Blenrep combo accepted for priority review in China in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: GSK

This is the seventh major regulatory filing acceptance this year for belantamab mafodotin in combination for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma based on the results of the DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8 trials. In 2024, belantamab mafodotin combinations have been accepted for review in the US, European Union, Japan (with priority review), United Kingdom, Canada and Switzerland (with priority review for DREAMM-8).

The application is based on the interim results of the phase III head-to-head DREAMM-7 trial, which met its primary endpoint, showing statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) for BVd compared to daratumumab plus bortezomib and dexamethasone (DVd) in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In a subsequent planned interim analysis, the DREAMM-7 trial met the key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS), showing that BVd significantly reduced the risk of death versus standard of care DVd.
