Experimental: ION251
In Part 1, the dose escalation phase, increased amounts of ION251 will be administered at multiple time points by intravenous (IV) infusion during 28-day cycles. In Part 2, the determined RP2D of ION251 will be administered at multiple time points by IV infusion.

Drug: ION251
ION251 administered by IV infusion |
- Maximum-Tolerated Dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days from the last dose of study drug in Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) ]MTD is defined as the maximum dose at which ≤ 1 of 3 evaluable participants experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) within Cycle 1 and there are 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 evaluable participants in the next higher-dose level experiencing a DLT within Cycle 1. If no dose in the dose-escalation has 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 evaluable participants experiencing a DLT, the highest dose level is considered the MTD
- Recommended Phase 2 Dose (PR2D) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days from the last dose of study drug ]RP2D is chosen based on the dose response and exposure-response analyses of the pooled clinical PK, PD, safety results, and anti-myeloma activity from both Part 1 and Part 2
- Safety and Tolerability as Measured by the Incidence of TEAEs [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days from the last dose of study drug ]
- Incidence of Abnormal Laboratory Values and Vital Signs [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days from the last dose of study drug ]
- Cmax: Maximum Observed Concentration ION251 [ Time Frame: From Baseline up to 28 days from the last dose of study drug ]
- AUC[0-t]: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Hour zero to t of ION251 [ Time Frame: From Baseline up to 28 days from the last dose of study drug ]
- t1/2: Distribution Half-life of ION251 [ Time Frame: From Baseline up to 28 days from the last dose of study drug ]
- Trough Concentration of ION251 [ Time Frame: From Baseline up to 28 days from the last dose of study drug ]
- Urine 0-24 Hour (hr) Excretion of ION251 [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months from the last dose of study drug ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Aged ≥ 18 years at the time of informed consent
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Measurable multiple myeloma (MM)
- In need of systemic treatment for MM and either is refractory to or has failed treatment with, is intolerant to or has refused, or is not otherwise a candidate in the opinion of the Investigator, for any of the currently available established therapies known to provide clinical benefit in relapsed/refractory MM. Refractory to treatment is defined as documented MM disease progression while on or within 60 days from the last dose (LD) of treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
-

- Total bilirubin > 1.3 × ULN
- Absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1.0 1000/cubic millimeter (k/mm^3)
- Platelet count < 50 k/mm^3
- Hemoglobin < 8.0 g/dL
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 50 milliliters per minute (mL/min)/1.73 square meter (m^2)
- Urine albumin creatinine ratio > 100 mg/g
- History of or current plasma cell leukemia, POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, and skin changes) syndrome, solitary bone or extramedullary plasmacytoma as the only evidence for plasma cell dyscrasia, myelodysplastic syndrome or a myeloproliferative neoplasm
- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic pressure ≥ 160 mm of mercury (mm Hg) and/or diastolic pressure ≥ 100 mm Hg)
- Presence of a bleeding disorder or an underlying disease state associated with active bleeding.
