New drug cocktail aims to tackle myeloma that resists CAR-T therapy
NCT ID NCT07612787
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a combination of two drugs, belantamab mafodotin and mezigdomide, in 44 adults with multiple myeloma whose cancer returned after treatment with CAR-T cells or bispecific antibodies. The goal is to see if the combo can control the cancer longer. The trial starts with a safety check (Phase 1b) before moving to the main Phase 2 part.
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 and mezigdomide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for multiple myeloma patients who have stopped responding to other advanced therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The drugs can cause side effects like eye problems and low blood counts.

Additional exception allowed for bone-stabilizing surgery after consultation with medical monitor. * Has received a live or attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study treatment. * Participant has received plasmapheresis ≤ 7 days before the first dose of study treatment. * Presence of active renal condition (infection, requirement for dialysis, or any other condition that could affect participant's safety). * Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric disorder, or other conditions (including lab abnormalities) that could interfere with participant's safety, obtaining informed consent, or compliance with the study procedures. * Evidence of active mucosal or internal bleeding. * Cirrhosis or current unstable liver or biliary disease per investigator assessment defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, esophageal or gastric varices, persistent jaundice. * Evidence of cardiovascular risk. * Participant has malignancies other than MM are excluded, except for any other malignancy from which the participant has been disease free for \>5 years with the exception of the following noninvasive malignancies: basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, carcinoma in situ of the breast, incidental histological findings of prostate cancer (T1a or T1b using the tumor, nodes, and metastases clinical staging system), or prostate cancer that is curative. * Active infection requiring antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal therapy. * Symptomatic amyloidosis, active POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal plasma-proliferative disorder, skin changes) or active plasma cell leukemia at the time of screening. * Current corneal epithelial disease, except mild punctuate keratopathy. * Contact lenses are not allowed for participants while they are receiving Belantamab mafodontin treatment. Contact lens use may be restarted after discontinuation of Belantamab mafondontin treatment, provided the eye-care specialist confirms there are no other contraindications. * Treatment with strong CYP3A4/5 modulators or Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers or Proton Pump Inhibitors or unable to absorb oral therapies (i.e. gastric surgery). * Participant is a pregnant or lactating female. * Participant with known HIV infection is excluded, unless the specific criteria (see relative section) are met. * Patient with a presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb) at screening or within 3 months before first dose of study treatment should be excluded, unless the criteria described in the relative section are met. * Participant with a positive hepatitis C antibody test result or positive hepatitis C RNA test result at screening or within 3 months before first dose of study treatment are excluded, unless the criteria described in the relative section are met.
