Inclusion Criteria:
- Participant must be >18 years of age
- Monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM) ≥10% or presence of a biopsy provenplasmacytoma and documented Multiple Myeloma (MM) satisfying at least one of thecalcium, renal, anemia, bone (CRAB) criteria or biomarkers of malignancy criteria: CRAB criteria: i. Hypercalcemia: serum calcium >0.25 mmol/L (>1 mg/dL) higher than upper limit ofnormal (ULN) or >2.75 mmol/L (>11 mg/dL). ii. Renal insufficiency: creatinine clearance (CrCI) <40mL/min or serum creatinine >177 μmol/L (>2 mg/dL). iii. Anemia: hemoglobin >2 g/dL below the lower limit of normal or hemoglobin <10g/dL. iv. Bone lesions: one or more osteolytic lesions on skeletal radiography, Computedtomography (CT), or Positron emission tomography (PET-CT). Biomarkers of Malignancy:
- Clonal BM plasma cell percentage ≥60%.
- Involved: uninvolved serum free light chain (sFLC) ratio ≥100.
- More than 1 focal lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies.
- Must have at least ONE aspect of measurable disease, defined as one of the following:
- Urine M-protein excretion ≥200 mg/24 hrs (≥0.2 g/24 hrs), or

- Not a candidate for high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantationdue to presence of significant comorbid condition(s), such as cardiac, pulmonary orother major organ dysfunction that are likely to have a negative impact ontolerability of high dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation. The patientswill be assessed with the IMWG frailty index, a scoring system based on age,comorbidities, and cognitive and physical conditions, which is recommended by theEuropean Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines. Patients with InternationalMyeloma Working Group (IMWG) frailty index score 1 or 2 will be considered transplantineligible. The reason(s) for transplant ineligibility will be collected in the casereport forms (CRFs).
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0-2.
- Adequate organ system function as defined by the below laboratory assessments.Hematologic
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.25 X 10^9/L; granulocyte colony-stimulatingfactor (G-CSF) use for the past 14 days is NOT allowed.
- Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL; transfusions are not permitted in the past 14 days prior tothe assessment. Erythropoietin use is allowed.
- Platelet count ≥50 x 10^9/L if the BM is >50% involved in myeloma. Otherwise, ≥75x 10^9/L; transfusions or platelet stimulating agents are NOT allowed in the past 14 days prior to the assessment. Hepatic
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin ≥1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubinis fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).

- Spot urine (albumin/creatinine ratio) <500 mg/g (56 mg/mmol) OR
- Urine Dipstick: Negative trace; if ≥1+ only eligible if confirmed <500 mg/g [56mg/mmol] by albumin/creatinine ratio (spot urine from first void).
- Female participants: contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulationsregarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies: A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant orbreastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
- Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) defined as follows:
- ≥ 45 years of age and has not had menses for > 1 year
- Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for < 2 years without history of ahysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value inthe postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation
- Post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation.Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records ofthe actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must beconfirmed with medical records of the actual procedure. OR
- Is a WOCBP and using two methods of reliable birth control (one method that ishighly effective and one additional effective [barrier] method), beginning 4weeks before initiating treatment with lenalidomide, during therapy, during doseinterruptions and continuing for 4 weeks following discontinuation oflenalidomide treatment. WOCBP participants must use one method of reliable birthcontrol that is highly effective for 4 months following discontinuation ofbelantamab mafodotin. WOCBP must also agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) forthe purpose of reproduction during treatment, during dose interruptions and for 28-days following the last dose of lenalidomide or 4 months followingdiscontinuation of belantamab mafodotin treatment, whichever is longer. A WOCBP must have two negative pregnancy tests before therapy initiation. The firsttest should be performed within 10-14 days, and the second test within 24 hours beforethe start of lenalidomide therapy. The participant should not receive lenalidomide until the investigator has verifiedthat the results of these pregnancy tests are negative. The investigator shouldevaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relation to the first doseof the study treatment. The investigator is responsible for a review of medicalhistory, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk forinclusion of a woman with a nearly undetected pregnancy. WOCBP is a female who:
- has achieved menarche at some time point
- has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or
- has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy doesnot rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e.,has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).
- Male participants: contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulationsregarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies: Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following duringthe intervention period and until 28 days after the last dose of lenalidomide or 6months after the last dose of belantamab mafodotin, whichever is longer, to allow forclearance of any altered sperm.
- Refrain from donating sperm PLUS either:
- Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent, OR
- Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below: Agree to use a male condom, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy, andfemale partner to use an additional highly effective contraceptive method with afailure rate of <1% per year as when having sexual intercourse with a woman ofchildbearing potential (including pregnant females).
- Participants must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participatein the study by providing written informed consent.
