This clinical trial is testing a combination of two study drugs, daratumumab and carfilzomib, with two standard drugs, pomalidomide and dexamethasone, to treat multiple myeloma that has returned or is resistant to previous treatments.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This study is exploring a new treatment combination for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or is not responding to previous treatments. The treatment includes two study drugs, daratumumab and carfilzomib, and two standard drugs, pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease in patients who have already tried other therapies.

Description

This is a Phase II study involving multiple centers, where researchers are testing a combination of daratumumab, carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or resistant multiple myeloma. Participants must have tried at least one previous treatment and have been treated with both lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor before. The study involves screening for eligibility, receiving the study treatment, and attending follow-up visits. A total of 43 participants will be enrolled. It's important to note that the FDA has not yet approved daratumumab and carfilzomib for treating multiple myeloma.
