A Phase I-Ib/II Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of AUY922 Alone and in Combination With Bortezomib, With or Without Dexamethasone, in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma.

Overview

This is a Phase I-Ib/II, open-label, multicenter study of AUY922 administered intravenously in patients with multiple myeloma to determine the maximum tolerated dose. The Phase II part will investigate the efficacy of AUY922 in patients with multiple myeloma. Additionally, the study includes a Phase Ib combination part of AUY922 administered in combination with bortezomib, to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination drugs in patients with multiple myeloma.

Full Title of Study: “An Open-label, Multi-center, Phase I-Ib/II Study of AUY922 Administered as Single Agent and in Combination With Bortezomib With or Without Dexamethasone in Adult Patients in Relapse or Refractory Multiple Myeloma.”
