Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trial

Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Summary

The study will investigate the effects of adding carfilzomib to the combination of pomalidomide and dexamethasone in sequential dose escalation cohorts in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This portion of the study is complete.

This study will also investigate the effects of adding daratumumab to the combination of carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

Full Description

Patients receive carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in 28 days treatment cycles. Study treatment continues for as long a their myeloma does not worsen and they do not have unacceptable side effects. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for up to 2 years.
