Belantamab mafodotin, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (BelaRd) in newly diagnosed intermediate-fit and frail myeloma. (PubMed, Blood) - P1/2 | "Overall, BelaRd is an effective regimen for transplant-ineligible NDMM patients and warrants a phase 3 study in this setting. OAEs' impact to quality of life appears limited and implementation of the hematologist-led VRA tool may eventually reduce the necessity for ophthalmologist assessments."

Phase II trial of belantamab mafodotin, carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in multiple myeloma following BCMA CAR T-cell therapy (ASH 2025) - "Four patients received cilta-cel, five patients receivedinvestigational BCMA CAR T-cell therapies, and two patients received both; all patients responded to eachCAR T administered.The ORR was 9/11 (82%) meeting the statistical threshold for efficacy. Bela-KPd utilizing less frequent dosing of Bela led to a favorable efficacy and safety profile,even among patients with prior BCMA CAR T-cell therapy and carfilzomib and pomalidomiderefractoriness. Bela-KPd is a promising regimen for patients following relapse after BCMA CAR T-celltherapy.Partial funding and study drug were provided by GSK and Amgen (ClinicalTrials.gov identifierNCT05789303)."

Antibody-Drug Conjugates, T-Cell Engager Bispecific Antibodies and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells for Multiple Myeloma: What's the Current Status? (PubMed, Target Oncol) - "This has resulted in European Medicines Agency and US Food and Drug Administration approval of agents targeting the B-cell maturation antigen: antibody-drug conjugate belantamab mafodotin (belantamab), bispecific T-cell engaging antibodies teclistamab, elranatamab and linvoseltamab, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell products idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel). Talquetamab, a bispecific T-cell engaging antibody targeting G protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member D has also been approved by the European Medicines Agency and Food and Drug Administration. With increasing availability of these agents, knowledge on the efficacy and safety of these novel treatments will be essential for future multiple myeloma care. In this narrative review, we discuss the pivotal trials, current real-world evidence and recent insights in the mechanisms of resistance of antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific T-cell engaging antibodies and..."

Salvage Therapies After Anti-BCMA CAR-T Failure in Patients With Multiple Myeloma: A Meta-Analysis of Response Rates. (PubMed, Eur J Haematol) - "In the first-line setting, selinexor-based regimens yielded the highest overall response rates (ORR) of 67% (95% CI: 38%-91%), followed by bsAbs (60%; 95% CI: 43%-76%). In the combined setting, anti-GPRC5D CAR-T cells achieved the highest ORR (88%; 95% CI: 65%-100%), followed by anti-BCMA CAR-T cells (75%; 95% CI: 42%-98%). Belantamab mafodotin demonstrated the lowest efficacy (0%; 95% CI: 0%-17%)...In summary, our meta-analysis suggested that CAR-T cells and bsAbs are suitable for salvage use after anti-BCMA CAR-T failure in MM.

SAFETY AND PRELIMINARY EFFICACY OF BMS-986393, A GPRC5D CAR T CELL THERAPY, IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED/REFRACTORY (RR) MULTIPLE MYELOMA (MM) AND 1–3 PRIOR REGIMENS: FIRST RESULTS FROM A PHASE 1 STUDY (EHA 2024) - P1 | "After leukapheresis, pts received lymphodepleting chemotherapy (fludarabine/cyclophosphamide) followed bya single infusion of BMS​986393 150 × 106 CAR T cells...One pt (3%) had a prior BCMA-targeted therapy (belantamab mafodotin)... Initial results suggest a single infusion of BMS-986393 is safe and demonstrates promising preliminary efficacyin pts with MM and 1–3 prior regimens. While follow-up is limited, the safety profile of BMS-986393 at 150 x106 CAR T cells was favorable with no new safety signals. High response rates were achieved."

Clinical Outcomes of Subsequent Therapies in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Following Talquetamab Treatment: Analyses from the Phase 1/2 MonumenTAL-1 Study (ASH 2023) - P1, P2 | "In the QW and Q2W cohorts, respectively, 74.1% and 69.0% were triple-class refractory, 29.4% and 23.4% were penta-drug refractory, and 15.4% and 11.0% had prior belantamab mafodotin exposure. Pts from MonumenTAL-1 who discontinued tal were effectively treated with several classes of therapy. Subsequent treatment with T-cell redirection therapies appears feasible, with 25.0% of pts achieving a complete response or better with CAR-T therapy post tal. Further investigation in larger pt populations is warranted to better understand the sequencing of T-cell redirecting therapies after tal to optimize outcomes."

Belantamab for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma: Results from Part 1 of the First-in-Human Phase 1/2 DREAMM-20 Trial (IMS 2025) - P1 | "Introduction: Belantamab mafodotin (belamaf) is a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)–targeted monoclonal antibody (mAb) conjugated with a monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF) payload. Belantamab had a favorable safety profile, with no DLTs, TRAEs leading to discontinuation, or grade ≥2 corneal events associated with belantamab. Encouraging preliminary clinical activity was observed, with durable responses occurring across dose levels in this heavily pretreated, triple class−exposed population. These findings support the potential of belantamab to provide clinical activity with an acceptable safety profile."

Health-related quality of life with belantamab mafodotin in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM): An exploratory analysis of overall quality of life in dreamm-7 (ASH 2025) - P3 | "In DREAMM-7 (NCT04246047), belamaf with bortezomib and dexamethasone (BVd) significantlyprolonged progression-free survival and overall survival vs daratumumab, bortezomib, anddexamethasone (DVd) in patients with RRMM who received ≥1 prior line of therapy. Despite being common with belamaf, ocular events did not have a meaningful impact onHRQOL. Notably, in patients with bilateral worsening of BCVA to 20/50 or worse, HRQOL was maintained,likely due to the transient nature of ocular events and their management with dose reductions anddelays, which have been shown to improve tolerability while maintaining efficacy. The significant efficacybenefits of belamaf prolonged time to deterioration in disease-specific symptoms and physicalfunctioning, including self-care and walking."
