What this trial studies

This study assesses the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of belantamab mafodotin monotherapy in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It compares patients with normal hepatic function to those with impaired hepatic function to understand how liver health affects the drug's performance. The study aims to gather data that could inform treatment decisions for patients with varying liver conditions. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma and have failed at least one prior treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and varying levels of hepatic function.

Not a fit: Patients who have not been previously treated for multiple myeloma or those with severe hepatic impairment may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the safe use of belantamab mafodotin for multiple myeloma patients with liver impairment.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with belantamab mafodotin in treating multiple myeloma, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
