This clinical trial is for subjects with multiple myeloma that has returned after treatment (relapsed) or did not respond to prior treatment (refractory). The study is in two parts, Phase I and Phase II. Phase I will determine the maximum tolerated dose of romidepsin in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The purpose of Phase II is to evaluate the effectiveness of combining romidepsin with pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The hypothesis is that overall response in a cohort of patients treated with romidepsin + pomalidomide + dexamethasone will be 60 percent.

(Lactating females must agree not to breast feed while taking pomalidomide.) * Subjects with any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which in the opinion of the Investigator places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study. * Use of any other experimental drug or therapy within 14 days of baseline. * Subjects with a history of development of erythema nodosum, if characterized by a desquamating rash, while taking thalidomide, lenalidomide, pomalidomide or similar drugs. * Concurrent use of other anti-cancer agents or treatment. * Concomitant use of CYP3A4 inhibitors (See Appendix D) * Prior therapy with romidepsin, thalidomide or pomalidomide * Central nervous system or meningeal involvement * Patients taking drugs leading to significant QT prolongation * Known hypersensitivity to thalidomide or lenalidomide

The best response was reported.

The study is in two parts, Phase I and Phase II. Phase I will determine the maximum tolerated dose of romidepsin in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

The hypothesis is that overall response in a cohort of patients treated with romidepsin + pomalidomide + dexamethasone will be 60 percent.
detailed Description
This phase I/II study is a treatment program for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Up to 48 patients will be enrolled. Phase I will follow a 3+3 dose escalation design to find the maximum tolerated dose of romidepsin in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone. In Phase I, subjects will receive: * Pomalidomide 4mg daily by mouth on days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle * Dexamethasone 40mg by mouth on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of a 28-day cycle * Romidepsin intravenously (9 mg/m2, 12 mg/m2, 15 mg/m2 or 18 mg/m2) on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Phase II will expand the number of subjects in the MTD arm of the trial until 48 subjects are enrolled. In Phase II, subjects subjects will receive: * Pomalidomide 4mg daily by mouth on days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle * Dexamethasone 40mg by mouth on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of a 28-day cycle * Romidepsin intravenously on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle at the Maximum Tolerated Dose determined by Phase I
