Study Description

Brief Summary: This study is intended to investigate the combination of the combination of dexamethasone (Decadron®), Clarithromycin (Biaxin®), and pomalidomide (CC-4047®) \[ClaPd\] in multiple myeloma patients who have relapsed or refractory disease who have failed prior treatment with lenalidomide when used alone or in combination with corticosteroids. Primary endpoint will be response rate to treatment. Secondary endpoints will include toxicity of the combination, time to maximum response, and time to disease progression

Detailed Description: This phase II study is a treatment program for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have had prior treatment with lenalidomide. Up to 54 patients will be enrolled. Patients who sign informed consent form and fulfill all eligibility criteria will be enrolled. ClaPd therapy: Dexamethasone (40mg ) on days 1, 8, 15, 22 of a 28-day cycle. Clarithromycin given orally at a dose of 500 mg twice a day on days 1-28 of a 28 day cycle. Pomalidomide will be given 4mg daily for days 1-21 of each 28 day cycle. Serial clinic visits and laboratory measurements will be performed to monitor for treatment response. Those patients who demonstrate progression of disease at any point during ClaPd therapy will be taken off study. At the end of every cycle (which may coincide with day 1 of the new cycle), response and toxicity will be evaluated. During cycle 1, patients will have labwork done weekly (CBC with differential and blood electrolytes). All patients will remain on study until disease progression or side effects become excessive. Patients who achieve a stable plateau may be taken off study if eligible to proceed to high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.
