Summary

This study tested a combination of pomalidomide and dexamethasone in 63 patients with multiple myeloma that had returned or stopped responding to treatment, and who had specific high-risk genetic changes. The goal was to see how well the drugs controlled the disease and what side effects occurred. The results help doctors understand if this treatment can slow cancer growth in this difficult-to-treat group.
