Study Summary

This trial is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for multiple myeloma. A partial clinical hold has been placed on the trial by the FDA based on data related to risks of one of the drugs in the combination in patients with multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with active multiple myeloma who have tried at least two other treatments, including a lenalidomide and proteasome inhibitor, without success. They must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, free from certain severe health conditions like heart disease or uncontrolled infections, and cannot be current smokers or have had certain recent vaccinations.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to find the best dose and regimen of Durvalumab alone or combined with Pomalidomide and possibly Dexamethasone in those whose multiple myeloma has relapsed after previous treatments. It's an early-phase trial that was put on hold due to safety concerns but continues for those benefiting as per their doctor's judgment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, infusion-related symptoms, fatigue, blood disorders such as low counts leading to increased infection risk. Specific risks are associated with each drug: Durvalumab can cause organ inflammation; Pomalidomide may lead to blood clots; Dexamethasone could cause mood swings.
