Brief Summary

This research is being done to test whether the investigational drug marizomib is safe and effective when used in combination with standard of care drugs for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 2 single-arm study, incorporating two cohorts and using the combination of marizomib plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients and in RRMM patients with CNS involvement.

This research study involves a three drug chemotherapy regimen which includes taking the study drug marizomib, as well as pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved marizomib as a treatment for any disease. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved pomalidomide and dexamethasone as a treatment option for multiple myeloma.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits. As the study is looking for the highest dose of the study drug that can be administered safely without severe or unmanageable side effects in participants that have multiple myeloma, not everyone who participates in this research study will receive the same dose of the study drug. The dose received will depend on the number of participants who have been previously enrolled in the study and how well participants have tolerated their doses. Participants will receive study treatment for as long as participants do not have serious side effects and their disease does not get worse.

It is expected that about 48 people will take part in this research study.

Study Groups

Marizomib plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone

A safety run-in using a modified 3+3 dose de-escalation design with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) cohort, expanded to a total of 16 participants once recommended phase 2 does (RP2D) has been identified.

• Marizomib (MRZ) at a pre-determined dose on Days 1, 8, 15, 22 of a 28 day study cycle
• Pomalidomide (POM) at a daily predetermined dose on Days 1-21 of a 28 day study cycle
• Dexamethasone (DEX) at a daily predetermined dose on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 of a 28 day study cycle

Simultaneously, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with central nervous system (CNS) involvement cohort will receive an identical modified 3+3 dose de-escalation design and expanded to an efficacy-evaluable total of 30 patients once recommended phase 2 does (RP2D has been identified

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Previously diagnosed with MM based on standard IMWG criteria and currently requires treatment.
• Patients in the CNS-involved cohort must have CNS involvement of MM as defined by meningeal myelomatosis and/or radiological evidence of leptomeningeal disease and/or intracranial plasmacytoma involving brain parenchyma.
• Patients in the CNS-involved cohort must have received at least one or more previous lines of therapy including an IMiD and a proteasome inhibitor and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy.
• Patients in the RRMM cohort must have received at least two or more previous therapies including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy.
• Patients in the RRMM cohort must have measurable disease defined as at least one of the following:

• Serum M protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL (≥5 g/L)
• Urine M protein ≥200 mg/24 hours
• Serum free light chain (FLC) assay: Involved FLC assay ≥10 mg/dL (≥100 mg/L) and an abnormal serum FLC ratio (<0.26 or >1.65)
• Screening Laboratory evaluations within the following parameters

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000 cells/dL (1.0 x 109/L) (Growth factors cannot be used within 14 days before first drug administration)
• Platelet count ≥ 75,000 cells/dL (75 x 109/L) (without transfusions required during the 14 days prior to initiation of therapy)
• Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dl (RBC transfusions are permitted)
• Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome, who can have total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dL)
• AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 3.0 x ULN
• Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 45 mL/min
• ECOG performance status ≤2 (Karnofsky ≥60%, see Appendix A)
• All study participants must be registered into the mandatory POMALYST REMS® program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of the POMALYST REMS® program.
• Females of reproductive potential must adhere to the scheduled testing as required in the POMALYST REMS® program.
• Able to take aspirin (81 or 325 mg) daily as prophylactic anticoagulation (patients intolerant to ASA may use warfarin or low molecular weight heparin).
• Patients have given voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedures not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to their future medical care.
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria

• Prior exposure to marizomib. and primary refractoriness to pomalidomide or a pomalidomide combination. Prior pomalidomide exposure is permitted but patients must have shown tolerance (defined as no grade 3 or greater non-hematologic toxicity), as well as responsiveness to pomalidomide-based therapy (defined as MR or better).
