Belantamab Mafodotin and Lenalidomide After Stem Cell Transplant in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma.
This phase II trial studies how well belantamab mafodotin and lenalidomide work to decrease the small numbers of cancer cells that remain in the body during or after treatment (minimal residual disease) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma after undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) or stem cell transplant. Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, called belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific receptors on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. Lenalidomide may help block the formation of growths that may become cancer. Giving belantamab mafodotin and lenalidomide may help prevent multiple myeloma from coming back.

Note: Stable non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease (including Gilbert’s syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones) or hepatobiliary involvement of malignancy is acceptable if otherwise meets entry criteria
- Participant must not have presence of active renal condition (infection, requirement for dialysis or any other condition that could affect participant’s safety). Participants with isolated proteinuria resulting from MM are eligible, provided they fulfill inclusion criteria
- Current corneal or epithelial disease (except mild punctate keratopathy)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To increase the conversion rate from minimal residual disease (MRD)-positive to MRD-negative complete response (CR) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) receiving post-transplant maintenance therapy with belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safety and tolerability of belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide maintenance therapy after auto-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).
II. To increase the overall MRD-negative CR rate in patients with NDMM receiving post-auto-HCT maintenance therapy with belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide.
III. To determine the progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients who discontinue maintenance therapy after achieving sustained MRD-negative CR.
IV. To determine the PFS with belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide maintenance therapy after auto-HCT in patients with NDMM.
V. To determine the OS with belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide maintenance therapy after auto-HCT in patients with NDMMM.
OUTLINE:
Beginning 60-180 days after auto-HCT, patients receive belantamab mafodotin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 and lenalidomide orally (PO) daily of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 84 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo echocardiography (ECHO) during screening and on the trial, as well as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or positron emission tomography (PET) and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the trial.
After completion of the study treatment, patients are followed up at 70 days and then for up to 3 years.
