About the DREAMM-8 Trial

DREAMM-8 is a Phase III, open-label, multicenter, randomized trial evaluating belantamab mafodotin (Blenrep) plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone (BPd) versus pomalidomide plus bortezomib and dexamethasone (PVd) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy including lenalidomide. The trial enrolled 302 patients and demonstrated a significant PFS benefit for BPd, supporting belantamab mafodotin combinations as a new treatment paradigm in RRMM alongside the companion DREAMM-7 trial.

FDA Approval

FDA APPROVED Blenrep (belantamab mafodotin) + PomDex — RRMM with 2 or more prior lines including a PI and IMiD, in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (BPd)

On October 23, 2025, the FDA approved belantamab mafodotin in combination with pomalidomide/dexamethasone (BPd) and separately with bortezomib/dexamethasone (BVd, from DREAMM-7) for RRMM. This followed BLA acceptance in November 2024 with PDUFA date of July 23, 2025 (extended). The approval includes a REMS with ETASU for ocular toxicity management. The ODAC had voted 7-1 against BPd but the FDA proceeded with approval.

Trial Methodology & Results

Study Design

Phase III, open-label, 1:1 randomized, multicenter trial (NCT04484623). BPd arm: belantamab mafodotin 2.5 mg/kg IV cycle 1, then 1.9 mg/kg Q4W from cycle 2; pomalidomide 4 mg PO days 1-21; dexamethasone 40 mg days 1, 8, 15, 22. PVd arm: bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 SC days 1, 4, 8, 11 (cycles 1-8), then days 1, 8; pomalidomide 4 mg days 1-14; dexamethasone 20 mg on day of/after bortezomib. Stratified by prior lines, prior bortezomib, and prior anti-CD38. Treatment until progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity.

Population

Adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who received at least 1 prior line including lenalidomide and had documented disease progression during or after most recent therapy. 78% were lenalidomide-refractory. No prior anti-BCMA or pomalidomide exposure. Not refractory or intolerant to bortezomib. 25% had prior daratumumab exposure.

Interventions

Arm A: Belantamab mafodotin + pomalidomide + dexamethasone (BPd). Arm B: Pomalidomide + bortezomib + dexamethasone (PVd). Treatment continued until progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study cessation.

Primary Endpoints

Primary endpoint: PFS by independent review committee per IMWG criteria. Key secondary endpoints: OS, MRD negativity by NGS. Other secondary: ORR, DOR, CR rate, VGPR or better, time to progression, PFS2, AEs, ocular findings, and patient-reported outcomes.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

BPd demonstrated a significant PFS benefit with HR 0.52 (95% CI 0.37-0.73; p<0.001) at primary analysis (median follow-up 21.8 months). Median PFS was not reached (95% CI 20.6-NR) for BPd vs 12.7 months (95% CI 9.1-18.5) for PVd. 12-month PFS rate: 71% vs 51%. Updated analysis at 28 months showed median PFS of 32.6 months vs 12.5 months (HR 0.49). ORR: 77% vs 72%, with CR or better of 40% vs 16%. Median duration of response: not reached vs 17.5 months.

PFS HR 0.52 — median 32.6 vs 12.5 months

Overall Survival (OS)

At the interim analysis, a positive trend in OS was observed favoring BPd but was not yet statistically significant. Follow-up for OS continues. The companion DREAMM-7 trial demonstrated a significant OS benefit (HR 0.58) for belantamab mafodotin + BorDex vs daratumumab + BorDex, providing supportive evidence for the class.

Safety & Tolerability

AEs occurred in >99% of BPd vs 96% of PVd patients. Ocular toxicity was the primary safety concern: grade 3/4 ocular AEs in 43% of BPd vs 2% of PVd. Over 90% of patients experienced keratopathy/visual acuity events across DREAMM trials, with 77-78% high-grade. Worsening vision-related function (OSDI) in 73% BPd vs 51% PVd, though 92% improved after median 57 days. Over 75% required dose modifications due to KVA events. Fewer than 50% received full intended dose by cycle 3. Despite this, treatment discontinuation due to ocular toxicity was low, and QOL was maintained per EORTC QLQ-C30.

Clinical Implications

DREAMM-8 establishes BPd as a new standard-of-care option for RRMM at first relapse, particularly for lenalidomide-refractory patients. The ODAC committee voted 7-1 against recommending BPd approval (October 2025), primarily citing ocular toxicity concerns and dosing optimization questions, though the FDA approved belantamab mafodotin combinations (BVd from DREAMM-7 and BPd from DREAMM-8) on October 23, 2025 with a REMS program. Key debates include optimal dose-finding (DREAMM-14 exploring lower doses), real-world management of keratopathy without the strict protocol-driven monitoring used in trials, sequencing with bispecifics and CAR-T, and whether the ODAC dissent will impact commercial adoption.

DoctorSentimentComment
● POSITIVE The comparison of two manuscripts @NEJM showcasing Belantamab's superiority over other anti-myeloma treatments in a head-to-head comparison is widely considered the greatest comeback in the history of myeloma. @FDAOncology #mmsm #myeloma #medtwitter

@VincentRK
● POSITIVE 2) Belantamab will make a comeback. Corneal toxicity is low with reduced frequency dosing. The drug works very well. And in many patients with refractory myeloma belantamab may be safer and easier to do than bispecifics. We need options. #ASCO24
● POSITIVE #mmsm #ASCO24 DREAMM-8 and DREAMM-7 data suggest: Blenrep combinations are better than other combinations Less frequent dosing and dose is the way to go for this drug A group of patients cannot tolerate it (&lt;10%) @SagarLonialMD https://t.
