Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Belantamab Mafodotin, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone Versus Daratumumab, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Summary
This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of belantamab mafodotin in combination with bortezomib/dexamethasone (Arm A) versus daratumumab in combination with bortezomib/dexamethasone (Arm B) in the participants with relapsed recurrent multiple myeloma.
