Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Phase I, Cohort 1

The combination of bendamustine, 60mg/m2, with pomalidomide and dexamethasone will be administrated in 6 relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients for 1 cycle. If dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in 2 or more of the six patients at the same dosing level while DLT is observed in only 1 or none of the 6 patients at the dosing level immediately below it, then the lower dosing level will be defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall response rate [At the end of Cycle 8 in Phase II (each cycle is 28 days)]

      The number of patients achieving partial response (PR), very good partial response (VGPR), complete response (CR) or stringent complete response (sCR) after 8 cycles in phase II. sCR = CR as defined in Primary Outcome measure 2 plus normal free light chain ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence. CR- Negative immunofixation on serum and urine and disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas and < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow. VGPR = Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or > 90% reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein level < 100 mg/24 h. PR- > 50% reduction of serum M-protein and urine M-protein by >90% or to < 200 mg/24 h In addition, if present at baseline, a > 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas is also required.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Complete response(CR) and stringent complete response(sCR) rate [At the end of Cycle 8 in Phase II (each cycle is 28 days)]

      The CR and sCR rate after 8 cycles in phase II. CR- Negative immunofixation on serum and urine and disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas and < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow. sCR = CR as defined in Primary Outcome measure 2 plus normal free light chain ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence.

    2. Progression free survival(PFS) [Through study completion, up to 2 years]

      The time relapsed for patients between initiation of study therapy and either disease progression or death

    3. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 [Through study completion, up to 2 years]
