Phase 1 will be an open-label study. The dose escalation portion of the study is designed to establish the MTD of ibrutinib in combination with carfilzomib with or without dexamethasone.
Phase 2b will be an open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the overall response rate when ibrutinib is administered in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone.

- Phase 1 [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ibrutinib in combination with carfilzomib with and without dexamethasone and the recommended phase 2 dose.
- To describe the toxicities associated with the combination of ibrutinib and carfilzomib with and without dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM).
- Phase 2b [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- To evaluate the overall response (ORR) of ibrutinib in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone.
- Phase 1 [ Time Frame: Up to 48 months ]Overall response rate (ORR).
- Phase 1 [ Time Frame: Up to 48 months ]Duration of Response (DOR)
- Phase 2b [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]PFS
- Phase 2b [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]DOR
- Phase 2b [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Overall Survival (OS)
