Title

Study of Melphalan Flufenamide (Melflufen) in Combination With Daratumumab in Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase 3 multicenter study which will enroll patients that have Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma and are double refractory to an Immunomodulatory Drug (IMiD) and a Proteasome Inhibitor (PI) (regardless of the number of prior lines of therapy), or have received at least 3 prior lines of therapy including an IMiD and a PI.

Patients will receive treatment of melflufen+dexamethasone+daratumumab or daratumumab until documented progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity or patient/treating physician decision. Patients in the daratumumab treatment arm will after confirmed progressive disease have the option to receive treatment with melflufen+dexamethasone+daratumumab.
