About This Trial

To increase the conversion rate from MRD-positive to MRD-negative CR in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) receiving post-transplant maintenance therapy with belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Myeloma Multiple and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 94 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Myeloma Multiple subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma status post 1st auto-HCT (day 60 - 180 post-transplant). - Disease status (MRD positive or negative), partial response, or better. - Age \> 18-year and 75-year. Non-English speaking patients are eligible. - Karnofsky performance status 70 (Appendix A.). - your organs (liver, kidneys, etc.) are working well enough based on blood tests (Please see Table 2. below). Participant agrees to not donate blood while taking lenalidomide and for 28 days after stopping lenalidomide. - Patient agrees to enroll in the lenalidomide REMS program. - Woman of child-bearing potential (WOCPB) must abstain from hetersosexual sexual contact or agrees to use a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of \<1% per year), preferably with low user dependency (as described in Appendix C), plus one additional effective method at least 28 days before starting therapy (for lenalidomide), during the intervention period, at least 28 days after the last dose of lenalidomide and at least 4 months after the last dose of belantamab mafodotin, and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relation to the first dose of the study intervention. A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test (as required by local regulations) within 10-14 days and also within 24 hours before the first dose of the study intervention. Nonchildbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons): - ≥ 45 years of age and has not had menses for \>1 year. - Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for \<2 years without a history of a hysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle-stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
