Brief Summary

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy and accounts for 1 percentage (%) of all cancers and for 10% of all hematologic malignancies. Participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) will be included in this study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916) monotherapy. Participants will be treated with belantamab mafodotin monotherapy until disease progression (PD) or unacceptable toxicity and will be followed for Progression Free Survival and Overall survival. The participants will be randomized to receive either frozen belantamab mafodotin at the dose of 2.5 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) or 3.4 mg/kg administered Intravenously (IV). There will be an independent cohort of participants who will receive a lyophilized configuration of belantamab mafodotin. For participants who discontinued from the study other than Progressive disease (PD), disease evaluation will continue to be performed at 3-week intervals until confirmed PD, death, start of a new anticancer treatment, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study whichever occurs first.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR) by Independent Review Committee (IRC) (Full Analysis Population)

    ORR was determined according to the 2016 international myeloma working group (IMWG) response criteria by IRC. ORR was calculated as the percentage of participants with a confirmed partial response (PR) or better (that is \[i.e.\], PR, very good partial response \[VGPR\], complete response \[CR\] and stringent complete response \[sCR\]). Confidence intervals were based on the exact method.

    Up to 48 weeks

  • Overall Response Rate by Independent Review Committee (Efficacy Population)

    ORR was determined according to the 2016 IMWG response criteria by IRC. ORR was calculated as the percentage of participants with a confirmed PR or better (i.e., PR, VGPR, CR and sCR). Confidence intervals were based on the exact method. Efficacy Population comprised of first 130 intent-to-treat participants whether or not randomized treatment (frozen solution) was administered. Intent-to-treat Population comprised of all randomized participants whether or not randomized treatment was administered.

    Up to 48 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (60)

  • Overall Response Rate by Investigator Assessment (IA) (Full Analysis Population)

    Up to 186 weeks

  • Overall Response Rate by Investigator Assessment (Efficacy Population)

    Up to 186 weeks
