A Study of Combination of Selinexor, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone (SPd) Versus Elotuzumab, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone (EloPd) in Subject With Previously Treated Multiple Myeloma

A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-label Trial of Selinexor, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone (SPd) Versus Elotuzumab, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone (EloPd) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Response Rate (ORR)	defined as any response ≥PR (i.e., PR [partial response], VGPR [very good partial response], CR ([complete response], or sCR [stringent complete response])	from screening until end of treatment/progressive disease (approximately up to 2 years)

Change in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire 30-item Core module (EORTC QLQ-C30) score and the difference between-treatment arms	The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire containing both single and multi-item measures. These include five functional scales (Physical, Role, Cognitive, Emotional, and Social Functioning), three symptom scales (Fatigue, Pain, and Nausea/Vomiting), a Global Health Status/ Quality-of-Life (QoL) scale, and six single items (Constipation, Diarrhea, Insomnia, Dyspnea, Appetite Loss, and Financial Difficulties). The scores ranges from 0-100, a high score for functional scales and for Global Health Status/QoL represent better functioning ability or Health-Related Quality-of-Life (HRQoL), whereas a high score for symptom scales and single items represents significant symptomatology.	screening, Day 1 of each treatment cycle (each cycle is 28 days), at end of treatment (up to 2 years)

The module comprises 20 questions that address four myeloma-specific HRQoL domains: Disease Symptoms, Side Effects of Treatment, Future Perspective, and Body Image. A high score for Disease Symptoms and Side Effects of Treatment represents a high level of symptomatology or problems, whereas a high score for Future Perspective and Body Image represents better outcomes.	screening, Day 1 of each treatment cycle (each cycle is 28 days), at end of treatment (approximately up to 2 years)
