The phase II, multicenter study looked at the combination of melflufen and Dexamethasone (Ozurdex) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who were refractory to pomalidomide (Pomalyst), daratumumab (Darzalex), or both.

The safety profiles showed that most toxicities were grades 1 and 2. Expected adverse events like suppression of blood counts, hair loss, mucositis, and peripheral neuropathy were either manageable or did not occur.
