Background and 
Rationale 
Melflufen is a peptidase-potentiated alkylator. Melflufen is lipophilic and 
can thereby traverse the cell membrane passively and relatively freely.  
Once inside the cell, melflufen is cleaved by peptidases, which are over-
represented in the cancer cells.  Due to its lipophilicity and peptidase-
dependent distribution profile, a strong increase of alkylator is achieved in 
cancer cells, without a corresponding increase in other cells (which 
determines the side effect profile (Gullbo et al. 2003c, Wickström et al. 
2010).  Consequently, melflufen has a different bio distribution and 
bioavailability profile compared to other alkylators.  Melphalan is the most 
potent existing alkylator for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Cancer 
cells receive around 50 times higher exposure of alkylators after exposure 
to melflufen compared to melphalan.  Via studies in animals and later 
clinical studies it has been established that this increase in exposure after 
treatment with melflufen does not lead to an increased number, or different 
types of, adverse effects.  However, the cytotoxic effect on cancer cells 
increases and new efficacy qualities arise, such as increased effect on 
multi-resistant cancer cells and substantial anti-angiogenic effects (Gullbo 
et al. 2004, Wickström et al. 2007, Chauhan et al. 2013). 
An assessment of data from clinical trial O-12-M1 in relapsed-refractory 
multiple myeloma (RRMM) was performed after the data base lock 
November 09, 2017. Of the 45 patients treated with at least 1 dose of 40 
mg melflufen in combination with weekly dexamethasone, 21 patients 
(47%) have reported a best response of minimal response (MR) or better 
and 14 patients (31%) have reported partial response (PR) or better.  These 
45 patients had a median of 4 prior lines of therapy, including 
immunomodulatory drugs (IMiD)s, proteasome inhibitors (PI)s and 
alkylators.   The median progression free survival (PFS) was 5.7 months 
at the time of data-cut based on 41 events in 45 patients with ≥ 1 cycle.  
Median number of cycles completed was 5.0 (1 – 14).  The safety profile 
of melflufen suggested by preclinical studies is supported by clinical data 
from 45 patients with solid tumors and from a total of 75 patients with 
RRMM in the completed Phase 1/2a clinical trial O-12-M1 (58 patients 
dosed at the MTD of 40 mg of melflufen and 17 patients dosed at other 
doses in Phase 1 part of the trial).  Taken together, clinical and preclinical 
data support that melflufen provides peptidase potentiated alkylating 
metabolites to tumor cells such as MM and thereby exerts a higher anti-

tumor activity compared with equimolar administration of melphalan but 
with a similar safety profile.  
In non-clinical in vitro studies, the combination of melflufen with 
bortezomib or dexamethasone triggered synergistic anti–multiple 
myeloma activity, evidenced by a significant decrease in viability of 
MM.1S cells. Importantly, a similar synergism was observed between 
melflufen and bortezomib or dexamethasone in melphalan-resistant LR5 
multiple myeloma cells. Although definitive evidence of decreased 
toxicity of combination therapy awaits results of clinical trials, the synergy 
observed in vitro may allow for use of lower doses and decreased toxicity 
(Chauhan et al. 2013). 
A pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction between melflufen and 
bortezomib is unlikely to occur.  Melflufen is very rapidly distributed out 
of systemic circulation and metabolized to melphalan by peptidases and 
esterases. Hence, renal and hepatic elimination of melflufen and binding 
to drug metabolic enzymes is likely to be negligible. For melphalan the 
package insert states: Co-administration of melphalan-prednisone 
increased the exposure of bortezomib by 17% in 21 patients.  However, 
this increase is unlikely to be clinically relevant. 
The combination of melphalan, bortezomib and prednisone (VMP) is an 
established combination treatment in MM, and is part of the IMWG 
recommendations (Palumbo et al. 2014) for newly diagnosed patients who 
are not eligible for high dose therapy and stem cell transplant, as well as 
for patients with relapsed disease. 
A Phase 3 trial, with bortezomib-melphalan-prednisone-thalidomide 
followed by maintenance treatment with bortezomib-thalidomide 
evaluated a once weekly bortezomib dosing schedule and found no 
difference in efficacy, reduced peripheral neuropathy and reduced 
discontinuation due to this adverse event (Bringhen et al. 2010).  
Daratumumab is a ﬁrst-in-class, human immunoglobulin G1 kappa 
(IgG1k) mAb that binds malignant cells expressing CD38 with high 
afﬁnity and induces tumor cell death through several immune-mediated 
mechanisms. Daratumumab was initially studied in monotherapy setting 
in study GEN501 (Lokhorst et al. 2014, Usmani et al. 2016) and in the 
SIRIUS study (Lonial et al. 2016, Usmani et al. 2016). The combined 
results showed an overall response rate of 31% of daratumumab in a 
heavily pretreated population (Usmani et al. 2016). Some of the responses 
were deep (4.7% of the patients had a CR or better) and durable (median 
duration of response [PR or better] was 7.6 month). Daratumumab has also 
been studied in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone 
(Dimopoulos et al, 2016), or bortezomib and dexamethasone (Palumbo 
2016), for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have 
received at least one prior therapy. These studies resulted in approval for 
daratumumab in these combinations. These studies reported that the 
addition of daratumumab to these therapies improved response rates but 
did not increase the toxicity of the backbone therapy other than 
daratumumab related infusion reactions, including when combined with 
the alkylating agent melphalan. Study MMY3007/Alcyone study is 
presently ongoing comparing daratumumab+VMP vs VMP. 
Although the incorporation of novel agents such as PIs and IMiDs,

including retreatment, sequential and combination therapy approaches, has 
significantly improved outcomes in addition to autologous stem cell 
transplant (ASCT) (for those that are eligible), myeloma is not yet curable 
and additional treatment options are needed. Given the promising efficacy 
and unique mechanism, melflufen represents a reasonable option for 
evaluation in triple drug combinations.  
Study Design 
This is an open-label, Phase 1/2a, multicenter study which will enroll 
patients with relapsed or relapsed-refractory MM to combination regimens 
of melflufen with currently approved agents. The currently planned 
combinations include: 
 
Regimen A:  Melflufen plus bortezomib and dexamethasone  
 
Regimen B:  Melflufen plus daratumumab and dexamethasone 
 
Each combination will begin with a Phase 1 component which will follow 
the standard 3 + 3 Phase 1 design with 3 to 6 patients at each dose level, 
depending on dose limiting toxicity (DLT) observed in the first cycle of 
each patient. Patients who discontinue treatment during Cycle 1 due to 
reasons other than study drug related toxicity, and/or who are considered 
non-evaluable for DLT assessment, may be replaced at the discretion of 
the Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC). Patient recruitment will 
continue until a full cohort of safety evaluable patients has been achieved. 
A DSMC will evaluate all treated patients in each cohort prior to dose level 
adjustment decisions.  
Regimen A: Melflufen Plus Bortezomib and Dexamethasone 
Up to 3 dose levels of melflufen will be tested; i.v. melflufen at 30 mg and 
40 mg or 20 mg given on Day 1 of every 28-day cycle, in combination 
with subcutaneous (SQ) bortezomib at 1.3 mg/m2 twice weekly on Days 
1, 4, 8 and 11 of each 28-day cycle and a fixed dose of dexamethasone 20 
mg orally (p.o.) (12 mg for patients ≥ 75 years of age) on Days 1, 4, 8, 11 
and dexamethasone 40 mg (20 mg for patients ≥ 75 years of age) on Day 
15 and 22, of each 28-day cycle. Alternate dose levels or schedules of 
melflufen, bortezomib or dexamethasone may be explored based on 
tolerability following review and recommendation of the DSMC. 
Regimen B: Melflufen Plus Daratumumab and Dexamethasone 
Up to 3 dose levels of melflufen will be tested; i.v. melflufen at 30 mg and 
40 mg or 20 mg given on Day 1 of every 28-day cycle, in combination 
with daratumumab 16 mg/kg according to the following daratumumab 
schedule:

Cycle 1 infusion of daratumumab will be given on Day 2 of Cycle 1.  
Dexamethasone 40 mg p.o. (20 mg p.o. for patients ≥ 75 years of age) will 
be given weekly.  Due to the need for steroids to prevent infusion reactions 
with daratumumab, dexamethasone dosing may be split prior to 
daratumumab, and on the day after daratumumab on weeks when 
daratumumab is given.  Refer to the dose and schedule of dexamethasone 
below in section Study Treatment, Regimen B of the synopsis and in 
Section 6.4.2,  Table 6-2.    
Alternate dose levels or schedules of melflufen, daratumumab and 
dexamethasone may be explored based on tolerability following review 
and recommendation of the DSMC. 
All Dosing Regimens 
The primary objective is to determine the optimal dose of melflufen, up to 
40 mg, in combination with partner drugs (drugs defined in a Regimen) in 
triple combinations. Once the optimal dose of melflufen in combination 
with the partner therapy is determined, alternate doses and/or schedules 
may be explored following review and recommendation of the DSMC.  
The objective of all dose adjustments is to find the best benefit/risk 
balance. Dose modifications may be made for individual patients based on 
toxicity during therapy.  
Once the optimal dose, up to 40 mg of melflufen has been determined to 
be safe for a given Regimen in Phase 1, approximately additional 20 
efficacy evaluable patients will be enrolled in that Regimen and treated in 
a Phase 2a part of the study at the dose established in Phase 1. 
Patients will be assessed for response after each cycle according to the 
International Myeloma Working Group - uniform response criteria 
(IMWG-URC) (Rajkumar et al. 2011). Patients who have benefit from the 
therapy may continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable 
toxicity. Dose modifications may be implemented to manage toxicity 
according to the protocol guidelines. Patients who discontinue treatment 
with one of the drugs in the Regimen (excluding dexamethasone) may 
continue on the other, at the investigator’s discretion if in the best interest 
of the patient. Patients who discontinue melflufen and continue to be 
treated with the other drug in the Regimen will be followed for response, 
PFS and OS follow-up. 
Regimen Selection 
All patients meeting the required eligibility criteria may be eligible for one 
or both of the defined Regimens.  For patients that are eligible for both 
Regimens, the Regimen selection may be determined by the investigator, 
given cohort availability for the selected Regimen at the time of screening. 
Only one cohort per patient will be reserved at a given time. If the patient 
fails screening for the reserved Regimen cohort, enrollment in a non-
reserved Regimen cohort will be based on availability.  Patients may be re-
screened if appropriate. Both Regimens may enroll simultaneously to an 
available cohort.   
During Phase 2a, enrollment based on number of prior therapies and/or 
refractory status may be further explored to optimize the benefit/risk 
balance as recommended by the DSMC.

Cycle 1 for patients < 75 years of age.  For patients ≥ 75 years of age, the 
Cycle 1, Day 1 dexamethasone 20 mg dose may be split between Day 1 
and Day 2 at the investigator’s discretion (e.g. dexamethasone 12 mg p.o. 
on Day 1 prior to melflufen and 8 mg p.o. on Day 2 prior to daratumumab) 
or dexamethasone may also be given i.v. with a split dose (e.g. 
dexamethasone 10 mg i.v. on Day 1 prior to melflufen and 10 mg i.v. on 
Day 2 prior to daratumumab).  No dexamethasone is required the day 
following daratumumab in Cycle 1.  However, additional steroids may be 
given as needed to prevent or treat hypersensitivity reactions at the 
investigator’s discretion and as per the SoC for the site.    
Phase 2 All Regimens 
Patients will be treated with the dose level of the combination regimen 
determined in Phase 1 for a given Regimen with the same schedule.  All 
patients will follow the same procedures for drug administration as in 
Phase 1. 
Dose Escalation 
Criteria 
All Regimens 
The first cohort of patients enrolled in the Phase 1 portion of each Regimen 
will receive dose level 1 (melflufen 30 mg).  A full safety evaluation will 
be conducted by a DSMC when the planned number of melflufen safety 
evaluable patients have completed the first cycle of combination therapy 
with DLT assessment. The optimal dose of melflufen in combination 
therapy will be defined as the highest of 20, 30 or 40 mg of melflufen that 
results in ≤ 1/6 patient with DLT during the first cycle of therapy. The 
minimum dose of melflufen is 20 mg. 
 
 
If no DLT is reported in the first three patients at a dose level, that 
dose level will be considered safe and three patients will be enrolled 
at the next dose level. 
 
If 1/3 patients in a cohort at a dose level has a DLT, the dose level will 
be expanded to obtain six evaluable patients. 
 
If 2/3 patients in a cohort at a dose level has a DLT, that dose level 
will not be considered safe and no further dose escalation will take 
place.   
 
If there are < 2 patients with a DLT among the expanded cohort of six 
evaluable patients a cohort of three patients will be enrolled in the 
next higher dose level. 
 
If there are 2 or more patients with a DLT among the expanded cohort 
of six evaluable patients, that dose level will not be considered safe 
and no further dose escalation will take place.   
 
If less than 6 patients have been treated in the next lower dose level, 
additional patients will be entered into this dose level until there are 6 
patients treated.  If ≤ 1 of these 6 patients encountered DLT, then this 
dose level will be taken forward to Phase 2a.  If 2 or more of the 6 
patients encounter DLT, a lower dose will be considered.   
NOTE: If a patient discontinues treatment during Cycle 1 for reasons other 
than study drug related toxicity and is considered non-evaluable for DLT 
assessment, the patient may be replaced at the discretion of the DSMC.   
Patients who discontinue treatment with any drug in the Regimen

evaluable patients at the optimal dose for each Regimen.  
Patients in Phase 1 who are not fully evaluable for assessment of DLT may 
be replaced and patients in Phase 2a who are not efficacy evaluable 
(received at least 2 doses of melflufen and ≥ 50% of the partner therapy 
(excluding dexamethasone) during Cycles 1 and 2 with appropriate 
assessments) may be replaced.

BACKGROUND 
1.1 
OVERVIEW OF MULTIPLE MYELOMA 
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of the differentiated plasma cells that affects the 
older patient with a median age at onset of 65 to 70 years and a slight male predominance.  
MM is the second most common hematologic malignancy and nearly 30,330 patients with 
myeloma are diagnosed in the United States in 2015 (SEER 2016).  
The disease is characterized by clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow and the 
production of excessive amounts of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (usually of the IgG or IgA 
type or free urinary light chain [paraprotein, M-protein or M-component]).  Patients with MM 
may experience significant decrement to quality of life, including bone pain, bone fractures, 
fatigue, anemia, infections, hypercalcemia, hyperviscosity of the blood and renal function 
compromise (including renal failure).  The disease course for MM varies with the disease stage 
at diagnosis, cytogenetic profile, as well as age and patient comorbidities.  The median survival 
is approximately 5 to 7 years with some significant variation in survival depending on host 
factors, tumor burden, biology and response to treatment (Kumar et al. 2008).  However, the 
disease remains ultimately fatal.   
There are currently 6 classes of approved drugs available for the treatment of MM, including 
steroids (prednisone and dexamethasone), immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) (thalidomide, 
lenalidomide and pomalidomide), proteasome inhibitors (PIs) (bortezomib, carfilzomib and 
ixazomib), histone deacetylase inhibitors (panobinostat), conventional chemotherapy 
(melphalan, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin), including high dose melphalan with autologous 
stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) and the most recent addition of monoclonal antibodies 
(elotuzumab and daratumumab). The selection of treatment in relapsed/refractory multiple 
myeloma (RRMM) is challenging.  The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) 
guidelines (NCCN 2017) and a recent overview published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings 
(Kumar et al. 2016) detail an array of single agent, doublet and triplet combination regimens 
that can be considered.  Patients for whom stem cells were cryopreserved early in the disease 
course, and who are transplant candidates, may benefit from ASCT as salvage therapy (Cavo 
et al. 2011).  In general, MM patients will receive an average of 4 to 8 different treatment 
regimens during their lifespan.   
Recent improvements in therapies have significantly increased the expected life span for these 
patients.  However, despite the availability of effective therapies, the optimal combinations 
and sequencing of these agents with other therapies and with one another is still unclear.  Only 
20 to 30% of the relapsed-refractory MM patients typically respond to any particular treatment 
and ultimately patients relapse from all available options.  Given the inevitable relapses seen 
in these patients, new approaches to therapy are clearly still needed.

OVERVIEW OF MELFLUFEN 
1.2.1 
Melflufen Description 
The chemical name for melflufen is 4-[Bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino]-L-phenylalanine-4-fluoro-
L-phenylalanine ethyl ester hydrochloride and the chemical structure is provided in Figure 1-
1.  The molecular weight 498.4 as free base and 534.9 as the HCl salt.

