Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: LGH447
Eligible patients will be treated with oral LGH447 until disease progression or occurrence of unacceptable toxicity.
|
Drug: LGH447 |
Experimental: LGH447 and midazolam
Eligible patients will receive midazolam on two separate days, the first dose will be administered prior to the start of LGH447 and the second will be co-administered with LGH447. After that, the patients will continue to be treated with oral LGH447 until disease progression or occurrence of unacceptable toxicity.

Drug: LGH447 Drug: midazolam |
- Estimate the MTD and/or RDE [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Incidence rate of dose limiting toxicity
- Number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events. [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Adverse events are defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgment of investigators represent significant hazards.
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) effects of LGH447 [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Summary of PK parameters such as AUC, Cmax,
- Pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of LGH447 [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Changes between pre and post treatment levels in bone marrow aspirates and whole blood.
- Anti-Myeloma activity associated with LGH447 [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Overall Response Rate (ORR), Duration of Response (DOR), and Progression Free Survival (PFS) based on International Myeloma Working Group Response Criteria.
- Effect of multiple-doses of LGH447 on the PK of midazolam [ Time Frame: 6 months ]PK parameters of midazolam and 1-hydroxymidazolam, such as AUC and Cmax, as well as metabolic ratio of midazolam.
