Study Summary

This trial is testing whether an experimental drug is safe and effective when used with other drugs to treat cancer of the plasma cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with multiple myeloma involving the central nervous system who've had prior treatments including an IMiD and a proteasome inhibitor. They must not be pregnant, agree to follow specific safety programs, have measurable disease levels, and can't have severe heart conditions or active infections. People with recent major surgeries or those on certain drugs are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests marizomib's safety and effectiveness combined with standard care drugs dexamethasone and pomalidomide in treating multiple myeloma. Participants will receive these medications to see if this combination helps control their cancer better than current treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, nausea, nerve damage (neuropathy), blood clots, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, allergic reactions to the medication components, liver issues like hepatitis B reactivation, and other organ-related inflammations.

Group I: Marizomib plus pomalidomide and dexamethasoneExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
A safety run-in using a modified 3+3 dose de-escalation design with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) cohort, expanded to a total of 16 participants once recommended phase 2 does (RP2D) has been identified. Marizomib (MRZ) at a pre-determined dose on Days 1, 8, 15, 22 of a 28 day study cycle Pomalidomide (POM) at a daily predetermined dose on Days 1-21 of a 28 day study cycle Dexamethasone (DEX) at a daily predetermined dose on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 of a 28 day study cycle Simultaneously, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with central nervous system (CNS) involvement cohort will receive an identical modified 3+3 dose de-escalation design and expanded to an efficacy-evaluable total of 30 patients once recommended phase 2 does (RP2D has been identified