Figure 1-1:   Structure of Melflufen 
1.2.2 
Melflufen Scientific Rationale 
Melflufen is a peptidase-potentiated therapy designed for targeted delivery of alkylating 
moieties to tumor cells. In contrast to other alkylating agents that are hydrophilic, the 
lipophilicity of melflufen leads to rapid and extensive distribution into tissues and cells. Inside 
cells, melflufen may directly bind deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or is readily metabolized by 
intracellular peptidases into the well-known antitumor compound melphalan or by esterases 
into des-ethylmelflufen, which also has alkylating properties.  Due to the high activity of 
peptidases and esterases in human tumor cells, the formation of melflufen’s metabolites is 
rapid in these cells with continued inflow of more melflufen (Gullbo et al. 2003c, Wickström 
et al. 2010).  Since des-ethylmelflufen and melphalan are relatively hydrophilic, there is a 
possibility for intracellular trapping of these alkylators.  This can be explained by a more 
efficient transport of melflufen into these cells, an efficient conversion into other alkylating 
molecules (i.e. melphalan and des-ethylmelflufen) inside the cells and a less rapid 
disappearance of these molecules from the cells. 
The properties of melflufen are supported by clinical pharmacokinetic data.  Melflufen has a 
relatively low rate of hydrolysis in plasma according to in vitro studies.  After intravenous 
infusion, melflufen shows a very rapid disappearance from plasma with no signs of 
redistribution back to the plasma, indicating that a complete metabolism occurs predominantly 
outside the plasma compartment.  Following administration of melflufen, melphalan is found 
in plasma with a peak concentration at 5 to 10 minutes after the end of melflufen infusion 
(pharmacokinetics [PK] data from clinical trial O-12-M1).  The total melphalan plasma 
exposure assessed as Area Under the Curve (AUC) after melflufen administration is similar to 
historical data on exposure after melphalan administration (Nath et al. 2010).  However, the 
intracellular concentration in tumor cells could be considerably higher as discussed above.  The 
metabolite des-ethylmelflufen reaches only very low concentrations in plasma with peak 
concentrations coinciding with end of melflufen infusion followed by a short elimination half-
life.  
The addition of melflufen to panels of primary cultures of human tumor cells, including MM, 
results in 50- to 100-fold higher efficacy to that of melphalan (Wickström et al. 2008), which 
is explained by the 50-fold higher intracellular exposure as AUC of alkylating agents compared 
to that observed after an equimolar dose of melphalan (Chauhan et al. 2013).

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
Mechanistically-oriented studies have shown that melflufen-induced apoptosis is associated 
with (i) activation of caspases and poly ADP ribose polymerase cleavage; (ii) reactive oxygen 
species generation; (iii) mitochondrial dysfunction and release of cytochrome c; and (iv) 
induction of DNA damage (Chauhan et al. 2013, Ray et al. 2016).  Moreover, melflufen 
inhibits MM cell migration, tumor-associated angiogenesis and DNA repair.  Importantly, 
in vitro studies in MM cell lines resistant to dexamethasone, bortezomib and melphalan have 
shown cytotoxic activities of melflufen at concentrations similar to those observed in the 
parental, non-resistant cell lines.  Potent cytotoxic activity has also been demonstrated in 
primary MM cells from patients including those relapsing after multiple prior therapies with 
bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone.  These results suggest a different resistance 
mechanism for melflufen than for other agents used in MM.  In efficacy studies conducted in 
mice and rats carrying different human tumors, including MM, superior antitumor activity of 
melflufen over equimolar dosage of melphalan was observed at seemingly comparable toxicity 
(Gullbo et al. 2004, Wickström et al. 2007, Chauhan et al. 2013). 
The safety profile of melflufen suggested by preclinical studies is supported by clinical data 
from 45 patients with solid tumors (trial O-05-001) and from a total of 75 patients with RRMM 
in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial O-12-M1 (58 patients dosed at the maximum tolerated dose [MTD] 
of 40 mg of melflufen and 17 patients dosed at other doses in Phase 1 of the trial).  Taken 
together, clinical and preclinical data support that melflufen provides peptidase-potentiated 
delivery of alkylating moieties to tumor cells (such as MM cells) and thereby exerts a higher 
anti-tumor activity compared with equimolar administration of melphalan but with a seemingly 
similar safety profile.  The efficacy seems to be consistent across MM populations including 
patients who are double-refractory to IMiDs and PIs and refractory to alkylators. 
Please see the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) for additional information.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE 
1.3.1 
Clinical Experience in RRMM 
Melflufen was evaluated in combination with low dose dexamethasone, and as single agent, in 
a Phase 1/2a clinical trial O-12-M1 in RRMM.  Adult patients with documented RRMM with 
at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including an IMiD and a PI, and who demonstrated disease 
progression on or within 60 days of last therapy, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 
(ECOG) performance status ≤ 2, life expectancy of ≥ 6 months and preserved organ function 
were eligible to enter the study. Phase 1 followed the standard 3 + 3 Phase 1 design with 3 to 
6 patients per dose cohort, depending on dose limiting toxicity observed, at each dose level 
that was tested.  
The Phase 1 part of the clinical trial was completed in September 2014 
(Paba-Prada et al. 2014).  Based on data from 23 patients in four dose groups (15 mg, 25 mg, 
40 mg and 55 mg), a MTD was established as 40 mg of melflufen in combination with 40 mg 
dexamethasone weekly.  Following identification of the MTD, the Phase 2a part of the trial 
was initiated and all subsequently treated patients received a starting dose of 40 mg of 
melflufen.  The Phase 2 part of the clinical trial was completed in November 2017 including 
data from 45 patients treated with melflufen in combination with dexamethasone and 13 
patients treated with single agent melflufen.

Clinical Safety 
As of November 9 , 2017, 58 patients had received 280 doses of melflufen 40 mg.  The median 
number of completed cycles was 5.0 (Range 1 – 14). 
The most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) in trial O-12-M1 were 
hematological events, such as thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia.  This is not 
unexpected since hematological events are both common as a consequence of the disease of 
MM and of treatment with alkylators.  These events were assessed to be dose-related, 
reversible, monitorable and mechanism-driven. 
Treatment related Grade 3 and 4 AE’s were reported in 37 patients out of 45 patients (82%).  
Those related to melflufen and occurring in ≥ 5% of the patients are presented in Table 1-2.

Continuous review of safety data in the Phase 2a part of the study led and the DSMC to include 
an additional week to the cycle length (i.e. to 28 days) to allow further recovery of platelet and 
neutrophil count and potentially allow the patients to stay on treatment longer and achieve 
more benefit. 
Even though neutropenia and thrombocytopenia have been common in connection to melflufen 
treatment, few cases have been reported as serious adverse events (SAE)s as febrile 
neutropenia or bleeding (please see IB for details). 
Since both the disease of MM as well as treatment with alkylators may cause neutropenia and 
neutropenia may be connected with both pneumonia, sepsis or other infections, it is important 
to follow institutional or NCCN guidelines (NCCN 2017) for antimicrobial prophylaxis for 
multiple myeloma patients. 
Please refer to the current IB for further safety data on melflufen.

Continuous 12-lead Holter recordings from before start of infusion to 120 minutes after start 
of the 30-minute infusion have been obtained on Day 1 of treatment cycles in a subset of 
patients in Study O-12 M1 for general screening purposes. No patient in the study has 
developed absolute QTcF values that are associated with a meaningful increased risk of 
arrhythmias.  Please see IB for details.

Safety Summary 
The clinical trials results, to date, indicate that the safety profile for melflufen is similar to that 
for other alkylators, where thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia are the most common 
treatment-related AEs. The incidences of Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia 
after 40 mg doses of melflufen are comparable to the incidences observed in studies with low 
dose melphalan regimens in combination with high dose steroids (Richardson et al. 2010). 
Even though neutropenia and thrombocytopenia have been common in connection to melflufen 
treatment, few cases have been reported as SAEs as febrile neutropenia or bleeding (please see 
current IB for details).  There have been no reports of syncope, seizures, ventricular 
arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, flutter, torsade de pointes, or 
sudden deaths in the clinical trials.  The safety profile for melflufen is thus similar to that of 
other alkylators.  
Since both the disease of MM as well as treatment with alkylators may cause neutropenia and 
neutropenia may be connected with both pneumonia, sepsis or other infections, it is important 
to follow institutional or NCCN guidelines (NCCN 2017) for antimicrobial prophylaxis for 
multiple myeloma patients. 
1.4 
CLINICAL EFFICACY 
 The Phase 2 part of the clinical trial was completed in November 2017 including data from 45 
patients treated with melflufen in combination with dexamethasone and 13 patients treated 
with single agent melflufen. ORR among the 45 patients treated with 40 mg melflufen and 
dexamethasone was 31.1%, median DOR was 8.4 months based on 13 events in 14 patients 
(95% CI: 4.6-9.6), median PFS was 5.7 months based on 41 events in 45 patients (95% CI: 
3.7-9.2) and median OS was 20.7 months based on 23 events in 45 patients (95% CI: 11.8-∞).  
Please refer to the current IB for further details on clinical data on melflufen.  
1.4.1 
Clinical Pharmacokinetics 
In humans, melflufen is metabolized to des-ethyl-melflufen, melphalan and the non-alkylating 
para-fluoro-phenylalanin ethyl ester.  PK data for melflufen and melphalan are available from 
the completed clinical trial O-05-001 in patients with solid tumors and from 10 MM patients 
in the ongoing clinical trial O-12-M1.   
In clinical trial O-12-M1 in MM patients, PK data from 12 patients covering the dose range 
15 mg to 55 mg were available as of 30 November 2017.  In all patients, melflufen plasma 
concentration reached a peak before end of infusion and was eliminated with a half-life of 
1 to 5 minutes as measured from end of infusion.  Melphalan PK parameters were similar to 
those observed in clinical trial O-05-001.  Des-ethyl-melflufen reached only very low 
concentrations in plasma and was eliminated with a half-life of approximately 15 minutes.  
The combined results from the two clinical trials demonstrate that the PK of melflufen is 
characterized by low plasma concentrations and a very rapid disappearance from plasma after 
end of the intravenous infusion. The PK of melphalan after administration of melflufen is 
characterized by a rapid formation where plasma concentrations exceed those of melflufen 
within 15 minutes after start of melflufen infusion, and where peak plasma concentrations are 
lower and AUC similar compared with equimolar infusions of melphalan at a similar rate 
(Mougenot et al. 2004, Nath et al. 2010).  Peak plasma concentrations of melphalan appear 
with a delay by up to 10 minutes after the end of melflufen infusion.  The elimination phase of 
melphalan is similar after melflufen and melphalan infusions, according to published data for 
melphalan administration (Mougenot et al. 2004, Nath et al. 2010).

Overall, the observations suggest a mechanism where melflufen is rapidly and widely 
distributed to tissues (including any tumor cells present) outside of the blood compartment. 
Melphalan is predominately formed in these tissues and thereafter distributed back to plasma 
and eliminated primarily by spontaneous hydrolysis to non-alkylating metabolites and with a 
small contribution of direct renal elimination. There is no appreciable active metabolism of 
melphalan mediated by drug metabolic enzymes.  Please see IB for details. 
1.5 
OVERVIEW OF BORTEZOMIB 
Bortezomib is a PI that inhibits NFKB, induces caspase-8/9 mediated apoptosis, and disrupts 
IL-6 induced intracellular signaling pathways (Hideshima et al. 2003).  In a landmark Phase 3 
trial, bortezomib was superior to high dose dexamethasone in relapsed MM (Richardson et al. 
2005).  The agent has also been associated with promising results in patients with newly 
diagnosed disease.  In this setting the combination of bortezomib plus melphalan and 
prednisone was superior to melphalan and prednisone alone with respect to response, remission 
duration, and overall survival (San Miguel et al. 2008).  Bortezomib was approved by US FDA 
2003.   
In non-clinical in vitro studies, the combination of melflufen with bortezomib or 
dexamethasone triggered synergistic anti–multiple myeloma activity, evidenced by a 
significant decrease in viability of MM.1S cells.  Importantly, a similar synergism was 
observed between melflufen and bortezomib or dexamethasone in melphalan-resistant LR5 
multiple myeloma cells. The synergy observed in vitro may allow for use of lower doses and 
decreased toxicity (Chauhan et al. 2013). 
A pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction between melflufen and bortezomib is unlikely to 
occur. Melflufen is very rapidly distributed out of systemic circulation and metabolized to 
melphalan by peptidases and esterases. Hence, renal and hepatic elimination of melflufen and 
binding to drug metabolic enzymes is likely to be negligible.  For melphalan the package insert 
states: Co-administration of melphalan-prednisone increased the exposure of bortezomib by 
17% in 21 patients. However, this increase is unlikely to be clinically relevant. 
The combination of melphalan, bortezomib and prednisone (VMP) is an established 
combination treatment in MM, and is part of the International Myeloma Working Group 
(IMWG) recommendations (Palumbo et al. 2014) for newly diagnosed patients who are not 
eligible for high dose therapy and stem cell transplant, as well as for patients with relapsed 
disease. 
A Phase 3 trial, bortezomib-melphalan-prednisone-thalidomide followed by maintenance 
treatment with bortezomib-thalidomide evaluated a once weekly bortezomib dosing schedule 
and found no difference in efficacy, reduced peripheral neuropathy and reduced 
discontinuation due to this adverse event (Bringhen et al. 2010).    
Additional details regarding bortezomib can be found in the US prescribing information or EU 
Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).  
1.6 
OVERVIEW OF DARATUMUMAB 
Daratumumab is a ﬁrst-in-class, human immunoglobulin G1 kappa (IgG1k) (mAb) that binds 
malignant cells expressing CD38 with high afﬁnity and induces tumor cell death through 
several immune-mediated mechanisms of action, including complement-dependent 
cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated 
cytotoxicity, induction of apoptosis, and modulation of CD38 enzyme activities (De Weers et 
al. 2011, Lammerts van Bueren et al. 2014). Although normal lymphoid, myeloid, and some

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
nonhematopoietic cells or tissues express low levels of CD38, (Deaglio et al. 2001) myeloma 
cells overexpress the protein, (Lin et al. 2004, Santonocito et al. 2004) thus providing a clinical 
rationale or the protein as a therapeutic target in MM. In addition to these immune mediated 
killing mechanisms, daratumumab may also have an immunomodulatory role via T-cell 
activation and expansion as well as mitigation of immunosuppression in patients with MM 
(Krejcik et al. 2016).  
Daratumumab was initially studied in monotherapy setting in study GEN501 (Lokhorst et al. 
2015, Usmani et al. 2016) and in the SIRIUS study (Lonial et al. 2016, Usmani et al. 2016). 
The combined results showed an overall response rate of 31% of daratumumab in a heavily 
pretreated population (Usmani et al. 2016). Some of the responses were deep (4.7% of the 
patients had a CR or better) and durable (median duration of response [PR or better] was 7.6 
month). Daratumumab has also been studied in combination with lenalidomide and 
dexamethasone (Dimopoulos et al, 2016), or bortezomib and dexamethasone (Palumbo et al. 
2016), for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior 
therapy. These studies resulted in approval for daratumumab in these combinations. 
Daratumumab has been studied in several combination trials and is approved in combination 
with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of 
patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy (Dimopoulos et 
al, 2016, Palumbo et al. 2016). An additional Phase 1/2 study explored daratumumab in 
combination with other backbone regimens in patients with ND and RRMM included a 
combination of daratumumab plus bortezomib, dexamethasone and melphalan (Moreau et al. 
2015).  This study reported that the addition of daratumumab to these therapies improved 
response rates but did not increase the toxicity of the backbone therapy other than 
daratumumab related infusion reactions, including when combined with the alkylating agent 
melphalan.  Study MMY3007/Alcyone study is presently ongoing comparing daratumumab 
and VMP vs VMP.   
Daratumumab was approved by US FDA 2015. Additional details regarding daratumumab can 
be found in the US prescribing information or EU Summary of Product Characteristics 
(SmPC).  
As of 15 Nov 2018, daratumumab has been administered to approximately 4,407 patients in 
the setting of clinical trials, and an estimated world-wide post-marketing exposure of 34,316 
person-years. Hepatitis B (HBV) reactivation, including fatal cases, has been observed in 
association with daratumumab. Janssen determined HBV reactivation is an important 
identified risk and an adverse drug reaction associated with daratumumab. The overall 
frequency of HBV reactivation in daratumumab clinical trials, including serious and non-
serious reports, is uncommon (0.2%).  The protocol was updated to exclude patients with active 
hepatitis B or at risk for reactivation.

2.1 
STUDY RATIONALE 
Recent improvements in therapies have significantly increased the expected life span for MM 
patients.  However, despite the availability of effective therapies, the optimal combinations 
and sequencing of these agents with other therapies and with one another is still unclear.  Only 
20 to 30% of the relapsed-refractory MM patients typically respond to any particular treatment 
and ultimately patients relapse from all available options.  Given the inevitable relapses seen 
in these patients, new approaches to therapy are clearly still needed.

