Study Description

Brief Summary: This research study is studying a combination of study drugs as a possible treatment for relapsed and refractory Multiple Myeloma. The interventions involved in this study are elotuzumab, pomalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone.

Detailed Description: This research study is a phase II clinical trial, the investigators are studying the safety and response rate of the combinations of elotuzumab, pomalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone (elo-PVD). The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved each of those drugs elotuzumab, pomalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone as a treatment option for Refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma. Pomalidomide is a drug that changes that enhances or suppresses your immune systems reaction to a stimulus.This change may help the body destroy tumor cells. Bortezomib is an inhibitor that targets how cells dispose of unneeded proteins. By blocking this process, bortezomib can help destroy unwanted cells. Dexamethasone is a steroid, that helps prevent inflammation in a wide variety of organs and acts against myeloma cells. Elotuzumab is a monoclonal antibody, Elotuzumab targets a protein that is highly common on the surface of multiple myeloma cells called SLAMF7. The combination of the drugs may provide an unique approach for treating the disease.
