Summary
The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness
(good and bad effects) of a combination of three different drugs, pomalidomide, pegylated
liposomal doxorubicin, and dexamethasone when used to treat relapsed (the disease came back)
or refractory (the disease did not respond to past treatment) multiple myeloma. Different
dosages (amount of study drug) of pomalidomide are first being tested to determine if there
are any side effects or risks associated with combining this study drug with the other two
listed. Once the optimal dose is decided on, the study will change its focus to determining
the effectiveness of the study drug in this combination.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of Pomalidomide, Dexamethasone and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin for Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Study design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: MTD of PomalidomideOverall Response Rate
Secondary outcome: Number of Patients with Adverse EventsTime to Progression Progression-free Survival Time to First Response Duration of Response Overall Survival
Detailed description:
This is a phase 1/2, multicenter, open label and nonrandomized study to evaluate the
efficacy and safety of pomalidomide at daily dosages of 2, 3 or 4 mg in combination with
intravenous (IV) dexamethasone at 40 mg/dose and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) at 5
mg/m2/dose for subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The study consists
of a screening period, followed by up to eight 28 day open label treatment cycles, a final
assessment to occur 28 days after the end of the last treatment, and a follow-up period.
Subjects eligible for this study will receive treatment with study drug for a maximum of
eight 28 day treatment cycles. Subjects are to be treated to a maximum response plus 2
additional cycles (no more than 8 cycles will be allowed) or complete 8 cycles of therapy
without disease progression.
Pomalidomide, dexamethasone and PLD will be administered on the appropriate cycle days as
shown below.
Cohort 1 Pomalidomide* - 2 mg, Dexamethasone** - 40 mg, PLD** - 5 mg/m2
Cohort 2 Pomalidomide* - 3 mg, Dexamethasone** - 40 mg, PLD** - 5 mg/m2
Cohort 3 Pomalidomide* - 4 mg, Dexamethasone** - 40 mg, PLD** - 5 mg/m2
* PO Days 1-21
** IV Days 1, 4, 8 and 11
In all cohorts, if an unacceptable dose limiting toxicities (DLT) is not seen in any of the
3 subjects during the first cycle of any dose level, dose escalation will continue. All
subjects in a cohort must complete a minimum of 28 days or a full cycle, whichever is
longer, without a DLT before enrollment to the next cohort can begin. If a DLT is
identified in 1 subject at any dose level during the first treatment cycle, an additional 3
subjects will be recruited to this dose level. A maximum of 6 subjects may be enrolled in
each cohort. If an unacceptable DLT is observed in 2 subjects at any dose level, no further
subjects will be recruited to this dose level. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be
declared as the highest dose level at which fewer than 33% of subjects experienced an
unacceptable DLT. If pomalidomide at 4 mg is reached and fewer than 33% of subjects
experience an unacceptable DLT, 4 mg will be accepted as the putative MTD. Once the MTD is
established, further enrollment will continue to expand that dose cohort until the total
sample size of 40 subjects is reached for the entire study. During the phase 2 portion of
this study, subjects enrolled will have relapsed/refractory MM resistant to lenalidomide as
demonstrated by progressive disease while on lenalidomide or that has relapsed within 8
weeks of the last dose of lenalidomide.
Eligibility
Minimum age: 18 Years.

Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of MM based on standard criteria (Durie 1986)
- Currently has MM with measurable disease, defined as:
- a monoclonal immunoglobulin spike on serum electrophoresis of at least 0. 5 g/dL

- for patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels, an abnormal
free light chain ratio (normal value: 0. 26 - 1. 65)
- Currently has progressive MM that has relapsed or is refractory, defined as:
- For the phase 1: Relapsed following stabilization or a response to at least one
anti-myeloma regimen or refractory defined as progressed while receiving an
anti-myeloma treatment
- For the phase 2: Refractory to lenalidomide as demonstrated by progressive
disease while on lenalidomide or that relapsed within 8 weeks of the last dose
of lenalidomide either as a single agent or in combination.
- Prior treatment with four days or less of a total of 400 mg of prednisone (or an
equivalent potency of another steroid) for MM will not be considered a regimen
- Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
- ECOG performance status of 2 or greater at study entry
- Life-expectancy of greater than 3 months
- Lab tests within study ranges at study entry:
- Absolute neutrophil count > 1. 5 x 109/L
- Platelet count > 75 x 109/L
- Hemoglobin > 8 g/dL
- Calculated or measured creatinine clearance > 30 mL/minute
- Total bilirubin < 1. 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) < 2 x ULN
- Serum potassium within the normal range
- Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test.
