Detailed Description

This is the initial study of TH-302 in subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. It is an open-label dose-escalation study to determine the DLTs, MTD, safety and preliminary efficacy of TH-302 and dexamethasone with a Simon two-stage expansion at the MTD. The study will also investigate the DLTs, MTD, safety and preliminary efficacy of TH-302, dexamethasone and bortezomib; and the DLTs, MTD, safety and preliminary efficacy of TH-302, dexamethasone and pomalidomide. As such, the study is separated into four parts. Treatment will be administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or 12 cycles (Arm A, Arm B and Arm C) or 9 cycles (Arm D) have been completed.

Women of childbearing potential must enroll into and follow all requirements of the POMALYST REMS program, which includes adhering to the scheduled pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a latex or synthetic condom during sexual contact with women of child bearing potential even if they have had a vasectomy. All subjects must be counseled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure, or when a female patient misses her period or if there is any abnormality in her menstrual bleeding. 11.

Exclusion Criteria Subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria are not eligible to be enrolled in this study: 1. POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy and skin changes.) 2. Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia 3. Localized radiation therapy to only measurable disease site(s) within 2 weeks of treatment 4. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV, cardiac disease, myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Day 1, or unstable arrhythmia 5.