Melflufen has a different bio distribution and bioavailability profile compared to other 
alkylators.  Melphalan is the most potent existing alkylator for the treatment of multiple 
myeloma. Cancer cells receive approximately 50 times higher exposure of alkylators after 
exposure to melflufen compared to melphalan.  In the Phase 2a potion of protocol O-12-M1 
the median PFS was 5.1 months (95% confidence interval 3.7 to 8.5 months) based on 40 
events in 45 patients with available data.  Of the 34 heavily pretreated (median 4 lines of 
therapy) efficacy evaluable patients the overall response rate (ORR) was 41% and 62% 
reported a best response of minimal response (MR) or better.  Given the promising efficacy, 
melflufen represents a reasonable option for evaluation in triple drug combinations. 
2.2 
RATIONALE FOR THE SELECTED PATIENT POPULATION 
The proposed trial will be conducted in relapsed or RRMM patients who have received 1 to 4 
prior lines of therapy 
Many triple drug combinations include the use of IMiDs; however, not all patients are 
candidates for IMiD based therapy, such as those who are refractory, or with co-morbid 
conditions. Only 20 to 30% of the relapsed-refractory MM patients typically respond to any 
particular treatment and ultimately patients relapse from all available options.  Given the 
inevitable relapses seen in these patients, new approaches to therapy are clearly still needed.   
During Phase 2a, enrollment based on number of prior therapies and/or refractory status may 
be further explored to optimize the benefit/risk balance as recommended by the DSMC. 
2.3 
RATIONALE FOR DOSE SELECTION 
The dose and schedule of melflufen was established in the Phase 1/2 trial (O-12-M1) with 
melflufen in combination with weekly dexamethasone in RRMM patients as 40 mg on Day 1 
of a 28-day cycle.   The goal of this trial is to determine the optimal dose, up to 40 mg of 
melflufen, in triple combination regimens. In study O-12-M1 and in an ongoing trial (OP-106 
Horizon of melflufen and dexamethasone in pomalidomide- and/or daratumumab-refractory 
patients), hematologic toxicity is the most common adverse event (AE) reported, with 
thrombocytopenia being the most clinically important AE.  
Bortezomib is approved in the present US FDA label (09/2015) at 1.3 mg/m2 twice weekly 
with one week rest period in combination with melphalan and prednisone in 6-week cycles in 
previously untreated multiple myeloma patients for the first 4 cycles and once weekly beyond 
Cycle 4. In relapsed multiple myeloma, 1.3 mg/m2 bortezomib is administrated twice weekly 
for 2 weeks (Days 1, 4, 8, and 11) followed by 10-day rest period (Days 12-21).  For extended 
therapy of more than 8 cycles, bortezomib may be administered on a maintenance schedule of 
once every 28 days (Days 1, 8, 15, and 22) followed by a 13-day rest period (Days 23 to 35).  
No guidance is provided in the US FDA label for schedule adjustments in relapsed multiple 
myeloma patients when combined with other medications and for cycle lengths that are not 
multiples of 3 weeks. 
The Phase 1 part of the present study will explore the triple combination of melflufen, 
dexamethasone and bortezomib in a step-wise fashion. In the initial cohort, 30 mg melflufen 
(once every 4 weeks) will be given in combination with subcutaneous (SQ) bortezomib at 1.3 
mg/m2 twice weekly on Days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of each 28-day cycle and a fixed dose of 
dexamethasone 20 mg orally (p.o.)  (12 mg for patients ≥ 75 years of age) on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 
and 40 mg (20 mg for patients ≥ 75 years of age) on Days 15 and 22.  If the side effect profile 
is acceptable in the first cohort, the melflufen dose will be increased to 40 mg every 28 days 
with the other components of the triple combination being unchanged.

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
It is anticipated that the combination of melflufen with bortezomib and dexamethasone will 
also contribute to hematologic toxicity, thus the initial starting dose of melflufen will be 30 mg 
on Day 1 of each cycle with the goal to increase to 40 mg if feasible or to drop down to 20 mg 
if needed. The twice weekly dosing of bortezomib (Days 1, 4, 8 and 11), was selected based 
on the transient duration and differing mechanism of thrombocytopenia related to bortezomib 
compared to melflufen.  With this schedule, it may be possible to deliver the full anti-tumor 
effect of bortezomib to a patient by front loading the administration of this compound in each 
cycle while the transient and limited anti-thrombocyte count effect has passed before the full 
anti-tumor count effect from melflufen becomes apparent in most patients.  
The once weekly schedule of bortezomib has been shown to have similar antitumor efficacy 
combined with reduced peripheral neuropathy (Bringhen et al. 2010, Mateos et al, 2014). In 
the event that twice weekly bortezomib is not tolerable, once weekly dosing may be explored.   
Changes in the standard doses or schedule of the partner drug, may only be adjusted following 
review and recommendation by the DSMC.  Dose modifications may be made for individual 
patients based on toxicity during therapy.   
The toxicity profile of daratumumab is mainly related to infusion related reactions (Lonial et 
al. 2016).   A study conducted by Moreau and colleagues concluded that daratumumab added 
little additional toxicity to the combination therapies tested (Moreau et al. 2014). However, 
hematologic toxicity was noted in single agent studies (Lonial et al. 2016, Usmani et al. 2016) 
and increased rates of thrombocytopenia were noted in the combination of daratumumab with 
bortezomib and dexamethasone compared to bortezomib and dexamethasone without 
daratumumab, (Palumbo et al. 2016).  For this reason, the same dose levels of melflufen as 
proposed for the combination of melflufen with bortezomib will be implemented in the 
combination of melflufen with the approved dose of daratumumab with the 4-week dosing 
schedule.  The first dose of daratumumab will be administered on Day 2 of Cycle 1 due to 
prolonged infusion times if both melflufen and daratumumab were to be given on Day 1.

STUDY DESIGN 
4.1 
DESCRIPTION OF STUDY DESIGN 
This is an open-label, Phase 1/2a, multicenter study which will enroll patients with relapsed or 
RRMM to combination regimens of melflufen with currently approved agents. The currently 
planned combinations include: 
 Regimen A:  Melflufen plus bortezomib and dexamethasone  
 Regimen B:  Melflufen plus daratumumab and dexamethasone 
All patients meeting the required eligibility criteria may be eligible for one or both of the 
defined Regimens.  For patients that are eligible for both Regimens, the Regimen selection 
may be determined by the investigator, given cohort availability for the selected Regimen at 
the time of screening. Only one cohort per patient will be reserved at a given time. If the patient 
fails screening for the reserved Regimen cohort, enrollment in a non-reserved Regimen cohort 
will be based on availability.  Both regimens may enroll simultaneously to an available cohort.   
Each combination will begin with a Phase 1 component which will follow the standard 3 + 3 
Phase 1 design with 3 to 6 patients at each dose level, depending on dose limiting toxicity 
(DLT) observed in the first cycle of each patient. Patients who discontinue treatment during 
Cycle 1 for reasons other than study drug related toxicity and/or are non-evaluable for DLT 
assessment, may be replaced at the discretion of the DSMC.  
Patients who discontinue treatment with one drug in the Regimen (excluding dexamethasone) 
for any reason, may continue treatment with the other drug in the Regimen at the investigator 
discretion if in the patients’ best interest. Patients who discontinue melflufen and continue on 
treatment with the other dug in the Regimen will be followed for response, PFS and OS follow-
up. 
Regimen A: Melflufen plus Bortezomib and Dexamethasone 
Up to 3 dose levels will be tested; i.v. melflufen at 30 mg and 40 mg or 20 mg given on Day 1 
of every 28-day cycle, in combination with subcutaneous (SQ) bortezomib at 1.3 mg/m2 twice 
weekly on Days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of each 28-day cycle and a fixed dose of dexamethasone 20 mg 
orally (p.o.) on Days 1,  4,  8, and 11,  and 40 mg on Days 15 and 22. For patients ≥ 75 years 
of age, 12 mg will be given on Days 1, 4, 8 and 11 and 20 mg on Days 15 and 22.   
Alternate dose levels or schedules of melflufen, bortezomib or dexamethasone may be 
explored based on tolerability following review and recommendation by the DSMC.

Regimen B: Melflufen plus Daratumumab and Dexamethasone 
Up to 3 dose levels of melflufen will be tested; i.v. melflufen at 30 mg and 40 mg or 20 mg 
given on Day 1 of every 28-day cycle, in combination with daratumumab 16 mg/kg according 
to the following daratumumab schedule: in Table 4-1.

*Due to prolonged infusion time of the first dose of daratumumab, the Cycle 1 infusion of 
daratumumab will be given on Day 2 of Cycle 1.  
 
Dexamethasone 40 mg p.o. (20 mg p.o. for patients ≥ 75 years of age) will be given 
weekly.  Due to the need for steroids to prevent infusion reactions with daratumumab, 
dexamethasone dosing may be split prior to the daratumumab infusion, and the day after 
daratumumab on weeks when daratumumab is given.  Refer to the dose and schedule of 
dexamethasone in Table 6-2.    
Alternate dose levels or schedules of melflufen, daratumumab and dexamethasone may be 
explored based on tolerability following review and recommendation by the DSMC. 
All Dosing Regimens:   
Once the optimal dose of melflufen has been determined for each combination regimen in 
Phase 1, approximately 20 additional efficacy evaluable patients will be enrolled in each 
combination regimen and treated at the dose determined in the Phase 1 part of the study. 
Patients will be assessed for response after each cycle according to the IMWG-URC. Patients 
who have benefit from the therapy may continue treatment until disease progression or 
unacceptable toxicity or the patient/treating physician determines it is not in the patient’s best 
interest to continue.  Dose modifications may be implemented to manage toxicity according to 
the protocol guidelines in for each Regimen in Section 6.8.  
Patients who discontinue treatment with any drug in the Regimen (excluding dexamethasone) 
for any reason may continue treatment with the other drug in the Regimen at the investigator 
discretion if in the patients’ best interest. Patients who discontinue melflufen and continue 
treatment with the other drug in the Regimen will be followed for response, PFS and OS 
follow-up. 
A Schedule of Events for the study is outlined in Section 8, Table 8-1.

PATIENT POPULATION 
5.1 
PATIENT SCREENING 
Written informed consent must be obtained before any protocol-specific screening tests or 
procedures are performed.  Patients must meet all the entry criteria detailed in Section 5.2.1 
and Section 5.2.2.  After informed consent is obtained, the screening assessments will be 
performed as detailed in Section 8 of the protocol.  Table 8-1, Schedule of Events, lists all of 
the screening assessments including frequency and time lines of when assessments are to be 
performed.  
Assessments performed as part of the patient’s routine clinical evaluation and not specifically 
for this study need not be repeated after signed informed consent has been obtained provided 
the assessments fulfill the study requirements and are performed within the specified 
timeframe prior to enrollment.    
All patients meeting the required eligibility criteria may be eligible for one or both of the 
defined Regimens.  For patients that are eligible for both Regimens, the Regimen selection 
may be determined by the investigator, given cohort availability for the selected Regimen at 
the time of screening. Only one cohort per patient will be reserved at a given time. If the patient 
fails screening for the reserved Regimen cohort, but is eligible for enrollment in a non-reserved 
Regimen cohort, assignment of that cohort will be based on availability.  Patients may be re-
screened if appropriate. 
5.1.1 
Screening Failures 
Patients who sign an informed consent but fail to be enrolled for any reason, e.g. do not fulfill 
eligibility criteria below, will be considered screen failures.  Patients may be re-screened 
following all the same criteria in the event a screening evaluation changes.

Protocol No. OP-104 
 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
patient will be considered enrolled into the study and the site will be notified of the Regimen 
and cohort assignment for patients enrolled in Phase 1 or the established dose and schedule of 
the Regimen for patients enrolled in Phase 2a. Further details will be provided in the 
Investigator Site File (ISF) at each site. 
Patients that do not meet all the eligibility criteria will be considered screen failures and will 
not be enrolled. 
5.3.2 
Patient Numbering 
A unique patient number will be assigned at the time of signing of consent.   
5.3.3 
Replacement Policy  
Patients in Phase 1 who are not fully evaluable for assessment of DLT may be replaced and 
patients in Phase 2a who are not efficacy evaluable may be replaced.  Efficacy evaluable 
patients are those who receive at least 2 doses of melflufen and ≥ 50% of the partner therapy 
(excluding dexamethasone) during Cycles 1 and 2, had a baseline disease assessment, and had 
at least 1 post-baseline disease assessment ≥ 28 days after first dose.

STUDY TREATMENT 
Treatment may be given in an outpatient treatment setting in cycles.  Each cycle is 28 days. 
Pretreatment tests/procedures and timelines are detailed in Table 8-1, Schedule of Events.  All 
evaluations must be complete prior to enrollment and initiation of treatment.   
6.1 
REGIMEN A AND B: DOSE LEVEL SELECTION 
6.1.1 
Phase 1 
The first cohort of patients (3 - 6) enrolled in the Phase 1 portion of each Regimen will receive 
dose level 1.  A full safety evaluation will be conducted by the DSMC when the planned 
number of melflufen safety evaluable patients have completed the first cycle of combination 
therapy with DLT assessment. Subsequent patients will be enrolled in the dose level based on 
the dose escalation schema.  The optimal dose of melflufen in combination therapy will be 
defined as the highest dose of 20, 30 or 40 mg of melflufen that results in ≤ 1/6 patients with 
DLT during the first cycle of therapy (See Section 6.3).  The dose of melflufen can never be 
reduced to lower than 20 mg. Patients who discontinue treatment for reasons other than study 
drug related toxicity and/or are considered non-evaluable for DLT assessment may be replaced 
at the discretion of the DSMC.   
6.1.2 
Phase 2a 
Patients in Phase 2a will be enrolled in the optimal dose and schedule determined in Phase 1. 
 
6.2 
REGIMEN A AND B:  INITIATION OF THERAPY (CYCLE 1 DAY 1) 
 Prior to initiation of therapy, patients must continue to meet eligibility criteria 
including ECOG performance status of ≤ 2 and the Cycle 1 Day 1 laboratory results 
must also meet the entry criteria as follows: 
 ANC ≥ 1,000 cells/ mm3 (1.0 x 109/L) (Growth factors cannot be used within 10 days 
[14 days for pegfilgrastim] of initiation of therapy)

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
 Platelet count ≥ 75,000 cells/ mm3 (75 x 109/L) (without transfusion during the 
previous 10 days to initiation of therapy) 
 Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dl (RBC transfusions are permitted)  
 Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal, except patients diagnosed with Gilbert’s 
syndrome that have been reviewed and approved by the medical monitor 
 AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 3.0 x ULN 
 Renal function: Estimated glomerular filtration rate by Cockcroft-Gault formula ≥ 45 
mL/min (Appendix G) 
6.3 
REGIMEN A AND B:  DOSE ESCALATION SCHEMA 
 If no DLT is reported in the first three patients at a dose level, that dose level will be 
considered safe and three patients will be enrolled at the next dose level. 
 If 1/3 patients in a cohort at a dose level has a DLT, the dose level will be expanded to 
obtain six evaluable patients. 
 If 2/3 patients in a cohort at a dose level has a DLT, that dose level will not be 
considered safe and no further dose escalation will take place.   
 If there are < 2 patients with a DLT among the expanded cohort of six evaluable 
patients a cohort of three patients will be enrolled in the next higher dose level. 
 If there are 2 or more patients with a DLT among the expanded cohort of six evaluable 
patients, that dose level will not be considered safe and no further dose escalation will 
take place.   
If less than 6 patients have been treated in the next lower dose level, additional patients will be 
entered into this dose level until there are 6 patients treated.  If ≤ 1 of these 6 patients 
encountered DLT, then this dose level will be taken forward to Phase 2a.  If 2 or more of the 
6 patients encounter DLT, a lower dose will be considered.   
NOTE: If a patient discontinues therapy during Cycle 1 for reasons other than treatment related 
toxicity and is considered non-evaluable for DLT assessment, the patient may be replaced at 
the discretion of the DSMC.  
The 6 patients treated in Phase 1 with the dose taken forward to Phase 2a will be the first 6 
patients of the Phase 2a component of the study. 
Patients who discontinue treatment with any drug in the Regimen (excluding dexamethasone) 
for any reason may continue treatment with the other drug in the Regimen at the investigator 
discretion if in the patients’ best interest. Patients who discontinue melflufen and continue on 
treatment with the other drug in the Regimen will be followed for response, PFS and OS 
follow-up. 
Patients starting on 30 mg of melflufen in Phase 1, that did not experience a DLT in Cycle 1 
and did not required a dose reduction in any cycle may be considered for increase in the dose 
of melflufen to 40 mg, following consultation with the medical monitor and sponsor if in the 
best interest of the patient to optimize risk/benefit balance.  In addition, the 40 mg melflufen 
dose cohort must be completed and considered well tolerated.

