Am I Eligible?

The following criteria is a partial list of reasons why patients may or may not be eligible to participate in this clinical trial. Further evaluation with a medical professional will be required to determine full eligibility.

The following criteria is provided for health care professionals.

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma following at least 2 prior therapies which must include at least one immunomodulatory drug (e.g., thalidomide, lenalidomide or pomalidomide) and one proteasome inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib or carfilzomib). Patients must not be candidates for regimens known to provide clinical benefit.
  2. Measurable disease defined by 1 or more of the following:
    • Serum monoclonal protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL
    • Urine monoclonal protein >200 mg/24 hour
    • Serum immunoglobulin free light chain >10 mg/dL AND abnormal kappa/lambda ratio (reference 0.26-1.65)
  3. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥30 mL/min as assessed by CKD-epi, MDRD or the Cockcroft-Gault Equation
  4. Age ≥18 years.
  5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1 or 2.
  6. Females of child-bearing potential* must have a negative pregnancy test.
  7. Males and females of child-bearing potential* must agree to the use of effective contraception (e.g., oral contraceptives, IUCD, barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal jelly) or abstinence during the study and for 30 days after the last dose.
  8. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 x 109 /L, hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL, and platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L.
  9. Adequate hepatic function, with bilirubin < 1.5 x the ULN, and AST and ALT < 2.5 x ULN.
  10. Patient has or is willing to have a central venous catheter for drug administration.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any concurrent treatment that would compromise the study including but not limited to:
    • Planned concurrent treatment for multiple myeloma other than bisphosphonates
    • Ongoing corticosteroids for indications other than multiple myeloma allowed as long as the dose does not exceed 10 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent
    • Persisting effects of any previous or ongoing treatment ≥ grade 1 that might compromise delivery of study treatment or assessment of adverse events (except alopecia or neuropathy ≤ grade 2 without pain)
  2. Any cytotoxic or biologic therapy less than 2 weeks prior to initiation of therapy.
  3. Pregnant or breast feeding females.
  4. Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes.
  5. Known active hepatitis B or C infection or HIV infection.
  6. Significant cardiovascular disease with NYHA Class III or IV symptoms, or hypertrophic cardiomegaly, or restrictive cardiomegaly, or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment, or unstable angina, or unstable arrhythmia.
  7. QTc interval >460 msec (males) or >470 msec (females); or repeated demonstration of a QTc interval >450 msec.
  8. A history of additional risk factors for torsade de pointes (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome).
  9. The use of concomitant medications that prolong the QT/QTc interval.
  10. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise compliance of study requirements or put the patient at unacceptable risk.
  11. Active infection requiring systemic treatment within one week prior to first dose.
  12. Major surgery within 1 month prior to enrollment.
  13. Use of any investigational agent within the last 28 days. For classes of investigational agents that are not known to have prolonged toxicities the wash-out time may be decreased to 14 days after agreement with the Medical Monitor.
  14. History of other malignancy (apart from basal cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervix carcinoma) except if the patient has been free of symptoms and without active therapy for at least 2 years.
  15. Known intolerance to steroids or H1/H2-antagonists.
  16. Serum calcium (corrected for albumin) level above the ULN range (treatment of hypercalcemia is allowed and subject may enroll if hypercalcemia returns to normal with standard treatment).
  17. Diagnosed with plasma cell leukemia, POEMS syndrome or amyloidosis.
