Study of Alternative and Approved Dosing Regimens of Belantamab Mafodotin, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone (BVd) in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
DREAMM-16
A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Alternative and Approved Dosing Regimens of Belantamab Mafodotin in Combination With Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (BVd) in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to assess safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters with alternative dosing schedules of belantamab mafodotin in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone compared to the approved dosing regimen in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy. The study will further characterize the risk of ocular toxicity and impact on efficacy measures and PK evaluations using alternative and approved dosing regimens.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Percentage of participants with grade greater than or equal to (>=)3 corneal events assessed by keratopathy visual acuity (KVA) scale
KVA scale ranges from 0 to 4 with higher score indicating greater severity of corneal events.
Up to approximately 4.5 years
Percentage of participants with grade >=3 corneal events assessed by KVA scale up to Month 6
KVA scale ranges from 0 to 4 with higher score indicating greater severity of corneal events.
Up to Month 6
Percentage of Participants With Grade >=3 Corneal Events Assessed by KVA scale from 6 to 12 months
KVA scale ranges from 0 to 4 with higher score indicating greater severity of corneal events. Data will be presented for the total number of participants with corneal events in each study group during 6 to 12 months.
From 6 to 12 months
Secondary Outcomes (18)
Incidence of corneal events as assessed by KVA scale accounting for time on study treatment
Up to approximately 4.5 years
Percentage of participants with corneal events as assessed by KVA scale
Up to approximately 4.5 years
Number of recurrences of corneal events as assessed by KVA scale
Up to approximately 4.5 years
Percentage of participants with post-baseline Best corrected visual acuity of 20/50, 20/100, 20/200
Up to approximately 4.5 years
Number of participants with ocular adverse events and adverse events of special interest by National Cancer Institute-Common terminology criteria for adverse events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 6.0
Up to approximately 4.5 years
- +13 more secondary outcomes
