Summary

This study tests a new drug called belantamab mafodotin (Blenrep) combined with standard therapy (VRd) in 50 people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who are eligible for a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and helps control the disease before and after transplant. Participants receive the drugs in cycles, then a transplant, then more treatment to keep the cancer in check.
