New drug cocktail aims to tackle Hard-to-Treat myeloma
NCT ID NCT05789303
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of four drugs—belantamab mafodotin, carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone—in people with multiple myeloma that has returned or stopped responding to treatment. The goal is to see if this mix can shrink tumors or slow the disease. About 83 adults will take part for up to 24 months.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with multiple myeloma that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
