Can a lower dose of a myeloma drug keep the disease in check with fewer side effects?

NCT ID NCT07748689

First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial asks whether a reduced dose of belantamab mafodotin, combined with pomalidomide and dexamethasone, can control relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma as effectively as the standard dose while causing fewer side effects. Adults with this blood cancer who have had at least one prior therapy are randomly assigned to receive either the reduced or standard dose. The study tracks treatment response, minimal residual disease (a sensitive measure of remaining cancer cells), and side effects, especially eye-related toxicity.

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 (reduced vs standard dose) in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone
What this could lead to
If a lower dose works as well as the standard, it could offer a gentler treatment option for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, reducing eye-related side effects while maintaining disease control.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial, so results are preliminary. The reduced dose might be less effective, and the combination still carries risks like eye toxicity and other side effects.
