Evidence of a response (partial response [PR] or better based on investigator’s determination of response by IMWG criteria) to at least 1 prior treatment regimen. 4. Relapsed or refractory disease as defined below: a) Relapsed disease is defined as an initial response to previous treatment, followed by confirmed PD by IMWG criteria greater than (>) 60 days after cessation of treatment. b) Refractory disease is defined as less than (<) 25 percent (%) reduction in M-protein or confirmed PD by IMWG criteria during previous treatment or > 60 days after cessation of treatment. 5.

A single line of therapy may consist of 1 or more agents, and may include induction, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and maintenance therapy. Radiotherapy, bisphosphonate, or a single short course of corticosteroids (no more than the equivalent of dexamethasone 40 mg/day for 4 days) would not be considered prior lines of therapy OR Refractory to both a PI and an IMiD. For subjects who have received more than 1 type of PI, their disease must be refractory to the most recent one. Similarly, for those who have received more than 1 type of IMiD, their disease must be refractory to the most recent one. 6. Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2 7.

Women of childbearing potential must commit to either abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of reliable birth control simultaneously. This includes one highly effective form of contraception (tubal ligation, intrauterine device, hormonal [birth control pills, injections, hormonal patches, vaginal rings or implants] or partner's vasectomy) and one additional effective contraceptive method (male latex or synthetic condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap). Contraception must begin 4 weeks prior to dosing. Reliable contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of infertility, unless due to hysterectomy. 9. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening within 14 days prior to randomization. 10. Each subject (or their legally acceptable representative) must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study. Subjects must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol, as referenced in the ICF. |
