days and again
within 24 hours prior to starting course 1 of pomalidomide and must either commit to
continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of
birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE
SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking pomalidomide; FCBP must also
agree to ongoing pregnancy testing; men must agree to use a latex condom during
sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy; all patients
must be counseled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risks
of fetal exposure

- Subjects must agree to adhere to all study requirements, visit schedule, outpatient
treatment, required concomitant medications, and laboratory monitoring

Exclusion Criteria:

- Non-secretory or hyposecretory multiple myeloma, defined as < 0.5 g/dL M-protein in
serum, < 200 mg/24 hr urine M-protein, or disease only measured by serum free light
chain

- Patients for whom there is the prospect of stem cell transplantation in the next 6
months in the treatment plan are excluded (including patients for whom the PdC
regimen is being considered as pre-transplant cytoreduction)

- POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and
skin changes)

- Plasma cell leukemia

- Waldenström's macroglobulinemia or immunoglobulin M (IgM) myeloma

- Radiotherapy to multiple sites or immunotherapy within 4 weeks before start of
