Inclusion Criteria

101. Age = 18 years
102. Able to provide written informed consent in accordance with
federal, local,
and institutional guidelines
103. Relapsed multiple myeloma
104. Refractory multiple myeloma, defined as meeting 1 or more of the
following:
a. Nonresponsive to most recent therapy (stable disease or progressive
disease
[PD] while on treatment), or
b. Disease progression within 60 days of discontinuation from most
recent
therapy
105. At least 2, but no more than 3, prior lines of therapy for multiple
myeloma
106. Prior exposure to an IMiD
107. Prior exposure to a proteasome inhibitor (PI)
108. Documented response of at least partial response (PR) to at least 1
prior line of
therapy
109. Measurable disease, with at least 1 of the following assessed at a
central
laboratory within the 21 days prior to randomization:
a. Serum M-protein = 0.5 g/dL
b. Urine M-protein = 200 mg/24 hours
c. In subjects without measurable serum or urine M-protein, serum free
light
chain (SFLC) = 100 mg/L (involved light chain) and an abnormal serum
kappa:lambda ratio
110. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS)
of 0 or 1
111. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) = 40% within the 21 days
prior to
randomization
112. Adequate organ and bone marrow function performed at a central
laboratory
within the 21 days prior to randomization, defined by:
a. Bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
b. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase
(ALT)
< 3 times the ULN
c. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1 × 109/L (screening ANC must be
independent of growth factor support for = 7 days)
d. Hemoglobin = 8 g/dL (Use of erythropoietic stimulating factors and
red blood
cell [RBC] transfusions per institutional guidelines are allowed, however
the
most recent RBC transfusion may not have been done within 7 days prior
to
obtaining the screening hemoglobin.)
e. Platelet count = 50,000/mm3 (= 30,000/mm3 if myeloma
involvement in the
bone marrow is > 50%. Subjects must not have received platelet
transfusions
for at least 7 days prior to obtaining the screening platelet count.)
f. Calculated or measured creatinine clearance (CrCl) of = 30 mL/min.
Calculation must be based on the Cockcroft and Gault formula:
[(140 – Age) × Mass (kg) / (72 × Creatinine mg/dL)]; multiply result by
0.85
if female
113. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a confirmed
negative serum
pregna
