The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy and to generate PK and biomarker data for the combination of pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in patients with refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The study consists of a Screening phase within 28 days prior to cycle 1 day 1, a Treatment phase and a Follow-up phase which starts within 28 days of discontinuation from study treatment, every 3 months for up to 5 years. In addition, the collection of steady-state PK data from a large population will enable robust population PK and assess Pomalidomide exposure response analyses. The exploratory objectives of the study are to investigate potential markers predictive of POM response or resistance and pharmacodynamic markers.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject's health, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (i.e., any significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a pre- existing condition) was considered an AE. The severity of AEs were graded based on the symptoms according to version 4.0 of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Second primary malignancies were monitored as events of interest and considered as part of the assessment of AEs. A SAE = AE occurring at any dose that: * Results in death; * Is life-threatening * Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity * Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect

secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    Overall response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants with a stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR) or partial response (PR) according to the International Myeloma Working Group uniform response criteria (IMWG URC) assessed by the Investigator. Responses must have been confirmed at at least 2 consecutive assessments before the institution of any new therapy with no known evidence of progressive or new bone lesions

    Response was assessed at each treatment cycle and at treatment discontinuation; median duration of treatment with pomalidomide and LD-dex was 21.4 weeks
  3. description
    Duration of response, calculated for responders only, was defined as time from the initial documented response (SCR, CR, VGPR or PR) to the first confirmed disease progression, or death if no disease progression was recorded. Participants without a documented progression were censored at the time of their last tumor assessment.

    Progression free survival was calculated as the time from study enrollment, defined as the IVRS enrollment date, until either PD or death (any cause). Participants without an event (either a documented PD or death) at the time of study end were censored at the time of their last documented disease assessment or at the IVRS enrollment date if no disease assessment was conducted.
