Brief Summary
This study is designed as a phase I-II, open label, dose finding study. Study treatment will be as follows, in 28 day cycles:
- Pomalidomide: once daily orally (PO) dosing on days 1-21, every 28 days
- Bendamustine: once intravenously (IV) dosing on day 1, every 28 days
- Dexamethasone: weekly PO or IV dosing on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. After completing 6 cycles of treatment, dexamethasone may be decreased to 20mg per investigator discretion. After completing 12 cycles of treatment, patients will proceed to the maintenance phase of the study. Patients will receive Pomalidomide on day 1-21, every 28 days and dexamethasone on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 every 28 days until time of progression.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Maximum Tolerated Dose of Pomalidomide and Bendamustine
In the phase I dose escalation portion, patients will be sequentially enrolled in 4 cohorts at dose levels in a standard 3+3 design until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached. Cohort 1 (bendamustine 120mg/m2 + pomalidomide 3mg); Cohort 2 (bendamustine 120mg/m2 + pomalidomide 4mg); Cohort 3 (bendamustine 150mg/m2 + pomalidomide 4mg); Cohort 4 (bendamustine 180mg/m2 + pomalidomide 4mg) 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).
2 cycles (approximately 2 months)
Initial Response Rate
The number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Response is defined by the International Myeloma Working Group as: CR- Negative immunofixation on serum and urine and disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas and \< 5% plasma cells in bone marrow PR- \> 50% reduction of serum M-protein and urine M-protein by \>90% or to \< 200 mg/24 h In addition, if present at baseline, a \> 50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas is also required VGPR - Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but n

Study Arms (3)
Cohort 1: benda 120mg + pom 3mg
EXPERIMENTAL* Pomalidomide: once daily oral (PO) dosing on days 1-21, every 28 days * Bendamustine: once intravenous (IV) dosing on day 1, every 28 days * Dexamethasone: weekly PO or IV dosing on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 every 28 days
Cohort 2: benda 120mg + pom 4mg
EXPERIMENTAL* Pomalidomide: once daily oral (PO) dosing on days 1-21, every 28 days * Bendamustine: once intravenous (IV) dosing on day 1, every 28 days * Dexamethasone: weekly PO or IV dosing on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 every 28 days
Expansion
EXPERIMENTAL* Pomalidomide 3mg: once daily oral (PO) dosing on days 1-21, every 28 days * Bendamustine 120 mg: once intravenous (IV) dosing on day 1, every 28 days * Dexamethasone: weekly PO or IV dosing on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 every 28 days
Interventions
Bendamustine will be administered intravenously over 1 hour (if using Treanda) or over 10 minutes (if using Bendeka) on day 1, every 28 days for 12 cycles.
Pomalidomide will be administered once daily orally (PO) on days 1-21, every 28 days until disease progression or death.
Dexamethasone will be administered weekly orally or intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 every 28 days until disease progression or death. After 6 cycles of treatment, the dose may be reduced to 20mg at investigator's discretion. For subjects ≥ 75 years of age, the starting dose of dexamethasone is 20 mg/day on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day treatment cycle.
