About this study
Official title: A Phase 2, Multicenter, Multi-cohort, Open-label Study of Pomalidomide in Combination With Low-dose Dexamethasone or Pomalidomide in Combination With Low-dose Dexamethasone and Daratumumab in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma Following Lenalidomide Based Therapy in the First or Second Line Setting.
This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination of pomalidomide (POM) and low-dose dexamethasone (LD-Dex) (Cohort A) or the combination of pomalidomide (POM) , daratumumab (DARA) and low-dose dexamethasone (LD-Dex) (Cohort B) in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received a first or second line treatment of lenalidomide-based therapy.
This trial will test the hypothesis for Cohort A that the proportion of patients will have an Overall Response Rate (ORR) of > 30 % to reveal that Pomalidomide is efficacious in pretreated patients who are refractory to lenalidomide.

This trial will test the hypothesis for Cohort B that the proportion of patients will have an Overall Response Rate (ORR) of > 70 % to reveal that POM+DARA+LD-Dex is efficacious in pretreated patients who are refractory to lenalidomide.
This trial will test the hypothesis for Cohort C that the proportion of patients will have an Overall Response Rate (ORR) of >60% to reveal that POM+DARA+LD-Dex is efficacious in pretreated patients who are refractory to lenalidomide. This treatment will be in only Japanese patients.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
ORR per Modified International Myeloma Working Group (mIMWG) Criteria is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve best overall response of Complete Response (CR), Very Good Partial Response (VGPR), or Partial Response (PR).
CR=Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and ≤ 5% plasma cells in bone marrow VGPR=Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or 90% or greater reduction in serum M-protein plus urine Mprotein level < 100 mg per 24 hours PR=≥ 50% reduction of serum M-Protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to < 200 mg per 24 hours
Measured: From first dose until disease progression or end of treatment whichever occurs first (Up to 130 months)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from the first dose to the first documentation of disease progression according to modified International Myeloma Working Group (mIMWG) criteria or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Disease Progression=Increase or reappearance of monoclonal protein in serum or urine meeting mIMWG progression thresholds; Increase in bone marrow plasma cell percentage consistent with disease progression; Development of new or worsening lytic bone lesions; Progressive or newly enlarging extramedullary plasmacytomas. Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates.
Measured: From first dose until the first documented disease progression, or death whichever occurs first (Up to 130 months)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from start of treatment until the time of death from any cause. If no death is recorded the subject will be censored at the time the subject was last known to be alive. Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates
Measured: From first dose until death due to any cause (Up to 130 months)
Duration of Response (DoR)
DoR is defined as thr time from the initial documented response (partial response or better) to the first confirmed progressive disease or until death from any cause. Participants without documented progression will be censored at the time of their last response assessment.
CR=Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and ≤ 5% plasma cells in bone marrow VGPR=Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or 90% or greater reduction in serum M-protein plus urine Mprotein level < 100 mg per 24 hours PR=≥ 50% reduction of serum M-Protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to < 200 mg per 24 hours. Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates
Measured: From first dose until the first documented disease progression, or death whichever occurs first (Up to 130 months)
Time to Response (TTR)
TTR is defined as the time from the start of treatment to the first documented response (Partial Response, Very Good Partial Response or Complete Response) based on according to modified International Myeloma Working Group (mIMWG) criteria.
CR=Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and ≤ 5% plasma cells in bone marrow VGPR=Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or 90% or greater reduction in serum M-protein plus urine Mprotein level < 100 mg per 24 hours PR=≥ 50% reduction of serum M-Protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to < 200 mg per 24 hours. Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates
Measured: From first dose until the first documented response (Up to 130 months)
Time to Progression (TTP)
TTP is defined as the time from start of treatment until Progressive Disease (as determined by the site investigator according to modified International Myeloma Working Group (mIMWG) criteria). Participants not experiencing a documented progression will be censored at the time of their last response assessment.
Disease Progression=Increase or reappearance of monoclonal protein in serum or urine meeting mIMWG progression thresholds; Increase in bone marrow plasma cell percentage consistent with disease progression; Development of new or worsening lytic bone lesions; Progressive or newly enlarging extramedullary plasmacytomas. Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates
Measured: From first dose until the first documented disease progression whichever occurs first (Up to 130 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition occurring in a clinical investigation participant after signing of informed consent, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (such as an abnormal laboratory test result), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study intervention.
Measured: From first dose until 28 days post last dose (Up to 120 months)
