Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity and efficacy of MP0250 in combination with bortezomib + dexamethasone in patients with refractory and relapsed multiple myeloma (RRMM).

MP0250 is a multi-DARPin® drug candidate with three specificities, able to simultaneously neutralize the activities of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and also to bind to human serum albumin (HSA) to give an increased plasma half-life and potentially enhanced tumor penetration.

8. Significant concurrent, uncontrolled medical condition including, but not limited to, severe wound healing complication, renal (except related to MM), hepatic, hematological except MM, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, neurological, cerebral or psychiatric disease

9. Acute active infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antiviral (except antiviral therapy directed at hepatitis B) or antifungal agents within 14 days prior to screening

10. Clinical signs of or documented leptomeningeal or cerebral involvement of MM

11. Treatment with ixazomib as last line of therapy in Part 2

12. Therapy with approved or investigational anticancer therapeutics within 21 days (or in the case of nitrosureas, within 6 weeks) prior to treatment (except anti-myeloma treatment with a carfilzomib- or bortezomib-based regimen in Part 2) Note: Patients must have recovered from pre-existing, treatment-related adverse events to Grade 1 or lower

No new therapy with bisphosphonate/RANKL inhibitor is allowed during the study

18. Radiation therapy within 2 months of Cycle 1, Day 1 is not permitted Except for local low-dose, palliative radiation to bone lesions for pain control.

19. Patients who have received treatment with any non-marketed product within 21 days prior to treatment start

20. Current participation in any other interventional clinical study

21. Patients known or suspected of not being able to comply with a study protocol (e.g. due to alcoholism, drug dependency or psychological disorder)

• Not receiving or not responding to anti-viral therapy.

• HCV RNA detected

23. Patients with contraindication to dexamethasone or bortezomib according to the applicable local product label
