Inclusion Criteria

• Provide signed written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.
• Male or female, 20 years or older (at the time consent is obtained).
• ECOG performance status of 0 to 2.
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma as defined according to IMWG 2014, criteria in a participant who fulfills all of the following: has undergone stem cell transplant, or is considered transplant ineligible, Part 1: has received at least 2 prior lines of anti-myeloma drugs containing at least 1 proteasome inhibitor and at least 1 immunomodulator, Part 2: has received at least 1 prior line of anti-myeloma drugs; has demonstrated progression on, or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy.
• Has measurable disease with at least one of the following: serum M-protein >=0.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) (>=5 grams per liter [g/L]); Urine M-protein >=200 mg/24 hours; Serum free light chain (FLC) assay: Involved FLC level >=10 mg/dL (>=100 mg/L) and an abnormal serum FLC ratio (<0.26 or >1.65).
• Participants with a history of autologous stem cell transplant are eligible for study participation provided the following eligibility criteria are met: Transplant was >100 days prior to study enrolment; No active infection.
• Female participants: Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breast feeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or For Part 1 and Part 2 Arm A: Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1 percent per year), preferably with low user dependency, during the treatment period and for 4 months after the last dose of GSK2857916, and 7 months from the last dose of bortezomib (only Part 2 Arm A), and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study treatment. A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test (as required by local regulations) within 72 hours before the first dose of study treatment and agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 4 months after the last dose of GSK2857916, and 7 months from the last dose of bortezomib (only Part 2 Arm A); For Part 2 Arm B: Due to pomalidomide being a thalidomide analogue with risk for embryo-fetal toxicity and prescribed under a restricted distribution program, WOCBP participants will be eligible if they commit either to abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of reliable birth control, beginning 4 weeks prior to initiating treatment with pomalidomide, during therapy, during dose interruptions and continuing for 4 weeks following discontinuation of pomalidomide treatment. Thereafter, WOCBP participants must use a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1 percent per year) for a further 3 months, and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period. Two negative pregnancy tests must be obtained prior to initiating pomalidomide therapy. The first test should be performed within 10 to 14 days and the second test within 24 hours prior to prescribing pomalidomide therapy. The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
• Male participants: Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following from the time of first dose of study treatment until 6 months after the last dose of GSK2857916, 4 months after the last dose of bortezomib (only Part 2 Arm A), and 4 weeks after the last dose of pomalidomide (only Part 2 Arm B) to allow for clearance of any altered sperm: Refrain from donating sperm plus either: Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent; or must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed: Agree to use a male condom even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy and female partner to use an additional highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of <1 percent per year as when having sexual intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential (including pregnant females).
• All prior treatment-related toxicities (defined by National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 4.03, must be <=Grade 1 at the time of enrolment except for alopecia. Participants with Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy can be enrolled into Part 1 and Part 2 Arm B but not into Part 2 Arm A.
• Adequate Organ System Function. Exclusion Criteria
• Systemic anti-tumor-therapy within 14 days, or plasmapheresis within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.

• Use of an investigational drug within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, preceding the first dose of study treatment. Prior treatment with a monoclonal antibody within 30 days of receiving the first dose of study treatment. Prior BCMA targeted therapy.
• History of an allogeneic stem cell transplant.
• Current use of prohibited medications/device or planned use of any of these during the study period.
• Current corneal epithelial disease except mild punctate keratopathy

• Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases.
• Malignancies other than disease under study are excluded, except for any other malignancy from which the participant has been disease-free for more than 2 years and, in the opinion of the investigators and Medical Monitor, will not affect the evaluation of the effects of this clinical study treatment on the currently targeted malignancy (multiple myeloma).

  3. History of myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes (including unstable angina), coronary angioplasty, or stenting or bypass grafting within 6 months of Screening.

• Positive hepatitis C antibody test result or positive hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study treatment. Participants with positive hepatitis C antibody due to prior resolved disease can only be enrolled, if a confirmatory negative hepatitis C RNA test is obtained. Hepatitis RNA testing is optional and participants with negative hepatitis C antibody test are not required to also undergo hepatitis C RNA testing.
