Study summary

This study will evaluate efficacy and tolerability various doses of belantamab mafodotin in combination with cevostamab and pomalidomide in patients with multiple myeloma who have relapsed disease after two or more lines of therapy and/or have refractory to treatment disease.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase Ib, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy various doses of belantamab mafodotin (belamaf) in combination with cevostamab and pomalidomide in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The study consists of 2 parts.

Part 1 will evaluate the clinical activity and safety of up to three dose combinations of belamaf and cevostamab in patients who have relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma after receiving 2 or more prior lines of therapy and having previously received lenalidomide, a proteosome inhibitor, and/or anti-CD38 mAb. Their disease must be refractory to the last line of therapy. The doses will be evaluated in cohorts: Cohort 1a - belamaf 1.9 mg/kg + cevostamab 90 mg; Cohort 1b - belamaf 1.9 mg/kg + cevostamab 160 mg; and Cohort 1c - belamaf 2.5 mg/kg + cevostamab 160 mg. In this part I the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination will be determined.

Part 2 will evaluate the clinical activity and safety of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in patients who have relapsed multiple myeloma having previously received 1-3 prior line of therapy including lenalidomide, a proteosome inhibitor, and/or an anti-CD38 mAb.

In addition, a cohort exploring the safety and efficacy of the combination of cevostamab and belamaf at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) with low dose pomalidomide (2 mg ) will be considered.

This study will have an induction phase (cycle 1-6) and a maintenance phase (cycle 7 onwards). Participants will receive study treatment until progression is documented. Participants will be followed for up to 24 months after confirmation of progressive disease or until death, whichever is reached earlier.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(32)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.

PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)

    The Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) will be determined based on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), overall tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity. DLTs will be evaluated based on adverse events, clinical assessments, and laboratory test results.

    Overall Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria.

    Time frame: From 3 weeks after the first dose of study therapy (end of Cycle 1; Cycle 1 is 21 days) until the date of documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose of study therapy until the date of documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Duration of Response (DOR) is defined as the time from the date of first documented partial response (PR) or better until documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: From the date of first documented partial response or better to the date of documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to death from any cause.

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose of therapy until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months.

  4. Rates of Corneal Adverse Events

    The proportion of participants experiencing corneal adverse events, including a decrease in best corrected visual acuity (\>20/50) in both eyes at the same time, at the recommended dose of belamaf in combination with cevostamab.

    Time frame: From 1 day before receiving belamaf until the end of treatment or, if corneal findings are present, until corneal findings return to pre-treatment (baseline) condition or become stable, assessed up to 12 months.

  5. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non- investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational) product. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is an important medical event that may require medical or surgical intervention, results in a second malignancy.

    Time frame: From 1 day before receiving study therapy until death from any cause or 90 days after discontinuation of study therapy, whichever occurs first.

  6. Number of Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)

    * Any grade ≥2 CRS (Cytokine Release Syndrome) * Any suspected or confirmed HLH/IEC-HS (Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis/ Immune Effector Cell-Associated HLH-Like Syndrome) * Any grade ICANS (Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome) * Grade 4 Corneal AEs (Adverse Events) * Grade ≥ 3 infections * Grade ≥ 2 Infusion Related Reactions

    Time frame: From 1 day before receiving the study therapy until the date of death from any cause or 90 days following last date of study therapy, whichever occurs first.

  7. Change from Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life as Assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30

    Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), a 30-item cancer-specific questionnaire. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores on the Global Health Status/Quality of Life scale indicating better health-related quality of life.

    Time frame: From 1 day before receiving study therapy to the end of study treatment, including the last day of treatment, assessed up to approximate 73 months.

  8. Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes as Assessed by PRO-CTCAE

    Patient-reported outcomes will be assessed using selected Patient-Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) to assess toxicities of interest, including neurological symptoms (numbness, tingling, dizziness) and visual symptoms (blurred vision, flashing lights, visual floaters and watery eyes).

    Time frame: From 1 day before receiving study therapy to the end of study treatment, including the last day of treatment, assessed up to approximate 73 months.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Dec 2026; primary completion for Jan 2033, 73 months later.

Of 201 non-industry phase 1 interventional studies under Multiple Myeloma, half reached primary completion within 57 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 39 and three quarters within 99. This study's planned 73 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 413 studies reached it within 50 months; a quarter within 33 and three quarters within 75.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
