Study Summary

The study consists of three parts:

  • Part 1 The primary purpose of this part aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of escalating doses of single agent Unconjugated belantamab antibody in participants with refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have received at least 3 prior therapies (4L+).

  • Part 2 The primary purpose of this part is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of different dose ratios of belantamab mafodotin in combination with Unconjugated belantamab antibody (delivered as separate drugs) in participants with RRMM who have received at least 3 prior therapies (4L+).

  • Part 3: The Primary purpose of this part will evaluate the clinical activity of a selected dose of the unconjugated belantamab antibody, either alone or in combination with belantamab mafodotin alongside the standard of care (SoC) pomalidomide-dexamethasone backbone. The study will focus on patients with multiple myeloma who have undergone at least one prior line of therapy, including treatment with lenalidomide.

Theinvestigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method inrelationship to the first dose of study intervention.

  • Part 3: Due to pomalidomide being a thalidomide analogue with a risk for embryofetaltoxicity and prescribed under a pregnancy prevention/controlled distributionprogramme, POCBP will be eligible if they commit either to abstain continuously fromheterosexual sexual intercourse or use two methods of reliable birth control (onemethod that is highly effective plus an additional barrier method), beginning atleast 4 weeks prior to initiating treatment with pomalidomide, during therapy,during dose interruptions and continuing for at least 4 weeks followingdiscontinuation of pomalidomide treatment. Thereafter, POCBP must use onecontraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of less than (<)1percentage (%) per year) for a further 3 months (total 4 months).
