Summary

This study will evaluate melflufen in combination with dexamethasone in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in whose disease is refractory to pomalidomide and/or an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. All patients in the study will be treated with melflufen on Day 1 and dexamethasone on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day cycle.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female, age 18 years or older
  • A prior diagnosis of multiple myeloma with documented disease progression
  • Measurable disease based on either of a) serum monoclonal protein by protein electrophoresis (SPEP), b) monoclonal protein in the urine on 24-hour urine electrophoresis (UPEP), and/or c) serum immunoglobulin free light chain combined with abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa to lambda free light chain ratio
  • A minimum of 2 prior lines of therapy including an IMiD and a PI and is refractory to pomalidomide and/or daratumumab

  • 12-lead ECG with QTc interval within defined limit
  • Acceptable laboratory results during screening and prior to first study drug administration of the following parameters: absolute neutrophil count (ANC), platelet count, hemoglobin, total bilirubin, aspartate transaminase (AST/SGOT) and alanine transaminase (ALT/SGPT), renal function based on estimated creatinine clearance
  • Must have, or accept to have, an acceptable central catheter for infusion of melflufen

Exclusion Criteria

  • Primary refractory disease
  • Other malignancy diagnosed or requiring treatment within the defined period with specific exceptions
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding females
  • Serious psychiatric illness, active alcoholism, or drug addiction that may hinder or confuse compliance or follow-up evaluation
  • Known HIV or active hepatitis B or C viral infection
  • Concurrent symptomatic amyloidosis or plasma cell leukemia
  • POEMS syndrome [plasma cell dyscrasia with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein (M-protein) and skin changes]
  • Previous cytotoxic therapies, including cytotoxic investigational agents, for multiple myeloma within defined values prior to start of study treatment
  • Residual side effects to previous therapy over specific grade prior to initiation of therapy
  • Prior autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant within defined period of initiation of therapy
  • Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant with active graft-versus-host- disease (GVHD).
  • Prior major surgical procedure or radiation therapy within specified period of the first dose of study treatment (with defined exception).
