Role of Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Multiple Myeloma

Opinion
Video

Explore the latest advancements in bispecific antibodies for multiple myeloma, focusing on early treatment opportunities and innovative trial designs.

In this episode, experts discuss the reemergence of the antibody-drug conjugate belantamab and how it fits into a treatment landscape now dominated by bispecific antibodies and cellular therapies. Panelists explain that belantamab may offer an important option for patients who lack equitable access to bispecific T-cell engagers or CAR T therapy, especially in community settings more familiar with antibody drug conjugates. They note ongoing questions about sequencing, emphasizing that diminished responses seen when CAR T follows prior BCMA bispecific exposure have not yet been observed with belantamab. Experts highlight belantamab’s potential as an off-the-shelf therapy that can serve as a bridge for patients unable to reach specialized centers. They also reference data from the DREAMM-7 study showing progression-free survival approaching 30 months, positioning belantamab as a meaningful alternative for certain patients.