*Oral dexamethasone may be substituted with i.v. dexamethasone at the investigators discretion, prior to 
daratumumab infusion only, if this is the standard of care of the site.   
**Due to prolonged infusion time of the first dose of daratumumab, the Cycle 1 infusion of daratumumab will be 
given on Day 2 of Cycle 1. Therefore, the dexamethasone dose of 20 mg will be given on Day 1 prior to melflufen 
and on Day 2 prior to the daratumumab administration in Cycle 1, for patients < 75 years of age.  For patients ≥ 
75 years of age, the Cycle 1, Day 1 dexamethasone 20 mg dose may be split between Day 1 and Day 2 at the 
investigators discretion (e.g dexamethasone 12 mg p.o. on Day 1 prior to melflufen and 8 mg p.o. on Day 2 prior 
to daratumumab) or dexamethasone may also be given i.v. with a split dose (e.g. dexamethasone 10 mg i.v. on 
Day 1 prior to melflufen and 10 mg i.v. on Day 2 prior to daratumumab).  No dexamethasone is required the day 
following daratumumab in Cycle 1.  However, additional steroids may be given as needed to prevent or treat 
hypersensitivity reactions at the investigators discretion and as per the SoC for the site.    See Section 6.5.2.3 for 
dexamethasone administration when drug is held or cycle delays.  
6.5 
STUDY DRUG ADMINISTRATION 
Refer to Section 9 for supply, storage, preparation and accountability of study drugs used in 
each Regimen. 
6.5.1 
Regimen A and B: Melflufen Administration 
Prophylactic treatment with anti-emetic drug(s) prior to melflufen administration is 
recommended. Subsequent anti-emetic drugs against delayed emesis should be administered 
at the discretion of the investigator. Concomitant medication shall be documented in the 
concomitant medication page in the electronic case report form (eCRF). 
On days when melflufen and bortezomib (Regimen A) or daratumumab (Regimen B) are 
scheduled on the same day melflufen should be administered first.  
The study treatment should be administered through a central catheter, which should be 
inserted according to standard local practice.  All patients must have an acceptable central 
catheter for infusion prior to the initiation of the first dose of melflufen.  (Port A Cath, PICC 
line or central venous catheter).   
 
Before infusion: 
 Document vital signs prior to start of infusion

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
 Prepare the central catheter by flushing with approximately 20 mL of the same type of 
solution (5% glucose or 0.9% saline) that is used for dilution of the melflufen in the 
250 mL bag.  
Infusion: 
 The melflufen should be administered as a 30-minute intravenous infusion 
 Record start and stop time for infusion 
After infusion: 
 Document vital signs at the end of the infusion 
 First flush the central catheter with approximately 20 mL of the same type of solution 
(5% glucose or 0.9% saline) that is used for dilution of the melflufen in the 250 mL 
bag. Then follow with additional flushing as per institutional guidelines if necessary. 
The planned and actual administered dose as well as the start and stop time for the infusion, 
should be documented in the source documents and on the appropriate eCRF page. Refer to 
Section 9 for melflufen supply, storage and accountability.  Refer to the Pharmacy Manual for 
details on melflufen preparation and administration.   
6.5.2 
Regimen A and B: Dexamethasone Administration 
6.5.2.1 
Regimen A  
Dexamethasone 20 mg (12 mg for patients ≥ 75 years of age) should be administered orally on 
the day of bortezomib on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11.  Dexamethasone 40 mg (20 mg for patients ≥ 
75 years of age) should be administered orally on Day 15 and 22. Dexamethasone is best 
administered prior to melflufen and prior to melflufen and bortezomib on days when both drugs 
are given on the same day (Day 1 of each cycle).  
6.5.2.2 
Regimen B 
Dexamethasone 40 mg p.o. (20 mg p.o. for patients ≥ 75 years of age) will be given weekly.  
Due to the need for steroids to prevent infusion reactions with daratumumab, dexamethasone 
dosing may be split to give a dose prior to daratumumab, and the day after daratumumab on 
weeks when daratumumab is given.  Refer to the dose and schedule of dexamethasone in Table 
6-2.   Oral dexamethasone may be substituted with i.v. dexamethasone, at the investigator’s 
discretion, prior to daratumumab infusion only, if this is the standard of care of the site.   
Due to prolonged infusion time of the first dose of daratumumab, the Cycle 1 infusion of 
daratumumab will be given on Day 2 of Cycle 1. Therefore, the dexamethasone dose will be 
given on Day 1 prior to melflufen and on Day 2 prior to the daratumumab administration in 
Cycle 1 for patients < 75 years of age.  For patients ≥ 75 years of age, the Cycle 1, Day 1 
dexamethasone 20 mg dose may be split between Day 1 and Day 2 at the investigators 
discretion (e.g dexamethasone 12 mg p.o. on Day 1 prior to melflufen and 8 mg p.o. on Day 2 
prior to daratumumab) or dexamethasone may also be given i.v. with a split dose (e.g. 
dexamethasone 10 mg i.v. on Day 1 prior to melflufen and 10 mg i.v. on Day 2 prior to 
daratumumab).  No dexamethasone is required the day following daratumumab in Cycle 1.  
However, additional steroids may be given as needed to prevent or treat hypersensitivity 
reactions at the investigator’s discretion and as per the SoC for the site.

Dexamethasone is best administered prior to melflufen and prior to melflufen and 
daratumumab on days when both drugs are given on the same day (Day 1 of each cycle 
following Cycle 1 as noted above). 
6.5.2.3 
Regimen A and B 
During cycles when daratumumab (Regimen B) is not administered each week (following 
week 9), dexamethasone 40 mg (20 mg for patients ≥ 75 years of age), should be administered 
p.o. weekly.  Resulting in the patient receiving weekly dexamethasone regardless of the 
bortezomib or daratumumab administration schedule.  Dexamethasone may be given if the 
partner drug is held or continued weekly during cycle delays, at the investigator’s discretion.  
6.5.3 
Regimen A: Bortezomib Administration 
The amount (in mg) of bortezomib to be administered will be determined based on body 
surface area (BSA).  The BSA is to be calculated based on body weight using the DuBois 
formula (Appendix J).  The dose should be calculated on Day 1 of the cycle, and should be 
recalculated at the start of the next cycle; the dose administered should remain the same 
throughout the cycle.  If a patient experiences a notable change in weight (i.e., loss or gain of 
5% body weight) within the cycle, as determined by an unscheduled weight assessment, then 
the patient’s dose should be recalculated at that time.  Bortezomib should not be administered 
to patients who have a known allergy to bortezomib, boron or mannitol.   
Bortezomib should be administered SQ.  Sites for injection (thigh or abdomen) should be 
rotated.  New injections should be given at least one inch from an old site and never into areas 
where the site is tender, bruised, erythematous or indurated.  Refer to Section 9 and the 
bortezomib Prescribing Information or SmPC for complete drug preparation and 
administration guidelines for SQ administration. In the event that SQ administration procedure 
is not tolerated, bortezomib may be given i.v. at the investigator’s discretion.

Prior to each infusion of daratumumab, administer pre-infusion medications to reduce the risk 
of infusion reactions approximately 1 – 3 hours prior to the infusion of daratumumab as 
follows:   
 Dexamethasone:  See Table 6-2 for dexamethasone dose and schedule 
 Antipyretics: (oral or i.v. acetaminophen 650 – 1000 mg) 
 Antihistamine: (oral or i.v. diphenhydramine 25 – 50 mg or equivalent)

Alternate and or additional medications to reduce the risk of infusion related reactions such as 
montelukast 10 mg may be given at the investigator’s discretion. 
On days when melflufen and daratumumab are scheduled on the same day, dexamethasone 
should be given first (1-3 hours prior to the daratumumab infusion), followed by melflufen 
then followed by the pre-medication for daratumumab approximately 30 minutes prior to the 
start of the daratumumab administration. Dexamethasone should be given prior to melflufen, 
1 – 3 hours prior to the infusion of daratumumab, when both drugs are given on the same day.  
Daratumumab should be administered by a healthcare professional, with immediate access to 
emergency equipment and appropriate medical support to manage infusion reactions if they 
occur.  
6.5.4.2 
Infusion Rates 
Administer daratumumab infusion intravenously at the infusion rate described below in Table 
6-4. Consider incremental escalation of the infusion rate only in the absence of infusion 
reactions.

b) Use a dilution volume of 500 mL only if there were no Grade 1 (mild) or greater infusion reactions 
during the first 3 hours of the first infusion. Otherwise, continue to use a dilution volume of 1000 mL 
and instructions for the first infusion. 
c) Use a modified initial rate for subsequent infusions (i.e. third infusion onwards) only if there were no 
Grade 1 (mild) or greater infusion reactions during a final infusion rate of ≥100 mL/hour in the first two 
infusions. Otherwise, continue to use instructions for the second infusion. 
6.5.4.3 
Post-infusion Medications 
For patients with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, consider prescribing post-
infusion medications such as short and long-acting bronchodilators, and inhaled 
corticosteroids. Following the first four infusions, if the patient experiences no major infusion 
reactions, these additional inhaled post-infusion medications may be discontinued. 
6.5.4.4 
Management of Infusion Reactions 
For infusion reactions of any grade/severity, immediately interrupt the daratumumab infusion 
and manage symptoms. Management of infusion reactions may further require reduction in the 
rate of infusion, or treatment discontinuation of daratumumab as outlined below. 
 Grade 1-2 (mild to moderate): Once reaction symptoms resolve, resume the infusion 
at no more than half the rate at which the reaction occurred. If the patient does not 
experience any further reaction symptoms, infusion rate escalation may resume at

increments and intervals as clinically appropriate up to the maximum rate of 200 
mL/hour. 
 Grade 3 (severe): Once reaction symptoms resolve, consider restarting the infusion at 
no more than half the rate at which the reaction occurred. If the patient does not 
experience additional symptoms, resume infusion rate escalation at increments and 
intervals as outlined in Table 6-4. Repeat the procedure above in the event of 
recurrence of Grade 3 symptoms. Permanently discontinue daratumumab upon the 
third occurrence of a Grade 3 or greater infusion reaction. 
 Grade 4 (life threatening): Permanently discontinue daratumumab treatment. 
6.6 
PHASE 1 DOSE LIMITING TOXICITY 
Toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute – Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 (CTCAE 4.03). The following criteria will apply to 
each cohort to be evaluated in Phase 1, Cycle 1 only.   Each cohort will be assessed by the 
DSMC prior to changes in cohort assignment.  Patients who discontinue therapy during cycle 
1 for reasons other the study drug related toxicity and are considered non-evaluable for DLT 
assessment may be replaced at the discretion of the DSMC. Events that are clearly and 
incontrovertibly due to extraneous causes should not be counted as DLTs.  
6.6.1 
Regimen A: Dose Limiting Toxicity 
The prophylactic use of growth factors and platelet transfusions is not permitted in Cycle 1 of 
the dose escalation cohorts in Phase 1.  
 
 Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity preventing the administration of > 1 dose of 
bortezomib during the 1st cycle  
o Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy in patients with a baseline neuropathy due to 
prior PI exposure will not be considered a DLT.  These patients may be replaced 
at the discretion of the DSMC. 
 Grade 4 or greater non-hematologic toxicity  
 Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 25,000 cells/ mm3) preventing the 
administration of > 1 dose of bortezomib during the 1st cycle or with clinically 
significant bleeding during the 1st cycle 
 Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC < 500 cells/mm3), lasting more than 7 days during the 1st 
cycle 
 Greater than 14 days’ delay to meet the criteria for the start of a new cycle (Cycle 2) 
due to toxicity

6.7 
REGIMEN A AND B: INITIATION OF A NEW CYCLE OF THERAPY 
The following guidelines apply to all cycles following Cycle 1.  Patients should be assessed at 
the beginning of each cycle according to the tests and evaluations outlined on Day 1 of each 
cycle in Table 8-1: Schedule of Events.  Refer to Section 6.8 for dose modifications related to 
toxicity. To begin a new cycle of treatment, the following criteria must be met. 
 
Regimen A and B: Criteria for Initiation of a New Cycle of Therapy  
 ANC must be ≥ 1,000 cells/mm3 (1.0 x109/L) 
 Platelet count must be ≥ 50,000 cells/mm3 (50.0 x 109/L) (platelet transfusions not 
recommended within ≤ 5 days of dosing [See Section 7.2]). This is applicable for 
patients in both arms as well as for patients in arm A that have discontinued melflufen 
but remain on bortezomib and dexamethasone. For patients in arm B that have 
discontinued melflufen but remain on daratumumab and dexamethasone the platelet 
count must be ≥ 25,000 cells/mm3 (25.0 x 109/L)  
 All non-hematologic toxicities must be ≤ Grade 1 or returned to baseline (except 
peripheral neuropathy Grade 1 without pain, alopecia and fatigue ≤ Grade 2) 
 (Regimen B only) Absence of daratumumab infusion reactions that require 
discontinuation (Grade 4 or Grade 3 on three occurrences in the previous cycle see 
Section 6.5.4.4)  
If these criteria are not met on the scheduled Day 1, the new cycle should be held and patients 
should be re-evaluated weekly. Refer to Section 6.8 for guidelines on dose modification due 
to drug related toxicity.  
The maximum amount of time for which study therapy may be held due to drug related toxicity 
is 28 days from a scheduled Day 1 (Day 57).  If study drug is held for more than 28 days due 
to drug related toxicity the patient will be removed from the study treatment and enter 
progression free survival follow-up (PFS-FU).  If, however the patient was clearly benefiting 
from therapy, the patient may be able to continue treatment at the Investigator discretion and 
in consultation with the medical monitor, after resolution of the AE.

6.8 
DOSE MODIFICATIONS 
No dose modifications are permitted in Phase 1 during Cycle 1, unless the patient experiences 
DLT.  Patients experiencing DLT during Cycle 1 may continue on therapy if the toxicity can 
be managed according to the dose modification guidelines outlined below.  However, the DLT 
event will contribute to the assessment of toxicity for that given cohort.   
Dose modifications are permitted following Cycle 1 in Phase 1 and in all cycles of Phase 2a 
according to guidelines described in this section.  Toxicity should be assessed using the 
common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 4.03 (Appendix B).  All 
dose modifications should be based on the worst preceding toxicity.  Each AE should be 
attributed to a specific drug, if possible, so that the dose modifications can be made 
accordingly.  Reduction of one agent and not the other is appropriate if toxicity is related 
primarily to one of the agents.  No dose escalations are permitted in any given patient once a 
dose level has been reduced. 
Dose modifications different from those stated in the protocol should only be made in 
consultation with the medical monitor or Sponsor; unless required for immediate patient safety.   
Administration of the study treatment should be discontinued in the event of a TEAE that 
persists despite appropriate dose modifications or any other AE that, in the opinion of the 
investigator, warrants discontinuation.  All interruptions or changes to study treatment 
administration must be recorded in the eCRF.  In case of dose reduction of any study therapy, 
the dose should not be re-escalated to the higher dose once the AE resolves. 
6.8.1 
Dose Reduction Steps 
6.8.1.1 
Dose Reduction Steps for Melflufen 
Dose modifications of melflufen for drug related toxicity are permitted. Multiple dose 
reductions are permitted however, the lowest dose permitted is 20 mg.  If a patient is unable to 
tolerate the lowest dose of melflufen due to drug related toxicity the patient must be withdrawn 
from treatment.  Prior to each cycle of melflufen the criteria for initiation of therapy must be 
met (See Section 6.7).  Patients who discontinue treatment with any drug in the Regimen 
(excluding dexamethasone) for any reason may continue treatment with the other drug in the 
Regimen at the investigator discretion if in the patients’ best interest. Patients who discontinue 
melflufen and continue on treatment with the other drug in the Regimen will be followed for 
response, PFS and OS follow-up.  
Patients in Phase 1, starting on 30 mg melflufen, may have the dose increased to 40 mg 
following consultation with the medical monitor and sponsor, for patients who have not had a 
DLT in Cycle 1 and have not required a dose reduction in any cycle, if in the best interest of 
the patient.  In addition, the 40 mg melflufen dose cohort must be completed and well tolerated. 
Table 6-5 describes the dose reduction depending on the starting dose of melflufen.

Dose Reduction Steps for Bortezomib (Regimen A) 
Dose modifications of bortezomib for drug related toxicity are permitted. Multiple dose 
reductions are permitted however, the lowest dose permitted is 0.7 mg/m2.  If a patient is 
unable to tolerate the lowest dose of bortezomib due to drug related toxicity the patient must 
be withdrawn from treatment.  Prior to each cycle of bortezomib the criteria for initiation of 
therapy must be met (See Section 6.7).  If bortezomib is discontinued for any reason, the patient 
may continue on therapy with melflufen and dexamethasone.

6.8.2 
Regimen A: Dose Modification Guidelines Based on Toxicity 
Melflufen is a potent myelosuppressive agent, and bortezomib may contribute to hematologic 
toxicity, therefore it is essential that careful attention be paid to the monitoring of blood counts.  
General supportive measures, together with appropriate red blood cell and platelet transfusions 
and hematological growth factors, should be instituted as necessary.  It is recommended, at the 
investigator discretion, that platelet transfusion should be avoided within 5 days of the next 
dose of melflufen in order to assess endogenous platelet recovery and avoid the possibility of 
excessive myelosuppression. 
The guidelines for dose modification for both melflufen and bortezomib based on toxicity 
experienced on Day 1 of a cycle and during a cycle are detailed in Table 6-8.  If the criteria for 
initiation of a new cycle of therapy, as detailed in Section 6.7, are not met on Day 29 (the next 
scheduled Day 1 of any given cycle), treatment should be held and the patient should be re-
evaluated weekly.

