DREAMM-20: This study aims to determine the recommended dose level, safety and effectiveness of a drug called belantamab when given alone and in combination with other treatments in people with multiple myelomaA Phase 1/2 Open-label, Multicentre, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Clinical Activity of Belantamab as Monotherapy and in Combination With Other Treatments in Participants With Multiple Myeloma

Clinical summary

Summary

This study has three parts.

Part 1 - Dose Escalation Phase in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM): In this part, belantamab (bela) will be administered in participants with RRMM until progressive disease (PD). Participants may switch to Belamaf in case of PD.

Part 2 - Combination Treatments in participants with RRMM: In this part, participants with RRMM will receive Bela-xRd and Belamaf-xRd. The combination treatment xRd includes lenalidomide (R) and dexamethasone (d). x will be either a standard of care (SoC) or an emerging treatment for Multiple Myeloma.

Part 3 - Combination Treatments in participants with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (TI-NDMM): In this part, participants with TI-NDMM will receive Bela-xRD and Belamaf-xRd.
