opinion of the investigator.
- - HIV: undetectable HIV viral load and CD4 counts >200 for >6 months on continuous
antiretroviral therapy may be screened.
- - Hepatitis B: If HbcAb positive and HBV PCR-, may be screened.
- - Hepatitis C: if completed anti-viral therapy and in sustained virological response >6
months, may be screened.
- - Tuberculosis: Quantiferon or skin prick test positive but with negative chest imaging.
- - (CXR or CT) and asymptomatic, may be screened.
- - Note: A line of therapy consists of ≥1 complete cycle of a single agent, a regimen
consisting of a.
- - combination of several drugs, or a planned sequential therapy of various regimens3.
- - A treatment is considered a new line of therapy if any one of the following three
conditions are met:
- Start of a new line of treatment after discontinuation of a previous line: if the
treatment regimen is discontinued for any reason, and a different regimen is started,
it should be considered a new line of therapy.
A regimen is considered to have been
discontinued if all the drugs in that given regimen have been stopped. The regimen is
not considered to have been discontinued if some of the drugs of the regiment, but not
all, have been discontinued.
- - The unplanned addition or substitution of one or more drugs in an existing regimen:
Unplanned addition of a new drug, or switching to a different drug, or combination of
drugs due to any reason, is considered a new line of therapy.
- - Stem cell transplant (SCT): In patients undergoing >1 SCT, except in the case of a
planned tandem SCT with a predefined interval such as 3 months, each SCT (autologous
or allogeneic, should be considered a new line of therapy, regardless of whether the
conditioning regime used is the same or different.
Exclusion Criteria:
- - Active plasma cell leukemia at screening (>5% plasma cells by standard differential),
Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia, PEOMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly,
endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein and skin changes), known active or prior CNS
involvement or exhibits meningeal signs (extradural skull or spinal mass causing
extrinsic mass effect is not excluded) or clinically significant amyloidosis.
- - History of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), or other cellular

limited to:

enrollment.

prolongation of QT/QTc interval (eg, repeated demonstration of a QTc interval >470
msec) using Fredericia's QT correction formula, or who have a history of additional
risk factors for TdP (eg, heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT

signing the informed consent form through 90 days after the last dose of study
drug. For women, examples of highly effective contraceptives include A) user
independent methods: 1. implantable progesterone only hormonal contraception 2.
intrauterine device/intrauterine hormone releasing system 3. vasectomized partner
B) user dependent methods: 1. combined estrogen and protestor hormonal
contraception (oral intravaginal or transdermal) 2. progesterone only hormone
contraception (oral or injectable). For men, highly effective barrier method of
contraception include
- - condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository
