Clinical Trial Summary

The main goal of this phase II study is to evaluate the overall response rate of isatuximab, belantamab mafodotin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The study drugs provided for research purposes are isatuximab and belantamab mafodotin.

Description:

This is a phase II study of isatuximab, belantamab mafodotin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Approximately 50 participants will take part in this research study. The primary objective is determining the overall response rate of the treatment. Treatment is until progression, adverse events, or withdrawal of consent.
