Multiple Myeloma

The FDA approved the first anti-BCMA therapy, belantamab mafodotin-blmf, to treat patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have received 4 prior therapies.

The study is evaluating the subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone versus pomalidomide and dexamethasone alone as treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
