E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Males and females at least 18 years of age; 2. Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure; 3. Subject must have measurable disease of MM as defined by the criteria below: - IgG multiple myeloma: Serum M protein level ≥1.0 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours, or - IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM multiple myeloma: Serum M-protein level ≥0.5 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours; or - Light chain multiple myeloma, for subjects without measurable disease in the serum or urine: Serum immunoglobulin free light chain (FLC) ≥10 mg/dL and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda FLC ratio; 4. Subjects must have received prior anti-myeloma treatment. The prior treatment must have included both a PI- and lenalidomide-containing regimens. The subject must have had a response (ie, PR or better based on the investigator’s determination of response as defined by the modified IMWG criteria) to prior therapy; 5.Subjects must have documented evidence of PD based on the investigator’s determination of response as defined by the modified IMWG criteria on or after the last regimen; 6. Subjects who received only 1 line of prior treatment must have demonstrated PD on or within 60 days of completion of the lenalidomide containing regimen (ie, lenalidomide refractory); 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of ≤ 2; 8. Willingness and ability to participate in study procedures; 9. For subjects experiencing toxicities resulting from previous therapy, the toxicities must be resolved or stabilized to ≤Grade 1; 10. All of the following laboratory test results during Screening: a) Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 × 109/L; b) Hemoglobin level ≥7.5 g/dL (≥4.65 mmol/L) (transfusions are not permitted to reach this level); c) Platelet count ≥75 × 109/L in subjects in whom <50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells and platelet count ≥50 x 109/L in subjects in whom ≥50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells (transfusions are not permitted to reach this level); d) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); e) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level ≤2.5 x ULN; f) Total bilirubin level ≤1.5 x ULN, (except for Gilbert Syndrome: direct bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN); g) Creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min (Appendix 6); h) Serum calcium corrected for albumin ≤14.0 mg/dL (≤3.5 mmol/L), or free ionized calcium ≤ 6.5 mg/dL (≤1.6 mmol/L); 11. Criterion (letter “g”) modified per Amendment 2: 11.1 Reproductive Status a) Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have 2 negative serum or urine pregnancy tests, one 10-14 days prior to start of study treatment and one within 24 hours prior to the start of study treatment. Females are not of reproductive potential if they have been in natural menopause for at least 24 consecutive months, or have had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy; b) Women must not be breastfeeding; c) WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for methods of contraception for 4 weeks before the start of study treatment, for the duration of study treatment, and for 3 months after cessation of daratumumab or 4 weeks after cessation of pomalidomide, whichever is longer; d) Males who are sexually active must always use a latex or synthetic condom during any sexual contact with females of reproductive potential, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy. They must also agree to follow instructions for methods of contraception for 4 weeks before the start of study treatment, for the duration of study treatment, and for a total of 3 months post-treatment completion; e) Male subjects must not donate sperm for up to 90 days post-treatment completion; f) Female subject must not donate eggs for up to 90 days post-treatment completion; g) Azoospermic males and WOCBP who are not heterosexually active are exempt from contraceptive requirements. However, WOCBP will still undergo pregnancy testing as described in this section. Highly effective methods of contraception have a failure rate of < 1% when used consistently and correctly. Subjects must agree to the use of 2 methods of contraception, with 1 method being highly effective and the other method being additionally effective. Because of the embryo-fetal risk of pomalidomide, all subjects must adhere to the pomalidomide pregnancy prevention program applicable in their region. Investigators should comply with the local label for pomalidomide for guidance on subject education and ensure that all subjects adhere to the local Pomalidomide Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. When no local pomalidomide REMS program exists, subjects must adhere to the pomalidomide Global Pregnancy Prevention Plan. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Previous therapy with any anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody; 2. Previous exposure to pomalidomide; 3. Subject has received anti-myeloma treatment within 2 weeks or 5 pharmacokinetic half-lives of the treatment, whichever is longer, before the date of randomization. The only exception is emergency use of a short course of corticosteroids (equivalent of dexamethasone 40 mg/day for a maximum of 4 days) for palliative treatment before Cycle 1, Day 1 (C1D1); 4. Previous allogenic stem cell transplant; or autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) within 12 weeks before C1D1; 5.

Criterion modified per Amendment 2: 9.1 Known: a) Active hepatitis A b) To be seropositive for hepatitis B (defined by a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]). Subjects with resolved infection (ie, subjects who are positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen [antiHBc] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen [antiHBs]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (antiHBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR. c) To be seropositive for hepatitis C (except in the setting of a sustained virologic response, defined as aviremia at least 12 weeks after completion of antiviral therapy). 10.

Subject has had major surgery within 2 weeks before randomization, or has not fully recovered from an earlier surgery, or has surgery planned during the time the subject is expected to participate in the study or within 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug administration. Note: subjects with planned surgical procedures to be conducted under local anesthesia may participate. Kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty are not considered major surgery; 17.
