Belantamab mafodotin with standard myeloma medicines for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Official title: A Phase 2, Multicenter, Open Label, Non-randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Extended Dosing of Belantamab Mafodotin in Different Combinations With Standard of Care Regimens in Participants With Relapsed-refractory Multiple Myeloma (DREAMM-15)

Run by GlaxoSmithKline · NCT07227311 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether giving belantamab mafodotin less often together with standard myeloma medicines helps adults whose multiple myeloma has come back or stopped responding.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with confirmed multiple myeloma that has relapsed or is refractory after 1–2 prior lines of therapy, with ECOG performance status 0–2 and measurable disease, are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with more than two prior myeloma regimens, without measurable disease, with poor performance status, or with significant preexisting ocular disease are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 trial gives adults with relapsed‑refractory multiple myeloma belantamab mafodotin on an extended dosing schedule combined with one of three standard backbones (pomalidomide‑dexamethasone, bortezomib‑dexamethasone, or carfilzomib‑dexamethasone). Participants must have had 1–2 prior lines of therapy and measurable disease and will be treated at GSK investigational sites in the United States. The study will collect tumor response, duration of response, progression‑free survival, and safety data with particular attention to eye‑related adverse events. Investigators will compare tolerability and anti‑myeloma activity on the extended schedule to expected outcomes to see if less frequent dosing reduces ocular toxicity without losing effectiveness.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could keep anti‑myeloma effectiveness while reducing eye‑related side effects and improving overall tolerability.

How similar studies have gone: Previous DREAMM studies and other trials of belantamab mafodotin have shown anti‑myeloma activity but also frequent eye toxicity, which has motivated testing of extended or modified dosing schedules.

* Received prior B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted therapy.
