Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug combination for patients with relapsed-and-refractory multiple myeloma. The first part of the trial (phase 1b) will evaluate side effects and determine the best dose to use. The second part of the trial (phase 2) will look at the overall response rate to the new drug combination.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed-and-refractory multiple myeloma who have tried at least two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. They must not be eligible or interested in stem cell transplant and should have adequate organ function. Women of childbearing age must test negative for pregnancy and use effective birth control; men must also agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests ACY-1215 (Ricolinostat) combined with pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone. Phase 1b aims to find the safest dose with the fewest side effects, while Phase 2 evaluates how well this combination works in treating patients whose myeloma has returned after previous treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to blood counts like anemia or bleeding risks, liver issues indicated by elevated enzymes, potential nerve damage causing numbness or pain, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea, fatigue, increased risk of infections due to immune suppression.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Phase 1b: MTD and dosing schedule of ACY-1215 administered in combination with pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in patients with MM
Phase 2: Overall response rate of ACY-1215 in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed-and-refractory multiple myeloma
Secondary outcome measures
Phase 1b & 2: Safety assessed by type, frequency and severity of AEs and relationship of AEs to study drug
Phase 1b and 2: Efficacy assessed by time to response, duration of response, time to progression, progression free survival, and objective response as assessed by a central adjudication committee
Phase 1b: Exposure response of treatment including biomarkers relating to intracellular protein acetylation, protein levels, mRNA and microRA expression profiles.

Other outcome measures
Phase 2: Relationship between response to treatment and any cytogenetic abnormalities
