Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will investigate the effects of adding carfilzomib to the combination of pomalidomide and dexamethasone in sequential dose escalation cohorts in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This portion of the study is complete.

This study will also investigate the effects of adding daratumumab to the combination of carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients receive carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in 28 days treatment cycles. Study treatment continues for as long a their myeloma does not worsen and they do not have unacceptable side effects. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for up to 2 years.