**For bortezomib related peripheral neuropathy please refer to Table 6-9. 
*** A dose reduction may not be required if: the toxicity can be managed with appropriate therapy or the risk of 
recurrence may be reduced by the use of appropriate prophylactic therapy (e.g. anti-emetics and anti-diarrheals 
for nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) AND/OR The toxicity was transient and/or does not warrant a dose reduction 
in the opinion of the investigator in consultation with the medical monitor (headache, transient abnormal 
laboratory value, fatigue).  This must be discussed with the Medical Monitor on a case by case basis.  
Alternate dose modification may be considered in discussion with the medical monitor or the 
Sponsor.  Continued dosing with or without dose reduction may be considered after contact 
with the medical monitor in case of non-study drug related cycle prolongations (for example: 
influenza). 
Patients who discontinue treatment for a study related AE including abnormal laboratory value 
must be followed as described in Section 8.2.6 and 8.2.7.   
Regimen A - Dose Modifications for Bortezomib Related Peripheral Neuropathy 
Patients experiencing new or worsening peripheral neuropathy during bortezomib therapy may

Regimen B:  Dose Modifications for Daratumumab 
There are no dose reductions for daratumumab. Refer to Table 6-4 for changes in the rate of 
infusion for daratumumab hypersensitivity infusion related reactions. 
6.8.3.2 
Daratumumab precautions 
Daratumumab binds to CD38 on RBCs and results in a positive Indirect Antiglobulin Test 
(Indirect Coombs test). Daratumumab-mediated positive indirect antiglobulin test may persist 
for up to 6 months after the last daratumumab infusion. Daratumumab bound to RBCs masks 
detection of antibodies to minor antigens in the patient’s serum. The determination of a 
patient’s ABO and Rh blood type are not impacted.  
Notify blood transfusion centers of this interference with serological testing and inform blood 
banks that a patient has received daratumumab. Type and screen patients prior to starting 
daratumumab. 
Management of Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation 
For subjects who are diagnosed with HBV reactivation while on treatment, study treatment 
should be interrupted until the infection is adequately controlled. If the benefits outweigh the 
risks, study treatment may be resumed with concomitant antiviral prophylaxis as per local 
standard of care. Consult a liver disease specialist as clinically indicated. Primary antiviral 
prophylaxis is permitted as per local standard of care. 
6.8.3.3 
Melflufen precautions 
Melflufen is a potent myelosuppressive agent, and it is essential that careful attention be paid 
to the monitoring of blood counts.  General supportive measures, together with appropriate red 
blood cell and platelet transfusions and hematological growth factors, should be instituted if 
necessary.  It is recommended, at the investigator discretion, that platelet transfusion should 
be avoided within 5 days of the next dose of melflufen in order to assess endogenous platelet 
recovery and avoid the possibility of excessive myelosuppression.

the medical monitor or Sponsor on a case by case basis. 
**For daratumumab related infusion reactions please refer to Section 6.5.4.4 
*** A dose reduction may not be required if: the toxicity can be managed with appropriate therapy or the risk of 
recurrence may be reduced by the use of appropriate prophylactic therapy (e.g. anti-emetics and anti-diarrheals 
for nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) AND/OR The toxicity was transient and/or does not warrant a dose reduction 
in the opinion of the investigator in consultation with the medical monitor (headache, abnormal laboratory value, 
fatigue).  This must be discussed with the Medical Monitor on a case by case basis.  
Alternate dose modification may be considered in discussion with the medical monitor or the 
Sponsor.  Continued dosing with or without dose reduction of melflufen may be considered 
after contact with the medical monitor in case of non-study drug related cycle prolongations 
(for example: influenza). 
Patients who discontinue treatment for a study related AE including abnormal laboratory value 
must be followed as described in Section 8.2.6 and 8.2.7.   
6.8.4 
Regimen A and B: Dose Modifications for Dexamethasone 
Dose modifications for dexamethasone are permitted. If a patient is unable to tolerate 
dexamethasone due to dexamethasone related toxicity, dexamethasone may be further reduced 
or discontinued following consultation with the medical monitor.   However, alternate steroids 
may be required for prevention of daratumumab infusion related reactions. Refer to the 
daratumumab Prescribing Information or SmPC for further information.   In the event of a 
cycle delay, unrelated to dexamethasone toxicity, dexamethasone may be continued weekly at 
the investigators discretion.

TREATMENT DURATION 
Patients will receive treatment until there is documented PD, according to the IMWG-URC 
guidelines (Rajkumar et al. 2011, Appendix C), to be confirmed on two consecutive 
assessments, unacceptable toxicity or the patient/treating physician determines it is not in the 
patient’s best interest to continue.  Confirmed PD (on 2 consecutive assessments) should be 
verified by the medical monitor prior to treatment discontinuation.  
7 
CONCOMITANT THERAPY  
All blood products and baseline medications that the patient is taking within 21 days prior to 
the initiation of therapy must be recorded.  All additional medications (other than study drug) 
or changes in baseline medications and significant non-drug therapies (including physical 
therapy, herbal/natural medications and blood transfusions) administered during the study 
must be listed on the Concomitant Medications page of the eCRF.  
7.1 
REQUIRED CONCOMITANT THERAPY 
 Contraceptive measures 
Males and females of child-bearing potential shall be required to use effective 
contraceptive methods (or abstinence) prior to initiation of study drug, while on 
therapy and for 3 months after the last dose of study drug.  The best method should be 
determined in consultation with the Investigator. 
Females: 
- 
Birth control methods that are considered as highly effective include: tubal ligation, 
IUD, hormonal (birth control pills, injections, hormonal patches, vaginal rings, or

implants), or partner’s vasectomy. Microdose progesterone analogues should be 
avoided. 
- 
Reliable contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of 
infertility, unless due to hysterectomy. 
Males: 
Males must use a condom during any sexual contact with females of child-bearing 
potential during therapy and for three months after the last dose of study drug, even if 
they have had a successful vasectomy.  Males should not donate sperm during the study 
and for 3 months after treatment has been stopped.  It is not known if melflufen may 
cause permanent sterility, therefore, male patients may wish to consider cryo-
preservation of semen before initiating therapy with melflufen.   
 Anti-viral prophylaxis 
It is required that patients receive prophylaxis against herpes zoster using oral 
acyclovir (400 mgs twice daily) or valacyclovir (500 mgs twice daily) or equivalent 
antiviral therapy per institutional guidelines and at the discretion of the site 
investigator, unless the participant develops a hypersensitivity to the agents.   
Reactivation of Hepatitis B:  See Section 6.8.3.2, regarding management of patients at 
risk for, or diagnosed with, reactivation of hepatitis B.  
 Regimen specific requirements 
Refer to the specific subsection of each drug for any additional required concomitant 
medications associated with the respective drug in each Regimen. 
7.2 
RECOMMENDED CONCOMITANT THERAPY 
 Pneumocystis prophylaxis  
o All patients are recommended to receive pneumocystis prophylaxis 
concomitant treatment according to the National Comprehensive Cancer 
Network (NCCN) or institutional guidelines: 
http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/pdf/infections.pdf 
o Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole – Prophylaxis: single or double strength daily 
or double strength 3 x per week. May require adjustment for renal insufficiency. 
o Patients who are found to be intolerant of pneumocystis prophylaxis while on 
study may continue on study at the discretion of the investigator   
 Prophylactic treatment with anti-emetic(s) prior to melflufen administration is 
recommended. Subsequent anti-emetic drugs against emesis should be administered at 
the discretion of the investigator.  
 Patients should receive full supportive care, including transfusions of blood and blood 
products (with the limitations of prophylactic use noted below), antibiotics, anti-
diarrheals, analgesics, etc. and prophylactic treatment for tumor lysis syndrome when 
appropriate.  
 Other prophylactic treatment for patient related concomitant conditions or risks may 
be considered.

 Bisphosphonate therapy i.v. or p.o. should be administered if indicated in accordance 
with institutional guidelines. 
 Thrombocytopenia and neutropenia are known consequences of MM but also the most 
common expected adverse event (AE)s associated with melflufen.  Careful attention is 
to be paid to the monitoring of blood counts. General supportive measures, together 
with appropriate blood and platelet transfusions and hematological growth factors 
should be instituted if necessary.  It is recommended, at the investigator’s discretion, 
that platelet transfusion should be avoided within ≤ 5 days of the next dose in order to 
assess endogenous platelet recovery and avoid the possibility of excessive 
myelosuppression (Excluding Cycle 1, Day 1 which adheres to the guidelines in 
Section 6.2 for use of growth factors and platelet transfusions prior to the first dose of 
therapy). 
 Recommended Antimicrobial prophylaxis   
o For patients with history of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection that required 
treatment, prophylactic treatment per NCCN or institutional guidelines is 
recommended.   
http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/pdf/infections.pdf 
or 
NCCN.org 
o Patients with neutropenia are strongly recommended to receive antimicrobial 
prophylaxis throughout the treatment period per NCCN or institutional 
guidelines. 
http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/pdf/infections.pdf 
 
or 
NCCN.org 
 Regimen specific recommendations 
o Refer to the drug administration section of each drug for any additional 
recommended concomitant medications associated with the respective drug in 
each Regimen. 
7.3 
PROHIBITED CONCOMITANT THERAPY 
 Concurrent therapy with any approved or investigative anticancer therapeutic drug 
with activity against MM, including alpha interferon and/or chronic use of 
clarithromycin, is not allowed  
 Corticosteroids for non-malignant conditions (e.g., asthma, inflammatory bowel 
disease) > prednisone 10 mg/day (or its equivalent) are not permitted. However, 
steroids required for the treatment of daratumumab infusion related reactions are 
permitted 
 Other investigative agents should not be used during the study 
 Radiation therapy to a limited area for bone pain to a pre-existing lesion may be 
considered in consultation with and approval of the medical monitor 
 The use of live vaccines is prohibited during the study and for 30 days after last dose 
of study drug

a) All patients must sign an (IRB/IEC/REB)-approved informed consent document prior to enrollment and prior to any study related procedures. 
b) Medical History including demographics, prior and current medical illness and conditions, prior surgical procedures.  Disease history includes date of initial 
diagnosis, ISS, R-ISS and cytogenetics at diagnosis (if previously evaluated).  ISS and R-ISS stage (Appendix I) at time of study entry.  Prior surgery and/or 
radiation and anticancer therapy, including start and stop dates, documentation of best response, date of progressive disease and relapsed or refractory status 
(Appendix E).   
c) A complete physical exam, including height (screening only) and weight, neurologic assessment and assessment for extramedullary myeloma (if present on PE) 
will be conducted at screening, Day 1 of each cycle and End of Treatment visit.  A symptom directed physical examination will be conducted as needed during 
a cycle.  Plasmacytomas that can be followed by physical exam are to be evaluated on Day 1 of each cycle.  Baseline symptoms and residual toxicity from 
previous therapy is to be assessed within 21 days prior to initiation of therapy.   
d) Vital signs including blood pressure, pulse, respiration rate, temperature, to be assessed at screening and pre and post melflufen infusion and pre and post each 
daratumumab infusion and as clinically indicated.  Regimen A: BSA should be calculated on Day1 of each cycle prior to bortezomib administration.  (See Section 
6.5.3  and Appendix J). 
e) All FCBP must have a medically supervised negative serum or urine pregnancy test prior to the initiation of therapy.   A FCBP is a sexually mature female who: 
1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had 
menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).   
f) 
A12-lead ECG assessment will be performed on all patients at screening and End of Treatment visit and as clinically indicated.  Q-Tc interval to be assessed by 
Fridericia formula (Appendix H). 
g) Hematology: CBC with differential, and platelet count.  Patients are required to have all laboratory evaluations completed at the study center during Cycles 1 
and 2.  Following Cycle 2, CBC evaluations may be done at the study center laboratory or other local laboratory as long as the results are reviewed by the study

center within 24 hours and toxicity assessment is completed.   Repeat CBC is required on Day 4 and 11 only for patients on twice weekly bortezomib (Regimen 
A).  Exceptions and reduced frequency of CBC evaluations may be made only in consultation with the medical monitor.  All CBC values collected in addition 
to protocol specified time points must be recorded in the eCRF.  See Section 10.1.5 for reporting requirements of scheduled and unscheduled results of 
thrombocytopenia and neutropenia.   In the event that melflufen is discontinued and the partner therapy is continued, the schedule of CBC and platelet evaluations 
may be conducted at the investigator’s discretion but must at a minimum be performed Day 1 of each subsequent cycle and before bortezomib administration on 
day 8 in each cycle and before each dose of daratumumab. 
h) Coagulation: prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR). 
i) 
Blood chemistry: sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, phosphate, uric acid, blood urea nitrogen [BUN](or urea), glucose (fasting at baseline), ALT/AST 
(SGPT/SGOT), alkaline phosphatase, total protein, total bilirubin, albumin, serum creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate by Cockcroft-Gault 
Formula (Appendix G) calcium and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).  Patients are required to have all evaluations completed at the treatment center during Cycles 
1 and 2.  Following Cycle 2, Chemistry evaluations may be done at the study center laboratory or other local laboratory as long as the results are reviewed by 
the study center within 24 hours and toxicity assessment is completed.  Exceptions may be made only in consultation with the medical monitor.. 
j) 
Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) to be collected at screening for % plasma cells, morphology, and cytogenetics by Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH). 
Minimum FISH probes include t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), del(17/17p), gain(1q)(Sonneveld et al 2016). In addition, If cytogenetics by karyotype has been done 
according to institutional guidelines it should be recorded in the CRF.  A BMA sample is to be collected at screening and stored for possible MRD assessment. 
If a bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy has been collected within 28 days, with the appropriate evaluations, prior to initiation of therapy, it does not need to be 
repeated. A repeat BMA is required to confirm a suspected CR and to assess MRD status. Stored BMA samples may be used for optional future testing if 
requested by Oncopeptides in consenting patients and where regionally acceptable. Refer to Laboratory manual. 
k) SPEP and UPEP and serum and urine IFE (if SPEP or UPEP are not detectable and to confirm a CR), quantitative immunoglobulins per routine lab 
practice and SFLC assay (only required if SPEP and UPEP are not measurable [UPEP is < 200 mg/24 hours and SPEP is < 0.5 g/dL]) are to be conducted 
at screening, Cycle 1 Day 1 and prior to each cycle even if treatment is delayed. Quantitative immunoglobulins only need to be repeated for patients 
with IgA or IgD myeloma.  All assessment of SPEP, UPEP, IFE and FLC must be completed in the same laboratory for a given patient.  In the event 
treatment is delayed, ≥ 6 weeks (beyond Day 43), MM disease response assessments are required to be repeated on the day the new cycle starts (Day 50 
or 57 of the previous cycle). If treatment is discontinued beyond Day 43 the response assessments should be repeated on the day of that determination 
(or as soon as possible ≥ 30 days after last dose of study drug) as part of the end of treatment (EoT) visit. As daratumumab is a monoclonal IgG kappa 
antibody, the SPEP and IFE can be positive due to daratumumab. For patients with IgG kappa multiple myeloma with an SPEP at or below 0.2 g/dL 
on 2 or more consecutive cycles, or zero, but persistently positive IFE for IgG kappa on 2 or more occasions. the DIRA test must be completed (refer to 
the lab guidance document for details).  
l) 
Known or suspected extramedullary plasmacytomas are to be assessed at screening (perform necessary imaging to obtain measurements), as clinically indicated 
and to confirm response identified by M protein or suspected progression. The same method of evaluation should be used throughout the study (e.g., 
Computerized tomography [CT]/ magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]/ positron emission tomography [PET]). All imaging assessments with measurements should 
be documented in the eCRF.

