Part 1 Results of a Dose-Finding Study of Belantamab Mafodotin in Combination with Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM)

Background: Belantamab mafodotin (belamaf) is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) that has shown clinically meaningful activity as a single agent in relapse/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Pre-clinical studies demonstrate that the immune mediated anti-myeloma activities of belamaf are enhanced by immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) providing the rationale for combining Belamaf with pomalidomide (POM). The Algonquin study is an ongoing Phase 1/2 trial designed to evaluate the recommended Part 2 dose (RP2D), safety, and preliminary efficacy of belamaf in combination with POM and dexamethasone (DEX) (B-Pd) in patients (pts) with RRMM. The initial data from the dose-escalation phase of the study identified 2.5 mg/kg in combination with standard dosing of POM/DEX as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (Trudel et al. ASH 2020). Here we report updated safety and efficacy data and additional dosing cohorts used to identify the RP2D.
