Summary
This is a multicenter phase II, open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of belantamab mafodotin maintenance in participants with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have received commercially available anti-BCMA CAR-T-cell therapy. Subjects will be enrolled 60-130 days after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) and receive belantamab mafodotin as maintenance therapy. Each maintenance cycle will have a duration of 56 days (+/- three days) and belantamab mafodotin will be administered at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg IV on day 1 of each cycle.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Diagnosis of multiple myeloma with measurable disease (serum M-protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL or
urine M-protein ≥200 mg/24 hour or involved serum-free light chain ≥10 mg/dL provided
that the ratio of involved/uninvolved light chain is abnormal) prior to receiving
CAR-T. Patients with no biochemically measurable disease before CAR-T may be enrolled
if bidirectionally measurable plasmacytomas or bone marrow plasmacytomas >10% are
present prior to CAR-T infusion (sites must explicitly identify these patients to the
Medical College of Wisconsin Multisite Team upon enrollment, as only four of these
patients will be permitted on study, after which no future patients will be permitted
to be enrolled).

2. Received at least three prior therapies (including a PI, immunomodulatory drugs
(IMiD), and anti-cluster of differentiation 38 antibody (anti-CD38 antibody) ) given
before CAR-T, and has not progressed/relapsed after receiving CAR-T therapy.

3. Achieved at least stable disease (SD) to CAR-T therapy and remained progression free
after anti-BCMA CAR-T administration until enrollment (this requirement is also
necessary prior administration of first study drug).

4. Voluntary consent (per single Institutional Review Board (sIRB) requirements) must be
given before performance of any study-related procedure not part of standard medical
care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time
without prejudice to future medical care.

standard formula (e.g., Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation;
Cockcroft and Gault).

9. Adequate hepatic function evidenced by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and aspartate
aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN, bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of the normal range
(ULN) (isolated bilirubin ≥1.5 x ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and
direct bilirubin <35%).

10. Adequate bone marrow function evidenced by hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL, platelets ≥75,000/mm3

albumin/creatinine ratio (spot urine from first void).

12. Patients with prior allotransplant more than one year prior to enrollment, with or
without ongoing topical treatment for skin GVHD (without evidence of active GVHD) are
eligible (refer to exclusion criteria).

preferably with low user dependency during the intervention period and for four months
after the last dose of belantamab mafodotin and agrees not to donate eggs (ova,
oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should
evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first
dose of study intervention.

• WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test within 72 hours of
dosing on cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1) and agree to use a highly effective method of
contraception during the study and for four months after the last dose of belantamab
mafodotin.

14. Male participants:

Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods
of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.

Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following from the time
of first dose of study until six months after the last dose of belantamab mafodotin to
allow for clearance of any altered sperm:

Refrain from donating sperm.

AND either:

Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle
(abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent.

OR

Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below:

• Agree to use a male condom, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy and female
partner to use an additional highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of
<1% per year as described in when having sexual intercourse with a WOCBP (including
pregnant females).
