Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a randomized phase II open label study of daratumumab, weekly low-dose oral cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone with or without pomalidomide in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The study consists of two arms. Patients will be randomized into ARM A and ARM B in a 1:1 ratio. In treatment ARM A patients will receive daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone and pomalidomide as per the following schedule: Daratumumab, IV, at 16 mg/kg, or Daratumumab, SC, at 1800 mg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for Cycles 1 and 2, on Days 1 and 15 for Cycles 3-6, and Day 1 of each cycle for Cycle 7 and beyond for each 28-day cycle. Cyclophosphamide, orally, at 400 mg on Days 1, 8, 15 of each 28-day cycle. In order to prevent myelotoxicity and bladder toxicity, cyclophosphamide will be discontinued after cycle 24. Dexamethasone orally at 20 mg on day of daratumumab administration (pre-daratumumab) and 20 mg on the following day. On weeks without daratumumab administration, 40 mg dexamethasone weekly. Pomalidomide, orally, at 4 mg on Days 1- 21 of each 28-day cycle. In treatment ARM B, patients will receive daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone and pomalidomide as per the following schedule: Daratumumab, IV, at 16 mg/kg, or Daratumumab, SC, at 1800 mg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for Cycles 1 and 2, on Days 1 and 15 for Cycles 3-6, and Day 1 of each cycle for Cycle 7 and beyond for each 28-day cycle. Cyclophosphamide, orally, at 400 mg on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. In order to prevent myelotoxicity and bladder toxicity, cyclophosphamide will be discontinued after cycle 24. Dexamethasone at 20 mg orally on day of daratumumab administration (pre-daratumumab) and 20 mg on the following day. On weeks without daratumumab administration, 40mg dexamethasone weekly. Pomalidomide, orally, added at first progression at 4 mg on Days 1- 21 of each 28-day cycle. Individual subjects will remain on treatment as long as there is no evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or patient/physician decision to discontinue. Disease assessment as determined by the Site Investigator will be made according to the IMWG response criteria guidelines for MM.

(These baseline laboratory studies for determining eligibility must be obtained during the screening period within 28 days prior to start of study drug): Serum monoclonal paraprotein (M-protein) ≥ 10 g/L (if IgG) or ≥5g/L (if IgA, D, E or M) Urine M-protein ≥ 200 mg/24 h Serum free light chains (FLC) assay: Involved FLC level ≥ 100 mg/L and an abnormal serum free light chain ratio (< 0.26 or > 1.65). Relapsed or relapsed and refractory disease defined as documented disease progression during or after completing their last treatment line and it must have contained either a proteasome inhibitor and/or lenalidomide. The only exception for non-refractory patients is when re-treatment with these agents is medically contra-indicated. Have undergone at least 1 prior line of therapy.

Subjects with resolved infection (ie, subjects who are HBsAg negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen [anti-HBs]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR. Seropositive for hepatitis C (except in the setting of a sustained virologic response [SVR], defined as aviremia at least 12 weeks after completion of antiviral therapy). Known allergies, hypersensitivity to mannitol, corticosteroids, monoclonal antibodies or human proteins, or their excipients (refer to the Daratumumab PM), or known sensitivity to mammalian-derived products.
