2 Background POM is a distinct oral immunomodulatory agent whose MOA consists of 3 primary effects 1 : Potent direct antimyeloma activity Inhibition of stromal cell support Immune modulation When combined with LoDEX, POM has demonstrated encouraging clinical efficacy in relapsed and refractory patients (pts) treated with prior LEN and/or BORT 2 Combining an immune modulator (LEN), a proteasome inhibitor (BORT), and DEX has shown preclinical synergy as well as promising efficacy both as frontline and salvage treatment in myeloma pts 3-5 BORT, bortezomib; DEX, dexamethasone; LEN, lenalidomide; LoDEX, low-dose dexamethasone; MOA, mechanism of action; Pts, patients; POM, pomalidomide. 1.

15 Future Directions MPD identified with this trial will serve as the recommended dose for the recently activated phase 3 trial comparing PVD vs BORT + LoDEX (VD) [MM-007] Estimated sample size: 782 RR MM pts Enrolment is anticipated to begin shortly Observed activity of PVD in RR MM provides a strong rationale for the use of POM in different combinations Phase 1/2 trials are ongoing in RR MM evaluating POM + steroids in combination with CFZ, CYC, clarithromycin, PLD BORT, bortezomib; CFZ, carfilzomib; CYC, cyclophosphamide; DEX, dexamethasone; LoDEX, low-dose dexamethasone; MTD, maximum tolerated dose; POM, pomalidomide; PLD, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin; PVD, pomalidomide-bortezomib-dexamethasone; RR MM, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
