Summary

This trial will compare two different combinations of drugs to see which is more effective in treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who've had at least one prior therapy including lenalidomide, and have measurable disease. They must be in relatively good health (ECOG 0-2), possibly post-autologous stem cell transplant, and not have severe ongoing side effects from previous treatments. Excluded are those with certain infections, unstable liver or kidney conditions, recent heart issues or thromboembolism, active bleeding disorders, other cancers unless stable for 2 years, hypersensitivity to trial drugs or their components.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of belantamab mafodotin combined with pomalidomide and dexamethasone against a combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone in treating multiple myeloma that has come back or didn't respond to treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include eye problems like blurry vision (belantamab mafodotin specific), blood clots due to anti-thrombotic prophylaxis requirements, nerve damage potentially causing pain or numbness (peripheral neuropathy), increased risk of infection due to immune system suppression by the drugs used.