m) Skeletal survey includes lateral radiograph of the skull, and anterioposterior views of femur and humeri, anterioposterior and lateral views of the spine, and 
anterioposterior views of the pelvis and ribs. Low dose CT scan may be used in addition or in place of conventional X-ray with the same technique to be used 
with each evaluation.  Required if previous survey > 6 weeks from initiation of therapy and at any time when clinically indicated.  Limited X-rays may be 
performed as clinically indicated to confirm PD. 
n) PK samples will be collected in patients from both Regimens, at selected sites only. Three plasma samples for determination of melphalan concentrations will 
be drawn in connection to the first two melflufen treatment cycles, 10 – 15 minutes after the end of the melflufen infusion, 1 hour after the end of the melflufen 
infusion and for cycle 1 the third sample should be taken 2-4 hours after the end of the melflufen infusion (as late as possible within the time frame). For cycle 
2,in Regimen B, the third sample should be taken at the end of the daratumumab infusion.   Refer to the Laboratory Manual for details on specimen collection 
and processing. 
o) See Section 6 in the protocol for complete details on study drug administration, dose modifications, start of a new cycle of therapy and study drug compliance. 
See Section 9 for study drug supply, storage, preparation and accountability.   
p) Concomitant medications and procedures: - all blood products and medications within 21 days prior to first dose until the End of Treatment Visit. 
q) End of Treatment visit should be scheduled 30 days (accepted time window ±3 days) after last dose of study treatment or as soon as possible if the decision to 
remove patient from therapy occurs later than 30 days after last dose (such as in the case of a prolonged cycle) with evaluation of safety variables including 
recording of new and ongoing AEs, review of concomitant medications and any other new disease related therapy.  If a new treatment for MM is to be introduced 
sooner than 30 days after last dose of study drug the EoT visit should occur as close as possible before the first dose of the new drug.  Ongoing neutropenia and 
thrombocytopenia Grade 3-4 at the EoT visit are to be followed until resolution (≤ Grade 2) or initiation of subsequent therapy.  SAEs should be followed until 
resolution or stabilization with no expected resolution.   
r) 
Progression Free Survival Follow-Up (PFS-FU): Patients who discontinue therapy for reasons other than disease progression should continue to have monthly 
disease assessments done until documented progression (confirmed on 2 consecutive assessments) or initiation of subsequent therapy. Schedule the first 
assessment 4 weeks after the EoT visit.  Confirmed PD should be verified by medical monitor prior to discontinuation of therapy. If PD has not been confirmed 
prior to the initiation of subsequent therapy the reason for the subsequent therapy should be documented. Documentation of the start date and regimen of the 
first subsequent therapy is required. Serum calcium and albumin (corrected calcium) required only if evidence of PD.  
s) 
   Overall Survival Follow-up (OS-FU):  Following confirmed disease progression or initiation of subsequent therapy, follow-up for overall survival status and 
second primary malignancies will take place every three months +/- 7 days for 24 months. In the event that Oncopeptides AB would like to determine the OS 
status of patients following 24 months, future inquiries about their health status may be conducted. This information may be recorded outside of the eCRF 
established for this study.  Documentation of the start date and regimen of the first subsequent therapy should be done if it occurs during OS -FU.  Follow-up 
may be completed by phone contact.  SAEs should be followed until resolution or stabilization with no expected resolution.  Death information from public 
sources, e.g. death registry, obituary listing, etc. can also be used when it is available and verifiable.  
t) 
+/- 3 day window permitted (Except Cycle 1 Day 1) for holidays/administrative reasons. 
u) Hepatitis B assessments required for Regimen B screening.  Patients with active hepatitis B (defined as HBsAg+) are excluded. Patients with non-active hepatitis 
B (HBsAg-, Anti-HBs+, Anti-HBc+) may only be enrolled after approval of the sponsor and consideration of risk of reactivation. If approved, additional screening

and monitoring will include HBV-DNA testing by PCR performed locally at screening, every 12 weeks during treatment, at the EoT Visit, then 3 and 6 months 
after the last dose of daratumumab.  Consultation with a liver disease specialist may be required. 
* If patient tolerability is good, i.e. no dose modifications, dose delays or need of supportive therapy (Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), blood or 
platelet transfusion) in the two preceding cycles, then CBC assessments may be excluded as the following; Regimen A Day 22; Regimen B Day 8 and Day 22.  Patients 
should still be contacted weekly to follow up on AE/SAEs and Dexamethasone compliance.

8.2.1 
Screening Disease Assessments 
 M-protein determination using the following procedures  
o SPEP and serum protein IFE with quantitative Ig;  
 Quantitative immunoglobulin evaluation may be based on regional 
availability of the test. 
 Immunofixation of serum is required at screening if M protein by SPEP 
is not detectable 
o UPEP and urine protein IFE (all using the same 24-hour urine collection) 
 Immunofixation of urine is required at screening if M protein by UPEP 
is not detectable 
o SFLC and SFLC ratio 
 FLC assessment is not required at screening in the presence of 
measurable SPEP and/or UPEP (SPEP ≥ 0.5 g/dL and/or UPEP ≥ 200 
mg/24 hours), 
 If the M protein is non-measurable in SPEP and UPEP at screening or 
Cycle 1, Day 1, the FLC is required 
 BMA to quantify percent myeloma cell involvement and morphology, cytogenetics by 
FISH and a sample stored for possible MRD assessment. If cytogenetics by karyotype 
has been done according to institutional guidelines it should be recorded in the CRF. 
 Extramedullary plasmacytoma evaluation of known or suspected lesions (by PE or 
imaging procedures) 
 Skeletal survey: lateral radiograph of the skull, and anterioposterior views of femur and 
humeri, anterioposterior and lateral views of the spine, and anterioposterior views of 
the pelvis and ribs. Low dose CT scan may be used in addition or in place of 
conventional X-ray (with the same technique to be used with each evaluation)   
 Beta2 microglobulin 
 Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)  
 ISS staging score and revised R-ISS (Appendix I) 
8.2.2 
Efficacy Assessments  
M-protein determination using the following procedures (also refer to footnote k on Table 8-1): 
 SPEP and serum protein IFE with quantitative immunoglobulins (For patients with IgA 
and IgD myeloma);

OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
o As daratumumab is a monoclonal IgG kappa antibody, the SPEP and IFE can 
be positive due to daratumumab. For patients with IgG kappa multiple myeloma 
with an SPEP at or below 0.2 g/dl on 2 or more consecutive cycles, or zero, but 
persistently positive IFE for IgG kappa on 2 or more occasions. the DIRA test 
must be completed. 
o Immunofixation of serum is required at any time when M protein by SPEP 
becomes non-detectable and to confirm a CR. 
 UPEP and urine protein IFE (all using the same 24-hour urine collection); and  
o Immunofixation of urine is required at any time when M protein by UPEP 
becomes not detectable and to confirm a CR. 
 SFLC and SFLC ratio 
o FLC assessment is not required in the presence of measurable SPEP and/or 
UPEP (SPEP ≥ 0.5 g/dL and/or UPEP ≥ 200 mg/24 hours), 
o FLC is required to confirm sCR, regardless of type of measurable disease. 
o It is up to the site to work with the laboratory that performs the response 
analyses to ensure that the laboratory completes the immunofixation and FLC 
evaluations when required, to enable response assessments according to IMWG 
criteria. 
 Extramedullary plasmacytoma evaluation with the same technique to be used with each 
evaluation 
 Bone marrow aspirate to quantify percent myeloma cell involvement  
 Skeletal X-rays and/or CT scans

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
AEs, including clinical laboratory and vital sign abnormalities, will be graded using the CTCAE 
version 4.03 (Appendix B).  Patients are evaluable for toxicity if they receive any dose of study 
treatment. 
8.2.4 
Pharmacokinetic Assessments 
Plasma samples for determination of melphalan concentrations will be drawn in connection to 
2 melflufen treatment cycles, 10 – 15 minutes after the end of the infusion, 1 hour after the end 
of infusion and 2 – 4 hours after the end of infusion (as late as possible within the time frame).  
Refer to the Laboratory Manual for details on collecting and processing specimens.  
8.2.5 
Assessments if Melflufen is Discontinued 
If melflufen is discontinued and the partner therapy is continued, the schedule of assessments 
should continue as outlined in the SoA. The schedule of CBC and platelet evaluations may be 
conducted at the investigator’s discretion but must at a minimum be performed on Day 1 of 
each subsequent cycle and before bortezomib administration on Day 8 in each cycle and before  
each dose of daratumumab. Patients who discontinue melflufen and continue to be treated with 
the other drug in the Regimen should also be followed for response, PFS and OS. 
8.2.6 
End of Treatment 
The End of Treatment (EoT) visit should be scheduled 30 days (accepted time window ±3 days) 
after last dose of study drug or as soon as possible if the decision to remove the patient from 
therapy occurs later than 30 days after last dose (e.g. in the case of prolonged cycle).  At the 
EoT visit evaluation of safety including recording of new and ongoing AEs, review of 
concomitant medications and any other new disease related therapy should be done.  Patients 
with PD as the reason for EoT should have the PD confirmed with 2 consecutive assessments 
and verified by the medical monitor prior to discontinuation of therapy.  If a new treatment for 
MM is to be introduced sooner than 30 days after last dose of study drug, the EoT visit should 
occur as close as possible before the first dose of the new drug.  If PD has not been confirmed 
prior to the initiation of subsequent therapy the reason for the subsequent therapy should be 
documented.  Ongoing neutropenia and thrombocytopenia Grade 3-4 at the EoT visit are to be 
followed until resolution (≤ Grade 2), or initiation of subsequent therapy.  Ongoing SAE’s 
should be followed until resolution or stabilization with no expected resolution.  The date and 
regimen of the first subsequent therapy should be recorded in the eCRF.   
8.2.7 
Follow Up Assessments 
PFS-FU and OS-FU assessments should be completed on all patients unless due to death, lost 
to follow-up or the patient specifically has withdrawn consent for follow-up.  Discontinuation 
from treatment does not preclude the need to complete follow-up assessments. 
8.2.7.1 
Progression Free Survival Follow-up 
Patients who discontinue therapy for reasons other than disease progression should continue to 
have monthly disease assessments done for PFS-FU until progression or initiation of subsequent 
therapy.  Schedule the first assessment 4 weeks after the EoT visit.  If PD has not been 
confirmed prior to initiation of subsequent therapy the reason for the subsequent therapy should 
be documented.  The start date and regimen of the first subsequent therapy should be recorded 
in the eCRF if it occurs during PFS-FU.

Overall Survival Follow-up 
Following confirmed disease progression, patients will be followed for OS-FU. Follow-up for 
overall survival status, second primary malignancies and first subsequent therapy will take place 
every three months +/- 7 days for 24 months. In the event that Oncopeptides AB would like to 
determine the OS statusf patients following 24 months, future inquiries about their health status 
may be conducted. This information may be recorded outside of the eCRF established for this 
study.   OS-FU may be completed by phone contact.  Death information from public sources, 
(e.g. death registry, obituary listing, etc.), can also be used when it is available and verifiable.  
The start date and regimen of the first subsequent therapy should be recorded in the eCRF if it 
occurs during OS-FU.  
8.2.7.3 
Lost to Follow-Up 
Patients lost to follow up should be recorded as such on the eCRF.  For patients who are lost to 
follow-up, the investigator should show "due diligence" by documenting in the source 
documents steps taken to contact the patient (e.g., dates of telephone calls, registered letters, 
etc.). 
8.2.8 
Criteria for Premature Patient Withdrawal 
Patients may be withdrawn from treatment if any of the following occur: 
 Documented confirmed disease progression verified by the medical monitor 
(2 consecutive evaluations)  
 Patients may choose to withdraw from the study treatment at any time and continue in 
follow-up 
 AEs that, in the judgment of the investigator, may cause severe or permanent harm or 
which require study drug discontinuation (See Sections 6.8.2 and 6.8.3) 
 Clinical judgment of the investigator: A patient may be withdrawn from the study 
treatment, if in the opinion of the investigator, it is not in the patient's best interest to 
continue 
 Requiring other anti-neoplastic therapies 
 Major deviation of the study protocol (i.e., unable to adhere to study schedule) 
 Confirmed pregnancy 
 Lost to follow-up 
Patients may be withdrawn from the study if any of the following occur: 
 Withdrawal of consent for study participation 
 Death 
 Lost to follow-up 
 Discontinuation of the study by Oncopeptides AB 
 Completed OS follow-up per protocol

SAFETY MONITORING AND REPORTING 
10.1 
ADVERSE EVENTS 
10.1.1 
Definitions 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a study patient administered an investigational 
product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.  
An AE therefore can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including laboratory finding), 
symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not 
considered drug-related.  In addition to new events, any increase in the severity or frequency of 
a pre-existing condition that occurs after the patient begins study therapy is considered an AE.  
This includes any side effect, injury, toxicity, or sensitivity reaction.  
An unexpected AE is any adverse drug event, the specificity or severity of which is not 
consistent with the current IB or prescribing information for a marketed compound.  Also, 
reports which add significant information on specificity or severity of a known, already 
documented AE constitute unexpected AEs.  For example, an event more specific or more 
severe than described in the melflufen IB or partner therapy Package Insert would be considered 
“unexpected”.    

Oncopeptides AB

Page 77 
 
 
OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
10.1.2 
Grading of Severity 
Whenever possible, the CTCAE version 4.03 should be used to describe the event and for 
assessing the severity of AEs (See Appendix B).  Any events representing a change in the 
CTCAE Grade need to be reported on the AE eCRF.  This includes any abnormal laboratory 
values that the investigator considers clinically significant (Section 10.1.5).  
For AEs not adequately addressed in the CTCAE, the severity in Table 10-1 may be used: 
Table 10-1 Adverse Event Severity  
Severity 
Description 
Grade 1 – Mild 
Transient or mild discomfort; no limitation in 
activity; no medical intervention/therapy required. 
Grade 2 – Moderate 
Mild to moderate limitation in activity some 
assistance may be needed; no or minimal medical 
intervention/therapy required. 
Grade 3 -  Severe 
Marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually 
required; medical intervention/therapy required, 
hospitalizations possible. 
Grade 4 - Life-threatening 
Extreme limitation in activity, significant assistance 
required; life-threatening (immediate risk of death); 
significant medical intervention/therapy required, 
hospitalization or hospice care probable. 
Grade 5 – Fatal 
Death 
10.1.3 
Causality 
The assessment of causality should be based on the information available, and may be changed 
upon receipt of additional information. 
Causality should be assessed using the following categories: 
 Unrelated: Clinical event with an incompatible time relationship to investigational 
agent administration, and that could be explained by underlying disease or other drugs 
or chemicals or is incontrovertibly not related to the investigational agent; 
 Possibly related: Clinical event with a reasonable time relationship to investigational 
agent administration, and that is unlikely to be attributed to concurrent disease or other 
drugs or chemicals; 
 Probably related: Clinical event with plausible time relationship to investigational agent 
administration, and that cannot be explained by concurrent disease or other drugs or 
chemicals. 
The investigator must appraise all abnormal laboratory results for their clinical significance.  
Only if an abnormal laboratory result is considered clinically significant, should it be reported 
as a treatment emergent adverse event. (See Section 10.1.5.1). 
10.1.4 
Adverse Event Reporting 
All AEs that are spontaneously reported by the patient or detected during or between visits by 
non-directive questioning, through physical examination, laboratory test, or other assessments 
should be reported in the eCRF.  As far as possible, each AE should be evaluated to determine: 

Oncopeptides AB 
Confidential 
Page 78 
 
 
OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
1. The severity grade (CTCAE Grade 1-5); 
2. Its duration (Start and end dates); 
3. Its relationship to the study treatment (causality); 
4. Action taken with study drug (e.g., none, dose reduced, dose held, permanently 
discontinued); 
5. Whether medication or therapy was given (e.g., concomitant medication or procedure); 
6. Outcome (e.g., not resolved, resolved, resolved with sequalae, fatal, unknown); 
7. Whether it is a SAE as defined in Section 10.2.1. 
All AEs should be treated appropriately.  If a concomitant medication or non-drug therapy is 
given, this action should be recorded on the eCRF. 
Any AE (e.g., a new event or an exacerbation of a pre-existing condition) that occurs after the 
first dose of study medication up to 30 days after the last study drug administration must be 
recorded as an AE on the appropriate page(s) of the eCRF.  Should a patient discontinue from 
treatment and commence subsequent anticancer therapy within 30 days of the last study drug 
administration, AEs attributable to this subsequent therapy should not be recorded.   
10.1.5 
Laboratory Test Abnormalities 
10.1.5.1 Definitions and Reporting 
Laboratory abnormalities are usually not recorded as AEs; however, signs and/or symptoms 
that are associated with laboratory findings requiring treatment discontinuation, dose 
modification, or medical intervention (e.g., anemia requiring transfusions or hyperglycemia 
requiring treatment) or other abnormal assessments (e.g., ECG, radiographs, vital signs) must 
be recorded as AE’s (or serious AE’s) if they meet the definition of an AE (or serious AE) as 
described in Section 10.1 or 10.2.  In addition, laboratory abnormalities assessed as clinically 
significant should also be recorded as AEs.  The Investigator will record the grade of the 
clinically significant laboratory abnormality and will evaluate its relationship to the study drug 
and clinical condition.  Laboratory AEs should be recorded using only one event term per event 
such as thrombocytopenia for low platelet count but not as both (thrombocytopenia and low 
platelet count). 
Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities are those that: 
 Induce clinical signs and symptoms 
 Require concomitant therapy  
 Require change in study treatment 
 Investigator considers clinically significant for any reason 
Additional Laboratory Reporting Guidelines 
Extra attention should be given to reporting all Grade 3 and 4 platelet and neutrophil counts. 
They must be: 
 Collected and reported during the study period and the EoT visit; 

