A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test within 72 hours before the first dose of study intervention and agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study and for 4 months after the last dose of belantamab mafodotin.

  • A man who is sexually active with a WOCBP (even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy) must agree to use a barrier method of birth control e.g. either condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository or partner with occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository for 6 months after receiving the last dose of study drug.
  • Male participants must refrain from donating sperm for 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
  • Able to swallow capsules whole (pomalidomide capsules cannot be crushed, dissolved or broken).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participant must not have had current corneal epithelial disease except mild changes in corneal epithelium.
  • Participant must not use contact lenses while participating in this study.

  • Prior therapy with anti-BCMA therapy.
  • Plasmapheresis within seven days prior to start of study treatment.
  • Primary refractory disease.
  • Concomitant high dose corticosteroids. Low dose corticosteroids (maximum dose prednisone 10 mg/day or equivalent) are permitted if given for disorders other than myeloma, e.g. adrenal insufficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
  • Pregnancy or lactation or planned lactation (breastfeeding).
  • Prior history of malignancies, other than MM, unless the patient has completed definitive treatment and has been free of the disease for ≥ 3 years. Patients who are free of disease < 3 years may enroll after discussion with and approval of the PI. Exceptions include the following (i.e. the following are eligible to participate):

  • Basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  • Ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast

  • Seropositive for hepatitis B (defined by a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\]; see exception below). Subjects with resolved infection (i.e., subjects who are HBsAg negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen \[anti-HBc\] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen \[anti-HBs\]) must be screened for hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. Those with positive HBV viral load will be excluded. Exception: subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) and a known history of prior HBV vaccination do not need testing for HBV DNA.

Patients may also not have active graft v. host disease (GVHD).
  • Autologous stem cell transplant <6 months prior to start of treatment

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Isatuximab + Belantamab mafodotin + Pomalidomide + Dexamethasone

Isatuximab will be given once daily into your vein (by intravenous infusion) over about 30-60 minutes. This will occur during cycle 1 (cycle equals 28 days) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and cycle 2 and onwards days 1 and 15.

Belantamab mafodotin will be given once every 8 weeks into your vein (by intravenous infusion) over about 60 minutes after completion of isatuximab infusion.

Pomalidomide will be taken orally once daily during days 1-21 of each cycle.

Dexamethasone will be taken orally once daily during days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23 of each cycle.

Drug diaries will be provided to participants to document information about taking pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

Interventions

Isatuximab

An IgG1-derived monoclonal antibody that targets CD38 proteins, administered intravenously.

Belantamab mafodotin

An antibody-drug conjugate that is the combination of an antibody targeting BCMA and a drug, administered intravenously.

Pomalidomide
