daratumumab (humax®-cd38) safety study in multiple myeloma

Conditions: Multiple Myeloma

Summary: establishment of safety profile of humax-cd38 when given as monotherapy in participants with multiple myeloma relapsed from or refractory to at least 2 different cytoreductive therapies and without further established treatment options.

this study is conducted in two parts. in part i, participants are enrolled into cohorts at increasing dose levels. participant safety and efficacy during part i will determine the doses used for part ii. in part ii participants will be enrolled into one of two sequential treatment arms using two of the doses defined in part 1 of the study. part ii was 5 cohorts, 3 with 8 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) and 2 with 16 mg/kg. part i and all but the last cohort in part ii were dosed with phase 1/ 2 drug product. the last cohort in part ii was dosed with phase 3 drug product. both part i and part ii are open-label/unmasked.
