Eligibility

Relapsed and refractory t(11;14) Multiple Myeloma (RRMM)

Inclusion criteria:

2. Subjects must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of = 2

3. Subjects must voluntarily sign and date an in-formed consent form

4. Subjects must have had documented multiple myeloma requiring treatment as defined by the criteria below:

Monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow > 10% and/or presence of a biopsy proven plasmacytoma at some point in their disease history requiring treatment according diag-nostic criteria (IMWG updated criteria 2014, Rajkumar et al. 2014) with measurable dis-ease at screening (serum M-protein > 500 mg/dL or urine M protein 200 mg/24h, in case of oligosecretory MM serum free light chain > 10mg/dL and abnormal kap-pa/lambda free light chain ratio)

5. Cytogenetics/FISH confirming t(11;14)

6. Prior treatment requirements:

Phase 1:

1. Subjects must have received at least 4 prior treatments (induction, high-dose, consolida-tion and maintenance is considered as one treatment line) and are refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, at least one im-munomodulatory drug and at least one mon-oclonal anti CD38 antibody.

2. Subjects must have documented evidence of progressive disease during their last treat-ment.

Phase 2:

3. Subjects must have received at least 1 prior treatment line (induction, high-dose, consoli-dation and maintenance is considered as one treatment line). All patients must have received at least one proteasome inhibitor and at least one immunomodulatory agent and at least one anti CD38 monoclonal anti-body.

4. Subjects must have documented evidence of progressive disease on or after the last treatment line.

Phase 1+2 e. Subjects with a history of autologous SCT are eligible for study participation provided the following eligibility criteria are met: i. ASCT was >100 days prior to initiating study treatment, and ii. No active bacterial, viral, or fungal in-fection(s) present.

7. Subjects must have adequate organ function, defined as follows:

a. Hemoglobin =8.0 g/dL (without transfusion of red blood cells for the past 14 days) b. Absolute neutrophil count = 1.5 x109/L (with-out growth factor support for the past 14 days) c. Platelet count more or equal 75 x109/L (with-out growth factor or platelet stimulating agents for the past 14 days) d. Adequate hepatic function per local laborato-ry reference range as follows: i. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) = 2,5 x upper limit of normal (ULN); ii. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 2.5 x ULN iii. Total bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN, except in subjects with congenital bilirubinemia, such as Gilbert syndrome (direct bili-rubin = 1.5 x ULN). Isolated bilirubin =1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%.

e. Subjects must have adequate renal function as demonstrated by eGFR =30 mL/min/ 1.73 m2 as calculated by Modified Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula f. Spot urine (albumin/creatinine ratios (spot urine) <500 mg/g (56 mg/mmol) OR Urine Dipstick Negative/trace (if 1+ only eligible if confirmed <500 mg/g (56 mg/mmol) by albumin/creatinine ratio (spot urine from first void) g. Corrected serum calcium = 14 mg/dL (=3,5 mmol/L); or free ionized calcium ? 6,5 mg/dL (?1,6 mmol/L)
