Overview

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center phase Ⅲ bridging clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of Motixafortide (BL-8040) + G-CSF vs placebo + G-CSF mobilized hematopoietic stem cells for autologous transplantation in Chinese patients with multiple myeloma.

13. Has an active or uncontrolled infection requiring systemic therapy.
14. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment.
15. Is currently participating and/or receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment.
16. O2 saturation \< 92% (on room air).
17. Personal history or family history of Long QT Syndrome or Torsade de Pointes.
