Belantamab Mafodotin and Lenalidomide for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma in Patients With Minimal Residual Disease Positive After Stem Cell Transplant

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Assess the minimal residual disease (MRD) negative rate after 6 cycles of post autologous stem cell transplant consolidation with belantamab mafodotin and lenalidomide.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Assess sustained MRD negative rate, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive belantamab mafodotin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 and lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 12 weeks and the periodically for up to 5 years.

Note: Stable chronic liver disease (including Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones) or hepatobiliary involvement of malignancy is acceptable if patient otherwise meets entry criteria
• Malignancies other than disease under study, unless the second malignancy has been medically stable for at least 2 years and, in the opinion of the principal investigators, will not affect the evaluation of the effects of clinical trial treatments on the currently targeted malignancy. Participants with curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer may be enrolled without a 2-year restriction
• Evidence of cardiovascular risk including any of the following:

• Evidence of current clinically significant uncontrolled arrhythmias, including clinically significant electrocardiography (EKG) abnormalities such as 2nd degree (type II) or 3rd degree atrioventricular (AV) block.
