a. Urine M-protein excretion ≥200 mg/24 h, or
b. Serum M-protein concentration ≥0.5 g/dL (≥5.0 g/L), or
c. Serum free light chain (FLC) assay: involved FLC level ≥10 mg/dL (≥100 mg/L) and an abnormal serum free light chain ratio (<0.26 or >1.65) only if patient has no measurable urine or serum M spike.
7. Have undergone autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) or are considered transplant ineligible. Participants with a history of autologous SCT are eligible for study participation provided the following eligibility criteria are met:
a. Autologous SCT was >100 days prior to the first dose of study medication
b. No active bacterial, viral, or fungal infection(s) present
8. All prior treatment-related toxicities (defined by National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI-CTCAE] v5.0) must be ≤Grade 1 at the time of enrolment, except for alopecia.
9. Adequate organ system functions as defined by the laboratory assessments listed in the protocol
10. Female Participants:
Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies:
Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP)
OR
Due to pomalidomide being a thalidomide analogue with a risk for embryofetal toxicity and prescribed under a pregnancy prevention/controlled distribution programme, WOCBP participants will be eligible if they commit either to abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or use two methods of reliable birth control (one method that is highly effective plus an additional barrier method), beginning 4 weeks prior to initiating treatment with pomalidomide, during therapy, during dose interruptions and continuing for at least 4 weeks following discontinuation of pomalidomide treatment. Thereafter, WOCBP participants must use one contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year) for a further 8 months for WOCBP in Arm A, and 5 months for WOCBP in Arm B.
All WOCBP must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period.
The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
Two negative pregnancy tests must be obtained prior to initiating pomalidomide therapy in Arm A and Arm B. The first test should be performed within 10-14 days and the second test within 24 hours prior to prescribing pomalidomide therapy.
The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention are provided in Section 10.3 and the SoA.
11. Male Participants:
Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to specific criteria - full details in the protocol.