Oncopeptides AB 
Confidential 
Page 79 
 
 
OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
 Ongoing Grade 3 and 4 platelet and ANC values at the time of the EoT visit are to be 
followed until resolution (≤ Grade 2), or stabilization, or initiation of a subsequent 
therapy;  
 All ANC and platelet counts collected during the protocol participation, i.e. both those 
collected at protocol specified time points and any additional time points (unscheduled 
assessments), must be reported in the eCRF and if applicable also in the SAE report;  
 All ANC and platelet counts associated with a SAE regardless of the nature of the event, 
must be reported in the details of the SAE report; 
 Supportive care such as platelet transfusions and G-CSF given for AE or prophylactic 
reasons must be reported in the eCRF and if applicable also in the SAE report. 
10.2 
SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS 
10.2.1 
Definitions 
A SAE is defined as any AE, occurring at any dose that meets any one or more of the following 
criteria: 
 Is fatal or immediately life-threatening 
 Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
 Constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
 Is medically significant; defined as an event that jeopardizes the patient or may require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above 
 Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,  
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered a serious adverse drug experience when, based upon 
appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient or if the patient may require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition. 
Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient 
hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse (21 CFR 312.32). 
Note that hospitalizations for the following reasons should not be reported as SAE’s: 
 Routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication, not associated with any 
deterioration in condition including 
o Hospitalization that is needed to complete a daratumumab infusion or due to an 
infusion related reaction (not due to melflufen) 
 Elective or pre-planned treatment for a pre-existing condition that is unrelated to the 
indication under study and has not worsened since signing the informed consent 
 Social reasons and respite care in the absence of any deterioration in the patient’s 
general condition 

Oncopeptides AB 
Confidential 
Page 80 
 
 
OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
 Treatment on an emergency outpatient basis that does not result in hospital admission 
and involves an event not fulfilling any of the definitions of a SAE given above is not 
a serious adverse event 
 Disease progression: In instances of SAE’s due to “disease progression” the event or 
condition that met the criteria for the SAE should be indicated as the event term or 
condition rather than disease progression to the extent possible (e.g. “respiratory 
failure” or “renal failure” due to progressive MM)  
10.2.2 
Serious Adverse Event Reporting 
To ensure patient safety, every SAE, regardless of suspected causality, occurring after the 
patient has signed informed consent and until 30 days after the last administration of any study 
drug must be reported to the Oncopeptides AB designated CRO and reported in the EDC 
system , within 24 hours of the onset or after the investigator became aware of the SAE. 
An SAE reporting form must be filled out and sent via email to designated CRO.  Fax can be 
used as a back-up method for transmission of information only if emailing reports is not possible 
(fax number is provided in the Investigator Site File).  
 Email:  
 
 
The initial SAE report form should have the following data elements, at a minimum, to 
constitute a valid report: a patient identifier (patient number), an identifiable investigational 
agent (study drug), an identifiable reporting source (investigator’s name or site number) as well 
as an identifiable serious adverse event.  The investigator’s initial causality assessment must 
also be included if available. 
Each re-occurrence, change in grade, complication, or progression of the original event should 
be reported as a follow-up to that event regardless of when it occurs.  The follow-up information 
should describe whether the event has resolved or continues, if and how it was treated and 
whether the patient continued or withdrew from study participation.  An SAE occurring at a 
different time interval or otherwise considered completely unrelated to a previously reported 
one should be reported separately as a new event. 
Any SAE that occurs after the above defined regular SAE reporting period, should also be 
reported if the investigator suspects a causal relationship to the study treatment.  All deaths 
occurring during the regular SAE reporting period must be reported, regardless of cause (See 
Section 10.2.2.1).   
SAEs should be followed until resolution, or stabilization with no anticipation of resolution 
regardless of 30-days reporting time line unless deemed by the investigator as not expected to 
resolve at the last study visit or patient is lost to follow-up and this is documented in the study 
file. 
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) will be collected and reported to 
the Health Competent Authorities and concerned Independent Ethics Committees 
(IECs/Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in accordance with Directive 2001/20/EC or as per 
national regulatory requirements in participating countries.  For the purpose of SUSAR 
reporting, only possibly or probably related SAEs (i.e. there is a reasonable possibility of 
causality) will be considered serious adverse drug reactions.

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
10.2.2.1 Reporting of Death 
 Death is an outcome of a serious adverse event and not a serious adverse event in itself.  
When death is an outcome, the event(s) resulting in death should be reported (e.g., 
“pulmonary embolism” with a fatal outcome).  The appropriate diagnosis or term should 
be recorded and assigned severity Grade 5; 
 In instances of death due to “Disease Progression” the cause of death should be 
indicated as the event or condition resulting in death to the extent possible (e.g., 
“respiratory failure” due to progressive MM);   
 Deaths that occur later than 30 days after the last study drug administration should be 
reported as SAEs only if assessed as related to the study treatment. 
10.3 
PREGNANCY 
All instances of pregnancy occurring in a patient or partner of a patient taking study therapy 
must be reported within 24 hours of awareness of the pregnancy.    
The pregnancy should be followed-up to determine its outcome, including spontaneous or 
voluntary termination, details of the birth, and the presence or absence of any birth defects, 
congenital abnormalities, or maternal and/or newborn complications and possible relationship 
to the study treatment. 
A pregnancy reporting form must be filled out and sent via  email to designated CRO. Fax can 
be used as a back-up method for transmission of information only if emailing reports is not 
possible (fax number is provided in the Investigator Site File.   
 Email: 
 
 
Any SAE experienced during pregnancy (such as congenital anomaly/birth defect/spontaneous 
abortions) must be reported  as noted above. 
Male patients, who impregnate their female partners during study participation, should be 
requested to provide the outcome and details of the pregnancy, with details completed as above. 
11 
DATA COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT 
11.1 
DATA CONFIDENTIALITY 
Information about study patients will be kept confidential and managed under the applicable 
laws and regulations.  Those regulations require a signed patient authorization form informing 
the patient of the following: 
 What personal identifying and health information will be collected from patients in this 
study 
 Who will have access to that information and why 
 Who will use or disclose that information 
 The rights of a research patient to revoke their authorization for use of their personal 
and health information

OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
In the event that a patient revokes authorization to collect or use personal identifying and health 
information, the Sponsor and its agents, by regulation, retains the ability to use all information 
collected prior to the revocation of patient authorization.  For patients that have revoked 
authorization to collect or use personal identifying and health information, attempts should be 
made to obtain permission to collect follow-up safety information. 
Access to the data collection system will be controlled by user identification codes and 
passwords, made available only to authorized personnel who have completed prerequisite 
training. 
11.2 
SITE MONITORING 
Before study initiation, at a site initiation visit or at an investigator’s meeting, Oncopeptides 
AB staff (or designated CRO) will review the protocol and eCRFs with the investigators and 
their staff.  During the study, the monitor will visit the site regularly to check the completeness 
of patient records, the accuracy of entries on the eCRFs, the adherence to the protocol to Good 
Clinical Practice, the progress of enrollment, and to ensure that study treatment is being stored, 
dispensed, and accounted for according to specifications.  Key study personnel must be 
available to assist the field monitor during these visits. 
The investigator must maintain source documents for each patient in the study, consisting of 
case and visit notes (hospital or clinic medical records) containing demographic and medical 
information, laboratory data, electrocardiograms, and the results of any other tests or 
assessments.  All information recorded on eCRFs must be traceable to source documents in the 
patient's file.  The investigator must also keep the original signed informed consent form (a 
signed copy is given to the patient). 
The investigator must give the monitor access to all relevant source documents to confirm their 
consistency with the eCRF entries.  Oncopeptides AB (or CRO) monitoring standards require 
full source data verification for the presence of signed and dated informed consent, adherence 
to the inclusion/exclusion criteria and documentation of AE/SAEs.  Additional checks of the 
consistency of the source data with the eCRFs are performed according to the study-specific 
monitoring plan. 
11.3 
DATA COLLECTION 
An eCRF is required and should be completed for each patient. The patient’s identity should 
always remain confidential.  The completed original eCRF is the sole property of the Sponsor 
and should not be made available in any form to third parties (except to authorized 
representatives of appropriate regulatory authorities) without written permission from the 
Sponsor. 
The designated investigator staff will enter the data required by the protocol into the eCRF.  The 
eCRFs have been built using fully validated secure web-enabled software that conforms to 21 
CFR Part 11 requirements, Investigator site staff will not be given access to the electronic data 
capture (EDC) system until they have been trained.  Automatic validation programs will check 
for data discrepancies in the eCRFs and allow modification or verification of the entered data 
by the investigator staff. 
The study Investigators are responsible for assuring that the data entered into eCRF is complete, 
accurate, and that entry and updates are performed in a timely manner.

DATABASE MANAGEMENT AND QUALITY CONTROL 
Oncopeptides AB personnel (or designated CRO) will review the data entered by 
investigational staff for completeness and accuracy.  Electronic data queries stating the nature 
of the problem and requesting clarification will be created for discrepancies and missing values 
and sent to the investigational site via the EDC system.  Designated investigator site staff are 
required to respond promptly to queries and to make any necessary changes to the data.

STATISTICAL METHODS AND DATA ANALYSIS 
12.1 
STUDY ENDPOINTS  
12.1.1 
Primary Endpoints 
Phase 1 
The primary endpoint of Phase 1 is to analyze the frequency and grade of AE’s occurring at 
each dose level to be tested during Cycle 1 of therapy.  Each treatment regimen and dose  will 
be evaluated separately.  
Phase 2a  
The primary endpoint of Phase 2a is the overall response rate (CR, sCR, VGPR, PR) observed 
in patients treated at the optimal dose of melflufen in combination therapy according to IMWG 
-URC. Each treatment regimen and dose will be evaluated separately. 
12.1.2 
Secondary Endpoints 
 Phase 1 and 2a 
Best response during the study (CR/sCR, VGPR, PR, MR, SD, PD or non-evaluable),  
Clinical benefit rate ≥ MR,  
TTP: Time from first dose to first documented confirmed progression, death from causes other 
than progression will be censored, 
TTR: Time from first dose or therapy to first documented confirmed response.  
TTNT: Time from date of initiation of therapy to start of next line of therapy.  
DOR: Time (months) from the first evidence of confirmed assessment of sCR, CR, VGPR, or 
PR to first confirmed disease progression, or to death due to any cause.  DOR is defined only 
for patients with a confirmed PR or better.  
Duration of clinical benefit: time (months) from the first evidence of confirmed assessment of 
sCR, CR, VGPR, PR or MR to first confirmed disease progression, or to death due to any cause.  
Duration of clinical benefit is defined only for patients with a confirmed MR or better. 
PFS: Time (months) from date of initiation of therapy to the earlier of confirmed disease 
progression or death due to any cause or last known assessment. 
Oncopeptides will implement an ongoing review of the response and progression assessments 
performed by the investigator. The investigator will be notified of any discrepancies in the form 
of a data query.

OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
OS: Time (months) from date of initiation of therapy to death due to any cause.  Patients still 
alive at end of study, or lost to follow up, will be censored at last day known alive. 
To further evaluate the frequency and grade of all AE’s of the combination including the rate 
and type of second primary malignancies. Each regimen and dose will be evaluated separately. 
 
The maximum grade (according to CTCAE v4.03) for each type of AE will be recorded for 
each patient, and frequency tables will be presented and reviewed to determine patterns.  
Additionally, the relationship of the AE(s) to the study treatment will be taken into 
consideration. 
Laboratory abnormalities will be presented and reviewed.  
Each regimen and dose will be evaluated separately. 
12.1.3 
Exploratory Endpoints  
 PK parameters of melphalan 
 The rate of MRD negative or positive status for patients achieving a CR  
12.2 
SAMPLE SIZE CALCULATION 
The Phase 1 sample size will be based on the number of dose levels to be evaluated within each 
Regimen.  It is anticipated that a maximum of 12 patients are enrolled in each Regimen during 
Phase 1. 
Phase 2a sample size will include approximately 20 additional efficacy evaluable patients in 
order to reach a total of 26 efficacy evaluable patients per Regimen. 
12.3 
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE STATISTICAL ANALYSES 
The statistical analyses as outlined in this section will be further described in the statistical 
analysis plan (SAP), which will be finalized prior to locking the database.  In general, 
summaries of all data will be provided for each Regimen. Statistical analyses will be reported 
using summary tables, inferential analyses, figures, and data listings.   
For continuous variables, the number of patients with non-missing data (n), mean, standard 
deviation, median, minimum, and maximum will be summarized.  For discrete data, the 
frequency and percent distribution will be summarized.  Graphical methods will be used, as 
appropriate, to illustrate study endpoints.  Individual patient data recorded on the eCRFs and 
any derived data will be presented by group and patient in data listings. 
12.3.1 
Analysis Populations 
Patients will be summarized according to the treatment Regimen actually received. 
 
12.3.1.1 Dose Limiting Toxicity Analysis Set 
The DLT analysis set is defined as all patients in Phase 1 that complete Cycle 1 of therapy or 
are discontinued due to a DLT event defined in Section 6.6.1 and Section 6.6.2. Patients that 
have been replaced in the original assigned cohort will not be included in the DLT analysis set.

OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
12.3.1.2 Safety Analysis Set 
The Safety analysis set is defined as all patients who received at least one or partial dose of 
melflufen, dexamethasone or partner therapy (drugs defined in the Regimen).  The Safety 
analysis set will be the primary population for the summaries of all efficacy, exposure and safety 
data. The analysis (PFS) will be performed using the Safety analysis set with each regimen and 
dose  evaluated separately.  
12.3.1.3 Efficacy Analysis Set 
The efficacy analysis set will be comprised of all patients who receive at least 2 doses of 
melflufen and ≥ 50% of the partner therapy (excluding dexamethasone) during Cycles 1 and 2, 
had a baseline disease assessment, and had at least 1 post-baseline disease assessment (≥28 days 
after first dose). Each regimen and dose will be evaluated separately. 
12.4 
ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY ENDPOINTS 
12.4.1 
Phase 1 
The frequency and grade of AE’s and defined DLT’s occurring in each cohort will be 
determined. 
Dose escalation study will follow fixed dose schedule with 3-6 DLT evaluable patients at each 
dose level. Depending on the dose level at which DLT is observed, approximately 12 eligible 
patients may be enrolled in Phase 1.   The first cohort of patients enrolled in the Phase 1 portion 
of each Regimen will receive dose level 1 (melflufen 30 mg).  A full safety evaluation will be 
conducted by a DSMC when these patients have completed the first cycle of combination 
therapy with DLT assessment.  The optimal dose of melflufen in combination therapy will be 
defined as the highest of 20, 30 or 40 mg of melflufen that results in ≤ 1/6 patient with DLT 
during the first cycle of therapy.   
12.4.2 
Phase 2a 
Following determination of the optimal dose of melflufen for each Regimen, approximately 20 
additional efficacy evaluable patients will be enrolled at that level for a total of 26 efficacy 
evaluable patients treated at the dose defined in the Phase 1 part of the study per Regimen.  
For patients with more than one post-baseline efficacy assessment, the best response of all 
measurements will be used in the Phase 2a primary endpoint analysis. Patients with incomplete 
disease assessments at screening will not be admitted into the study. 
12.5 
ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY ENDPOINTS 
12.5.1 
Analysis of efficacy endpoints 
12.5.1.1 Overall Response Rate 
The ORR will be estimated as the proportion of patients in each treatment group who achieve 
a confirmed response of sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR as their best response in efficacy evaluable as 
well as all treated patients. The exact binomial 95% confidence interval (CI) for ORR will be 
calculated for each treatment regimen.

12.5.1.2 Progression Free Survival 
PFS is measured from the date of initiation of therapy to the date of documented disease 
progression or death in efficacy analysis set as well as the safety analysis set.  PFS will be right-
censored for patients who meet one of the following conditions:  
 No post baseline disease assessments 
 Non-protocol systemic anticancer treatment started before documentation of disease 
progression or death 
 Death or disease progression after more than 1 missed disease assessment visit, or  
 Death or PD between planned disease assessments 
 Death before first disease assessment 
 Alive without documentation of disease progression before a data analysis cutoff date   
These conventions are based on the May 2007 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Guidance 
for Industry, ‘Clinical Trial Endpoints for the Approval of Cancer Drugs and Biologics’.   
(http://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/u
cm071590.pdf) 
For such patients, the primary analysis of PFS will be right-censored according to the 
conventions described in Table 12-1.

The distribution of PFS will be summarized for each Regimen using the Kaplan-Meier (K-M) 
method.  The median PFS will be estimated for each treatment regimen from the 50th percentile 
of the corresponding K-M estimates.  The 95% CI for median PFS will be constructed using the 
method of Brookmeyer (Brookmeyer and Crowley, 1982).  Duration of follow-up for PFS will 
be summarized according to the K-M estimate of potential follow-up also termed “reverse 
Kaplan-Meier” (Schemper and Smith, 1996).

