About this study

This retrospective observational study will collect data from MM patients at first or second relapse to evaluate the response rates under belantamab mafodotin-based therapeutic schedules as salvage therapy.

Data from participants either treated with belantamab mafodotin+bortezomib+dexamethasone [BVd] or belantamab mafodotin+pomalidomide+dexamethasone [BPd] schedules will be evaluated. Data collection will include the following data:

  • Sociodemographics (demographic data, disease status and clinical chracteristics).
  • Medical history (MM diagnosis, disease characteristics and history of prior treatment with anti-MM therapies).
  • Treatment with BVd or BPd (overall response rate, duration of response, progression-free survival at diagnosis, progression-free survival at relapse, duration of the treatment, overall survival, side effects, infections and concomitant treatments during the treatment with belantamab-based schedules).

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Confirmed diagnosis of relapsed/refractory MM.
  • Having received at least one dose of a belantamab mafodotin combination (BVd or BPd) under compassionate use conditions as treatment for a first or second relapse.
  • Patients ≥18 years of age at the start of treatment with the belantamab mafodotin combination (BVd or BPd) under compassionate use conditions.

Exclusion criteria

  • Any patient who has received a belantamab mafodotin combination (BVd or BPd) under compassionate use conditions in fourth line of treatment or later will be excluded from the study.

Primary outcomes

  1. Patient year of birth

    Time frame: 18 months

    Measured in date (year)

  2. Patient sex

    Time frame: 18 months

  4. Disease diagnosis date

    Time frame: 18 months

    Measured in date (dd/mm/yyyy)

  5. Disease Interational Score System status at diagnosis

    Time frame: 18 months

    Developed in 2005 by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), it uses two readily available blood tests (serum β2 microglobulin (Sβ2M) and serum albumin) to classify patients into three stages:

    Stage I: Sβ2M < 3.5 mg/L; serum albumin ≥ 3.5 g/dL. Stage II: Sβ2M < 3.5 mg/L; serum albumin < 3.5 g/dL; or β2M 3.5 to 5.5 mg/L, irrespective of serum albumin.

    Stage III: Sβ2M > 5.5 mg/L.

  6. Disease type of MM (secretory or oligosecretory)

    Time frame: 18 months

    Defined as secretory (when immunoglobulines are detectable in the patient's serum and/or urine) or oligosecretory (when inmunoglobulines are below the treshold shown next).

    Secretory treshold definition: M-protein≥1 gr/dL, or U-PEP > 200 mg/24 hours or involved free light chain≥ 100 mg/L.

  7. Disease type of immunoglobulin

    Time frame: 18 months

    Measures the type of immunoglobuline secreted by MM tumour cells (IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE or IgM)

  8. Disease ECOG status

    Time frame: 18 months

    The ECOG Performance Status Scale describes a patient's level of functioning in terms of their ability to care for themself, daily activity, and physical ability (walking, working, etc.).

    Grades:

    0: Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction

    • Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work
    • Ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities; up and about more than 50% of waking hours
    • Capable of only limited selfcare; confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours
    • Completely disabled; cannot carry on any selfcare; totally confined to bed or chair
    • Dead
  9. Disease extramedullar disease at relapse

    Time frame: 18 months

    Extramedullary disease is defined as an aggressive form of multiple myeloma characterized by the presence of soft-tissue plasmacytomas that result from hematogenous spread

  10. Disease presentation of plasma cell leukemia

    Time frame: 18 months

    Plasma cell leukemia is a rare and aggressive variant of myeloma characterized by the presence of circulating plasma cells; diagnosis is based upon the percentage (≥20%) and absolute number (≥2 × 109/L) of plasma cells in peripheral blood. This outcome aims to annotate if the particpiant has a canonical MM (between 10% and 19% of clonal plasma cells in bone marrow) or the rare leukemized variant of MM, which is also known as plasma cell leukemia (≥20% clonal plasma cells).

  11. Disease high-risk

    Time frame: 18 months

    This outcome aims to annotate if the participant has high-risk MM.

    High-risk MM can be measured by a) beta 2-microglobulin (Sβ2M) levels, or by b) tumour genetic alterations:

    • High-risk is considered when Sβ2M>=5.5mg/L (if creatinin <1.2mg/dL).
    • High-genetic risk in MM (Avet-Loiseau H J Clin Oncol 2025) is defined as the presence of any of the following:
    • Deletion of 17p in >20% of sorted plasma cells
    • TP53 mutation
    • Biallelic deletion of 1p32
    • 2 alterations of the following: t(4;14), t(14;16) or t(14,20); or Gain/amplification of 1q; or monoallelic del 1p32
  12. Disease kidney function pre-belantamab infusion by creatinine clearance

    Time frame: 18 months

    This outcome aims to annotate if the participant shows kideny disfunction or impairment at any time during treatment. Kidney or renal impairment is defined as creatinine clearance below 40 mL/min due to myeloma.

  13. Disease kidney function pre-belantamab infusion by serum creatinine

    Time frame: 18 months

    This outcome aims to annotate if the participant shows kideny disfunction or impairment at any time during treatment. Kidney or renal impairment can also be evaluated by serum creatinine and this happens when serum creatinine is above 2 mg/dL due to myeloma.

  14. Disease kidney failure at disease progression

    Time frame: 18 months

    This outcome aims to annotate if the participant shows kidney failure at disease progression. Kidney failure is defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 15 mL/min.

  15. Disease tumoral load pre-belantamab infusion by circulating cells

    Time frame: 18 months

    Tumoral load refers to the amount of disease detected at any time. It will be measured by the number of circulating tumour cells in peripheral blood (cells/L).

  16. Disease tumoral load pre-belantamab infusion by serum beta-2-microglobulin

    Time frame: 18 months

    Tumoral load refers to the amount of disease detected at any time. It will be measured by serum beta-2-microglobulin levels (mg/L)

  17. Disease presence of lytic lesions

    Time frame: 18 months

    This outcome aims to annotate if the participant shows bone lytic lesions at any time during treatment. Lytic lesions are lesions that replace normal bone or with a vast proportion showing a lower density or attenuation than the normal bone. These lesions are characterized either by the replacement of bone matrix by other types of tissue including soft tissue, fluid or fat. These lytic lesions are caused by MM cells and are detected and accounted by radiography.

  18. Disease previous anti-MM treatments

    Time frame: 18 months

    Annotation of the treatments received by each patient before the treatment with belantamab combinations analyzed in this study.

  19. Disease number of previous anti-MM treatments and treatment response

    Time frame: 18 months

    Annotation of the number of treatments received by each patient before the treatment with belantamab combinations analyzed in this study, and what patients' duration of response was (defined in months).

  20. Disease first line treatment

    Time frame: 18 months

    First line treatment refers to the treatment the patient received at diagnosis (in de novo MM status)

  21. Disease date of first relapse

    Time frame: 18 months

    Measured in date (dd/mm/yyyy)

  22. Disease date of second line treatment (if applies)
