Trial comparing treatments for Multiple Myeloma
Official title A Study of Belantamab Mafodotin Administered in Combination With Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (BRd) Versus Daratumumab, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone (DRd) in Participants With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) Who Are Ineligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (TI-NDMM)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06679101
What this study is testing
What is Belantamab mafodotin?
An investigational once‑weekly injectable medicine being studied for multiple myeloma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether BRd can keep cancer from coming back longer than DRd. It also looks at whether BRd can make the cancer undetectable in the blood.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and are not able to have a stem cell transplant.
- What's involved
- You would receive either BRd or DRd treatment. The study will track how well the treatment works and any side effects.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts until the treatment stops or the cancer returns, with regular visits to check progress.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
