This was an open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of venetoclax combined with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) who received at least 1 prior line of therapy with documented evidence of progression during or after the participant's last treatment regimen. The study was designed to consist of 2 parts: Part 1 (dose escalation) and Part 2 (dose expansion). For Part 2 the participants were to be divided into 2 cohorts, participants positive for t(11;14) translocation and participants negative for t(11;14) translocation.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either reasonable possibility or no reasonable possibility. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. For more details on adverse events please see the Adverse Event section.
    measure
    Number of Participants With Adverse Events
    time Frame
    From first dose of study drug until 30 days following last dose of study drug (up to 70 weeks)
  2. description
    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants experiencing a stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) 2016 criteria for disease response and progression. CR= negative immunofixation of serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and \< 5% plasma cells in bone marrow; sCR= CR + normal serum free light chain (FLC) ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow; VGPR= serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-protein level + urine M-protein level \< 100 mg per 24 hours; PR= ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to \< 200 mg per 24 hours.
    measure
    Overall Response Rate (ORR)
    time Frame
    Approximately 15 months
secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    PFS is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose of any study drug to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. All disease progression was to be included regardless of whether the event occurred during or after the participant was taking any study drug.
    measure
    Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
    time Frame
    Approximately 20 months
  2. description
    DOR for a given participant is defined as the number of days from the date of that participant's first documented response (Partial Response \[PR\] or better) to the date of first documented disease progression (PD) or death due to multiple myeloma (MM), whichever occurs first. If the participant with a documented response did not have an event of PD and the participant had not died due to MM, the participant's data was to be censored.
    measure
    Duration of Response (DOR)
    time Frame
    Approximately 15 months
  3. description
    TTP for a given participant is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose to the date of first documented disease progression (PD) or death due to multiple myeloma (MM), whichever occurs first. If the participant did not have an event of PD and the participant had not died due to MM, the participant's data was to be censored.

Full study description
brief Summary
This was an open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of venetoclax combined with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) who received at least 1 prior line of therapy with documented evidence of progression during or after the participant's last treatment regimen. The study was designed to consist of 2 parts: Part 1 (dose escalation) and Part 2 (dose expansion). For Part 2 the participants were to be divided into 2 cohorts, participants positive for t(11;14) translocation and participants negative for t(11;14) translocation.
detailed Description
Following communication of the results of the primary progression-free survival (PFS) analysis from the Phase 3 BELLINI study (Study M14-031; NCT02755597), the company-sponsored MM studies were placed on partial clinical hold (PCH) in March 2019 by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration and enrollment was halted. The sponsor did not pursue release of the PCH for this study; therefore, enrollment was not re-opened. In accordance with the terms of the PCH, participants who were deriving clinical benefit were allowed to continue to receive treatment. One participant was still active in Part 1 of the study when the sponsor decided not to pursue release of the PCH (in January 2020) and, therefore, continued to receive treatment and have regular assessments until disease progression. The study was discontinued when the last participant completed study treatment. No participants were enrolled in Part 2 of the study.
