About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial for Evaluation of Alternate Doses and Dosing Schedules of Belantamab Mafodotin in Triple-Class Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial tests alternate doses and dosing schedules of belantamab mafodotin in treating patients with triple-class multiple myeloma that has come back (after a period of improvement) (recurrent) and/or does not respond to treatment (or that has not responded to previous treatment) (refractory). Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. This trial may help researchers determine if alternate doses and dosing schedules work better in preventing certain side effects, such as eye toxicity, and treating patients with recurrent or refractory multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the grade 3/4 keratopathy-free rate at the time of dose #4 of an alternative dose/dosing schedule of belantamab mafodotin in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the overall response rate (ORR; partial response or better) of an alternative dose/dosing schedule of belantamab mafodotin in patients with RRMM.

II. To assess the safety of an alternative dose/dosing schedule of belantamab mafodotin in patients with RRMM.

III. To assess the time to progression (TTP) of an alternative dose/dosing schedule of belantamab mafodotin in patients with RRMM.

IV. To assess the progression free survival (PFS) with an alternative dose/dosing schedule of belantamab mafodotin in patients with RRMM.

  1. To assess the overall survival (OS) with an alternative dose/dosing schedule of belantamab mafodotin in patients with RRMM.

VI. To assess the minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate in patients who have achieved a complete response (CR) with an alternative dose/dosing schedule of belantamab mafodotin.

CORRELATIVE AND PHARMACODYNAMIC RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the association of pre-treatment serum BCMA levels as well as serum BCMA levels throughout treatment with ORR and PFS to an alternative treatment schedule of belantamab mafodotin.

II. To assess the pharmacokinetics of this alternative dose/dosing schedule of belantamab mafodotin.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Patients receive low dose belantamab mafodotin intravenously (IV) on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients undergo a computed tomography (CT) scan, a magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan, or a positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scan during screening and patients with plasmacytoma (a multiple myeloma [MM] tumor in bone or soft tissue) also undergo imaging scans on study. Patients undergo bone marrow aspirate and biopsy during screening and on study as well as collection of blood samples throughout the trial.

GROUP II: Patients receive belantamab mafodotin IV on day 1. Cycle repeats at 3 weeks for the next cycle and then every 6 weeks for subsequent cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients undergo a CT scan, a MRI scan, or a PET/CT scan during screening and patients with plasmacytoma (a MM tumor in bone or soft tissue) also undergo imaging scans on study. Patients undergo bone marrow aspirate and biopsy during screening and on study as well as collection of blood samples throughout the trial.

After completion of trial treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for up to 5 years.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Grade 3/4 keratopathy-free rate

    The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes (proportion of patients free of grade 3/4 keratopathy at the time of dose #4) divided by the total number of evaluable patients. 95% confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner. If both arms prove to meet the primary endpoint, they will be evaluated indirectly in relation to each other similar, to a Bayesian pick the winner, approach if only one can be brought forward for further testing

    Measured: At the time of dose 4

Secondary outcomes (6)

  1. Overall response rate

    Will be estimated by the total number of patients who achieve a complete response (CR), very good partial response, or partial response divided by the total number of evaluable patients. All evaluable patients will be used for this analysis. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true overall response rate will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Incidence of adverse events (AEs)

    The maximum grade for each type of AE will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the AEs to the study treatment will be taken into consideration.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Time to progression

    The distribution of time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: From registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 5 years

  4. Progression free survival (PFS)

    The distribution of PFS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: From registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression or relapse or death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    The distribution of OS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: From registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years

  6. Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate

    Will be estimated by dividing the total number of patients who achieve MRD negativity if a bone marrow biopsy is done for suspected CR over the total number of evaluable patients. All evaluable patients will be used for this analysis. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true overall response rate will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Belantamab Mafodotin, Biospecimen Collection and Bone Marrow Aspirate in people with Recurrent Multiple Myeloma and Refractory Multiple Myeloma, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 28 inclusion and 36 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Grade 3/4 keratopathy-free rate (time frame: At the time of dose 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05847569.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jul 2026.
