• - Patients with primary systemic amyloidosis or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or smoldering multiple myeloma.

• - Patients with active new thrombosis or disagree to take anticoagulant drugs, included but not limited to aspirin.

• - Other patients not appropriate for the trial in the judgment of the investigator.

The trial has two parts: firstly, to explore the maximum tolerated dosage(MTD) of bendamustine in the combination of pomalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma; secondly, to find out efficacy and safety of pomalidomide and bendamustine with dexamethasone in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in an expanded cohort.

Arms

Experimental: Phase I, Cohort 1

The combination of bendamustine, 60mg/m2, with pomalidomide and dexamethasone will be administrated in 6 relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients for 1 cycle. If dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in 2 or more of the six patients at the same dosing level while DLT is observed in only 1 or none of the 6 patients at the dosing level immediately below it, then the lower dosing level will be defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Experimental: Phase I, Cohort 2

The combination of bendamustine, 70mg/m2, with pomalidomide and dexamethasone will be administrated in 6 relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients for 1 cycle. If dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in 2 or more of the six patients at the same dosing level while DLT is observed in only 1 or none of the 6 patients at the dosing level immediately below it, then the lower dosing level will be defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Experimental: Phase I, Cohort 3

The combination of bendamustine, 80mg/m2, with pomalidomide and dexamethasone will be administrated in 6 relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients for 1 cycle. If dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in 2 or more of the six patients at the same dosing level while DLT is observed in only 1 or none of the 6 patients at the dosing level immediately below it, then the lower dosing level will be defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Experimental: Phase II

The combination of MTD dosage of bendamustine with pomalidomide and dexamethasone will be administrated in an expanded relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma cohorts for 8 cycles, then under the combination of pomalidomide and dexamethasone as maintenance therapy until progression or intolerable toxicities.