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
12.5.1.3 Other efficacy endpoints 
The DOR will be calculated for patients who achieve a confirmed response of PR or better. The 
DOR is defined as the time from first documentation of response to disease progression or death 
due to any cause.  Dates of progression and censoring will be determined as described for the 
analysis of PFS.  
The duration of clinical benefit is defined as the time from first documentation of response to 
disease progression or death due to any cause. Dates of progression and censoring will be 
determined as described for the analysis of PFS.  
OS is defined as time (months) from the date of initiation of therapy to date of death due to any 
cause. Patients who are alive will be censored at the last follow up visit. The analysis of OS will 
be performed as for PFS. 
Best response (sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, MR, SD or PR) will be summarized without analysis.  The 
exact 95% CIs for sCR, CR, VGPR and PR, will be calculated for each treatment regimen and 
dose. 
CBR will be summarized without analysis.  The exact 95% CI for CBR will be calculated for 
each treatment regimen. 
TTR is defined as the time (months) from initiation of therapy to the date of the first confirmed 
response (≥ PR).  
TTP is defined as the time (months) from initiation of therapy to the date of the first documented 
confirmed progression.  
TTNT is defined as the time (months) from initiation of therapy to the date of the first 
documented next treatment. 
Additional exploratory sub-analysis may be conducted to identify sub populations that may 
benefit from therapy or to more clearly define the safety profile and efficacy and/or to correlate 
biomarkers with clinical outcomes. 
12.5.2 
Analysis of Safety Endpoints 
All safety results will be presented for the safety analysis set.  No formal statistical analysis will 
be performed for the safety endpoints. Each Regimen and dose will be reported separately. 
Study treatment administration, including duration of exposure, total dose, and dose 
modifications will be summarized for each group separately.   
Each reported AE term will be mapped to a preferred term (PT) and a system organ class (SOC) 
using the current version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).  The 
summaries of AEs will be based on TEAEs.  TEAEs are defined as AEs that start on or after 
the first day of study treatment is administered and within 30 days of the last administration of 
study treatment or before start of subsequent anticancer treatment (whichever occurs first) or 
that worsen on or after the first day of study treatment.   
The number (%) of patients experiencing TEAEs will be summarized by MedDRA SOC and 
PT.  The denominator for the percentage will be based on the number of patients in the Safety 
analysis set.  A patient reporting the same AE more than once will be counted only once when 
calculating incidence 1) within a given SOC, and 2) within a given SOC and PT combination.  
For such cases, the maximum CTCAE toxicity grade and strongest causal relationship to study 

Oncopeptides AB 
Confidential 
Page 88 
 
 
OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
treatment for the event will be used in the incidence calculations.  Treatment-related AEs, 
defined as AEs with a relationship of possibly or probably related to any study drug, will be 
summarized in the same way. 
Summaries of TEAEs and treatment-related AEs will be provided according to maximum 
toxicity grade.  Grade 3 or higher TEAEs and treatment-related AEs, SAEs, and TEAEs 
resulting in permanent discontinuation of study treatment will be provided.   
Grade 3 and 4 thrombocytopenia and neutropenia will be evaluated to determine their 
frequency, duration, relationship to treatment, associated clinical consequences/medical 
management and associated significant AEs. 
During the Phase 2a portion of the study a DSMC will assess the non-hematologic toxicity 
according to the following study stopping rules:  
Phase 2a (includes all Phase 2a patients, including Phase 1 patients treated at the MTD). 
Previous bortezomib data show that Grade 4 adverse events occurred in 28% of the patients 
treated with bortezomib in combination with melphalan and dexamethasone (San Miguel et al, 
2008) with the majority being hematological events.  Current information shows that Grade 4 
non-hematological toxicity is rare in connection to daratumumab treatment (Daratumumab 
label).  The most common Grade 4 events were thrombocytopenia and neutropenia occurring 
in 5.4% and 2.7% of the daratumumab treated patients (Usmani et al, 2016).  Grade ≥ 4 non-
hematologic melflufen-related toxicity occurred in 6.7 % of RRMM patients treated with 
melflufen (at the MTD of 40 mg/28 days) and dexamethasone in the Phase 2a study. Non-
hematological treatment-related Grade 4 toxicity is therefore expected to occur at a frequency 
of less than 10% in the present study.   
 
The DSMC will meet regularly to assess the benefit/risk profile in the Phase 2a portion of the 
study. All reported Grade 3-4 treatment-related non-hematological AEs, as well as all SAEs, 
and any treatment-related deaths due to hematologic or non-hematologic AEs will then be 
presented to the DSMC.  If the DSMC considers the AE patterns differ from the Reference 
Safety Information for the individual drugs in the combination, the DSMC may recommend 
additional safety monitoring or stopping further recruitment. A recommended stopping rule is 
if three non-hematological treatment-related Grade 4 events occur among the first 10 patients 
or in 20% of the patients at any time thereafter, or if any treatment-related deaths due to 
hematologic or non-hematologic AEs occur at any time. This stopping rule would suspend 
accrual to the study pending DSMC investigation of the benefit/risk profile.  
12.6 
ANALYSIS OF EXPLORATORY ENDPOINTS 
12.6.1 
Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
The pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation will be performed only at selected centers in a sub-group 
of patients.  
Three plasma samples for determination of melphalan concentrations should be drawn at each 
of the first two melflufen treatment cycles.  The first sample should be taken 10-15 minutes 
after end of infusion, the second sample 1 hour after end of infusion and the third sample 2 to 4 
hours (as late as possible within the time frame) after end of infusion.

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
The relationship between melphalan PK parameters and patient factors, will be assessed, as well 
as the inter-occasion variability in melphalan exposure when comparing data for treatment 
Cycles 1 and 2.  
The melphalan concentration data will be pooled across patients and evaluated using a 
population approach with nonlinear mixed-effect modeling. Actual time points for drug 
administration and plasma sampling will be used.  
Details on the modeling approach will be described in a separate population PK-PD plan which 
will be developed in parallel with the ongoing Phase 3 study OP-103 (OCEAN TRIAL).  Data 
from other melflufen studies may be included in this analysis as appropriate.  
12.6.2 
Minimal Residual Disease 
The rate of positive and negative MRD evaluations will be summarized without analysis. 
12.7 
HANDLING OF DROP-OUTS AND MISSING DATA 
The SAP describes how drop-outs and missing data impact the calculation of the time to event 
variables.  Missing data will not be estimated or carried forward for any of the other summaries 
or analyses.  If only a partial date is available and is required for a calculation (e.g., time since 
diagnosis, time since most recent relapse, determination of whether a medication is concomitant 
or an AE is treatment-emergent), the date will be imputed.  Detail of the methods of imputation 
will be provided in the SAP.

13.2 
DATA SAFETY MONITORING COMMITTEE 
A DSMC will be convened for this study and will primarily act to safeguard the interests of 
study subjects, assess safety and efficacy data, and for monitoring the overall conduct of the 
study. The committee will consist ofthe lead global investigator, the Oncopeptides Medical 
Expert of the study, the CRO Medical Monitor and will be chaired by an independent multiple 
myeloma expert.  At the end of each cohort, the committee will meet and evaluate all the current 
safety data and make decisions regarding dose escalation or cohort expansion in the Phase 1 
component of the study.  The committee will also determine when the optimal dose has been 
reached and make recommendations on the Phase 2a dose and schedule.   The DSMC may 
provide recommendations for stopping or continuing the study or for alternate dose and 
schedule of a given Regimen after review of the data. The DSMC may also make 
recommendations related to the selection, recruitment, and retention of subjects, their 
management and the procedures for data management and quality control.  Additional details 
regarding the DSMC may be found in the Oncopeptides AB DSMC Charter.

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
finalization of the study report the results of this study will be either submitted for publication 
and/or posted in a publicly accessible database of clinical study results.  Any publication will 
be a joint publication between Oncopeptides AB and the investigators and authorship will be 
determined by mutual agreement. 
13.8 
STUDY DOCUMENTATION, RECORD KEEPING AND RETENTION OF 
DOCUMENTS 
Each participating site will maintain appropriate medical and research records for this trial, in 
compliance with Section 4.9 of the ICH E6 GCP, and regulatory and institutional requirements 
for the protection of confidentiality of patients.  As part of participating in an Oncopeptides AB 
sponsored study, each site will permit authorized representatives of the sponsor(s) and 
regulatory agencies to examine (and when required by applicable law, to copy) clinical records 
for the purposes of quality assurance reviews, audits and evaluation of the study safety and 
progress. 
Source data are all information, original records of clinical findings, observations, or other 
activities in a clinical trial necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation of the trial.  Examples 
of these original documents and data records include, but are not limited to, hospital records, 
clinical and office charts, laboratory notes, memoranda, patients’ diaries or evaluation 
checklists, pharmacy dispensing records, recorded data from automated instruments, copies or 
transcriptions certified after verification as being accurate and complete, microfiches, 
photographic negatives, microfilm or magnetic media, x-rays, and patient files and records kept 
at the pharmacy, at the laboratories, and medico-technical departments involved in the clinical 
trial. 
Data collection is the responsibility of the clinical trial staff at the site under the supervision of 
the site Investigator.  The study eCRF is the primary data collection instrument for the study. 
The investigator should ensure the accuracy, completeness, legibility, and timeliness of the data 
reported in the eCRFs and all other required reports.  Data reported on the eCRF, that are derived 
from source documents, should be consistent with the source documents or the discrepancies 
should be explained.  All data requested on the eCRF must be recorded. Any missing data must 
be explained. 
The investigator/institution should maintain the trial documents as specified in Essential 
Documents for the Conduct of a Clinical Trial (ICH E6 Section 8) and as required by applicable 
regulations and/or guidelines. The investigator/institution should take measures to prevent 
accidental or premature destruction of these documents. 
The Investigator must retain the study records for a minimum of 2 years after the last marketing 
application for the indication is approved in an ICH region or for 2 years after the Investigational 
new drug (IND) is withdrawn.  For IND studies conducted outside the US, the investigator must 
retain study records for the time period described above or according to local laws or 
requirements, whichever is longer. 
13.9 
CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDY DOCUMENTS AND PATIENT RECORDS 
The investigator must ensure anonymity of the patients; patients must not be identified by names 
in any documents submitted to Oncopeptides AB, their agents or Health Authorities.  Signed 
informed consent forms and patient enrollment log must be kept strictly confidential to enable 

Oncopeptides AB

Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
patient identification at the site.  Refer to Section 11.1 for additional details regarding patient 
confidentiality. 
13.10 
AUDITS AND INSPECTIONS 
Source data/documents must be available to inspections by Oncopeptides AB or designee or 
Health Authorities. 
13.11 
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES 
Financial disclosures should be provided by study personnel who are directly involved in the 
treatment or evaluation of patients at the site prior to study start. 
14 
PROTOCOL ADHERENCE 
Investigators ascertain they will apply due diligence to avoid protocol deviations. 
Notwithstanding the need for approval of formal protocol amendments, the investigator is 
expected to take any immediate action required for the safety of any patient included in this 
study, even if this action represents a deviation from the protocol.  In such cases, Oncopeptides 
AB or designated CRO should be notified of this action and the IRB/IEC at the study site should 
be informed according to local regulations. 
14.1 
AMENDMENTS TO THE PROTOCOL 
Any change or addition to the protocol can only be made in a written protocol amendment by 
Oncopeptides AB.  The amendment must be approved by the Health Authorities where required, 
and the IRB/IEC/REB before it may be implemented.  Only amendments that are required for 
patient safety may be implemented prior to IRB/IEC/REB approval.

Appendix C.  IMWG Uniform Response Criteria  
Daratumumab interference with determination of complete response 
Daratumumab is a human IgG kappa mAb that can be detected on both, the serum protein 
electrophoresis (SPE) and immunofixation (IFE) assays used for the clinical monitoring of 
endogenous M-protein. This interference can impact the determination of complete response 
and of disease progression in some patients with IgG kappa myeloma protein. As daratumumab 
is a monoclonal IgG kappa antibody, the SPEP and IFE can be positive for daratumumab. For 
patients with IgG kappa multiple myeloma with an SPEP at or below 0.2 g/dl on 2 or more 
consecutive cycles, or zero, but persistently positive IFE for IgG kappa on 2 or more occasions. 
The DIRA test must be completed.

Criteria 
  ≥ 25% but < 49% reduction of serum M protein and reduction in 
24-hour urine M protein by 50 – 89%, which still exceeds 200 
mg/24 hours. 
 In addition to above; if present at baseline, 25-49% reduction in 
the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas is also required 
 No increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions (development 
of compression fractures does not exclude response) 
Stable 
Disease (SD) 
 Not meeting criteria for CR, VGPR, PR, MR or progressive 
disease 
Progressive 
Disease 
(PD) 
Increase of > 25% from lowest response value in any one of the 
following: 
 Serum M-component (the absolute increase must be > 0.5 g/dL) 
and/or  
 Urine M-component (the absolute increase must be > 200 mg/24 
h) and/or  
 Only in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein, 
the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels. The 
absolute increase must be > 10 mg/dL 
 Only in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein 
and without measurable disease by FLC levels, bone marrow 
plasma cell percentage (absolute % must be ≥ 10%)  
 Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue 
plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing bone 
lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas 
 Development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum 
calcium > 11.5 mg/dL) that can be attributed solely to the plasma 
cell proliferative disorder 
 
All response categories (CR, sCR, VGPR, PR, MR, SD and PD) require two consecutive 
assessments made at any time before the institution of any new therapy; all response categories 
and SD also require no known evidence of progressive or new bone lesions if radiographic 
studies were performed.  VGPR and CR categories require serum and urine studies regardless 
of whether disease at baseline was measurable in serum, urine both or either.  Radiographic 
studies are not required to satisfy these response requirements. Bone marrow assessments need 
not be confirmed.  For progressive disease, serum M-component increases of ≥ 1 g/dL are 
sufficient to define relapse if starting M-component is ≥ 0.5 g/dL.

OP-104 
Protocol: Version 6.2, Amendment 8: May 05, 2021 
IMWG clarification for coding PD:  Clarified that Bone marrow criteria for PD are to be used 
only in patients without measurable disease by M protein and by FLC levels.  Clarified that 
25% increase refers to M protein, FLC, and bone marrow results and does not refer to bone 
lesions, soft tissue plasmacytomas or hypercalcemia.  Note the lowest response value does not 
need to be a confirmed value.  
Appendix D.  Line of Therapy Definition  
According to the IMWG Consensus panel 1 on uniform reporting criteria in clinical trials 
(Rajkumar, 2011, Rajkumar 2015), a line of therapy consists of at least 1 or more cycles of a 
planned treatment regimen.  This may consist of single-agent or combination therapy or a 
sequence of treatments administered in a planned manner.   For example, a planned induction, 
followed by ASCT followed by maintenance is considered one line of therapy.  A new line of 
therapy starts when a planned course is modified to include other treatment agents as a result of 
progression, relapse or toxicity or when a planned period of observation is interrupted by the 
need for additional treatment of the disease.    
Modification of drug doses or resuming therapy after holding will not be considered a new line 
of therapy provided that there was no evidence of progression of disease as defined in the 
IMWG-URC. 
The definition is further clarified by Rajkumar et al, 2015. 
A line of therapy consists of ≥1 complete cycle of a single agent, a regimen consisting of a 
combination of several drugs, or a planned sequential therapy of various regimens (eg, 3-6 
cycles of initial therapy with bortezomib-dexamethasone [VD] followed by stem cell 
transplantation [SCT], consolidation, and lenalidomide maintenance is considered 1 line). 
New line of therapy 
A treatment is considered a new line of therapy if any 1 of the following 3 conditions are met  
 Start of a new line of treatment after discontinuation of a previous line: If a treatment 
regimen is discontinued for any reason and a different regimen is started, it should be 
considered a new line of therapy. A regimen is considered to have been discontinued if 
all the drugs in that given regimen have been stopped. A regimen is not considered to 
have been discontinued if some of the drugs of the regimen, but not all, have been 
discontinued. 
 The unplanned addition or substitution of 1 or more drugs in an existing regimen: 
Unplanned addition of a new drug or switching to a different drug (or combination of 
drugs) due to any reason is considered a new line of therapy. 
 SCT: In patients undergoing >1 SCT, except in the case of a planned tandem SCT with 
a predefined interval (such as 3 months), each SCT (autologous or allogeneic) should 
be considered a new line of therapy regardless of whether the conditioning regimen 
used is the same or different. We recommend that data on type of SCT also be captured.

Appendix E.  Definition of Relapsed Disease  
This study will use the IMWG definitions: 
Refractory Myeloma:  
Refractory myeloma is defined as disease that is non-responsive (failure to achieve minimal 
response or develops PD while on therapy) while on primary or salvage therapy, or progresses 
within 60 days of last therapy. There are 2 categories of refractory myeloma. 
 Relapsed and refractory myeloma:  Relapsed and refractory myeloma is defined as 
disease that is non-responsive while on salvage therapy or progresses within 60 days of 
last therapy in patients who have achieved minimal response or better at some point 
previously to then progressing in their disease course. 
 Primary refractory myeloma: Refractory myeloma is defined as disease that is non-
responsive in patients who have never achieved minimal response or better with any 
therapy. It includes patients who never achieve MR or better in whom there is no 
significant change in M protein and no evidence of clinical progression; as well as 
primary refractory, progressive disease where patients meet criteria for true progressive 
disease.     
Relapsed myeloma: 
Relapsed myeloma is defined as previously treated myeloma, which progresses and requires the 
initiation of salvage therapy but does not meet the criteria for either primary refractory myeloma 
or relapsed and refractory myeloma (Rajkumar et al. 2011).
