New hope for Hard-to-Treat myeloma: targeted drug combo faces off against standard care

NCT ID NCT06868654

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a new drug combination (belantamab mafodotin plus bortezomib and dexamethasone) works better than a standard combination (daratumumab plus bortezomib and dexamethasone) for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding to treatment. About 72 participants in China will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The main goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

belantamab mafodotin (a targeted antibody-drug conjugate)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with multiple myeloma that has returned or not responded to prior therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial with only 72 participants in China. The drug may not prove better than the current standard, and side effects like eye problems are possible.
