The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone to the combination of bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This study will also assess how safe the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone is compared to the combination of bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone.

  1. description
    Progression free survival (PFS) will be calculated as the time between the randomization and progressive disease (PD) or death. Progressive Disease is defined as an Increase of ≥ 25% from nadir in: * Serum M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be ≥ 0.5 g/dL)g * Urine M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be ≥ 200 mg/24 hours) * In patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels, the absolute increase must be \> 100 mg/dL. * Bone marrow plasma cell percentage, the absolute % must be ≥ 10%h * Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas. -Development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium \> 11.5 mg/dL or 2.65 mmol/L) that can be attributed solely to the plasma cell proliferative disorder.
