New treatment option for Multiple Myeloma
Official title Study of Belantamab Mafodotin With Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05789303
What this study is testing
What is Belantamab mafodotin?
Belantamab mafodotin is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for multiple myeloma.
Also referred to as Blenrep.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Doctors leading this study hope to learn if the combination of belantamab mafodotin, carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone is effective and safe when given to people who have multiple myeloma that has gotten worse and is not responding to standard drugs that are used for treating multiple myeloma, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. Participation in this research will last about 6 -24 months, but it may be less or more depending on your response to treatment.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
