Description:

This is an open-label Phase 1/2a study which will enroll patients that have relapsed or relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma following 1-4 lines of prior therapy. Patients will receive either melflufen+dexamethasone+bortezomib or melflufen+dexamethasone+daratumumab and are required to be IMiD refractory to be enrolled to the bortezomib regimen, and to not have any prior exposure to daratumumab or other antiCD-38 mAb to be enrolled to the daratumumab regimen.
