Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Must be ≥ 18 years of age

- Subjects must have documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma and have measurable
disease

- Subjects must have undergone prior treatment with ≥ 2 treatment lines of anti-myeloma
therapy

- Subjects must have either refractory or relapsed and refractory disease defined as
documented disease progression during or within 60 days of completing their last
myeloma therapy

- All subjects must have received at least 2 consecutive cycles of prior treatment that
included lenalidomide and bortezomib

- All subjects must have failed treatment with both lenalidomide and bortezomib in one
of the following ways: 1) Documented progressive disease on or within 60 days of
completing treatment with lenalidomide and/or bortezomib, or 2) In case of prior
response [≥ partial response (PR)] to lenalidomide or bortezomib, subjects must have
relapsed within 6 months after stopping treatment with lenalidomide and/or
bortezomib-containing regimens, or 3) Subjects who have not had a ≥ minimal response
(MR) and have developed intolerance/toxicity after a minimum of two cycles of
lenalidomide- and/or bortezomib-containing regimen

- Patients must have received adequate prior alkylator therapy

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2

- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must not become pregnant for 28 days prior to
initiation of study drug, during the study, and for 28 days after discontinuation

- Females must agree to abstain from breastfeeding during study participation and 28
days after study drug discontinuation

- Males must agree to use a latex condom during any sexual during the study and for 28
days following discontinuation from this study

- Males must also agree to refrain from donating semen or sperm while on pomalidomide
and for 28 days after discontinuation from this study

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any of the following laboratory abnormalities:

cell transplant

- Subjects who are planning for or who are eligible for stem cell transplant

- Subjects with any one of the following: 1) Congestive heart failure, 2) Myocardial
infarction within 12 months prior to starting study treatment, 3) Unstable or poorly
controlled angina pectoris, including Prinzmetal variant angina pectoris

- Subjects who received any of the following within the last 14 days of initiation of
study treatment: 1) Plasmapheresis, 2) Major surgery, 3) Radiation therapy, 4) Use of
any anti-myeloma drug therapy

- Use of any investigational agents within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer)
of treatment

- Subjects with conditions requiring chronic steroid or immunosuppressive treatment

- Any condition including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the
subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study

- Incidence of gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of
pomalidomide

- Subjects unable or unwilling to undergo antithrombotic prophylactic treatment

- Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that
would prevent the subjects from signing the informed consent form

- Pregnant or breastfeeding females

- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity or active infectious hepatitis A,
