Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a dose finding pilot study to evaluate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of carfilzomib and pomalidomide with dexamethasone (CPD) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma followed by a phase II expansion at the MTD to evaluate efficacy.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Multiple Myeloma	Drug: Carfilzomib; Drug: Pomalidomide; Drug: Dexamethasone	Phase 1; Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a dose finding pilot study to evaluate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of carfilzomib and pomalidomide with dexamethasone (CPD) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma followed by a phase II expansion at the MTD to evaluate efficacy. The study will explore the efficacy of CPD including overall response, time to progression, progression free survival, and time to next therapy.

The patient must agree to inform his physician if he has had unprotected sexual contact with a female who can become pregnant or if he thinks for any reason that his sexual partner may be pregnant.
• Male pts cannot donate semen or sperm while taking pomalidomide and for 28 days after completing the study.
