Background and study aims
ProMMise is a study for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). Relapsed means it has returned after treatment. MM is rare, but the number of people living with it is increasing. Currently it is incurable. However, new treatments mean more people are surviving for longer, and around one-third of patients are now living for 10 years after diagnosis.
Although survival has improved, new treatments are required to extend life expectancy still further and to provide new options for hard-to-treat patients. Belantamab mafodotin (known as belamaf) is a new drug that attacks myeloma cells. Initial trials have shown a good response; on average the disease didn’t return (progress) for 12 months. This was in a group of patients with refractory MM, meaning myeloma had returned after various treatments.
The aim of this study is to investigate the outcomes, safety, and tolerability of belamaf, both alone and in combination with standard-of-care myeloma agents, in relapsed refractory MM patients.

Who can participate?
Adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet any of the exclusion criteria.

What does the study involve?
This is a platform study, which means there will be several arms each looking at different treatment combinations. This will start with 2 or 3 trial arms, with other arms added later. The first arm will use belamaf alone. More arms will be added to look at belamaf used in combination with known myeloma drugs. The design means arms can be added easily as new combinations become available.
This study has two phases, which will take place sequentially for each arm. Participants will take part in one of these only. The first phase is focused on safety, providing close monitoring to check the doses of the drugs are safe and side effects are tolerable. There will then be an expansion phase, which will give researchers an indication of how effective the drugs are.
Trial Arm D involves a treatment combination that has already been investigated in another trial and focuses on the eye assessments required to treat with belamaf safely.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Belamaf is well tolerated. The main side effects are blurred vision and a reduced number of platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenia). Both of these effects resolve if treatment is paused, and in most cases treatment could continue.
Due to the new way belamaf works and its as yet limited identified side effects, combining this with existing myeloma drugs has the potential to improve the outlook for patients.

Ethics approval(s)Approved 15/07/2021, West of Scotland REC 1 (West of Scotland Research Ethics Service, Admin Building, Level 2, Gartnavel Royal Hospital, 1055 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 0XH, United Kingdom; N/A; ggc.wosrec1@nhs.scot), ref: 21/WS/0065
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMultiple myeloma
InterventionCurrent interventions as of 04/02/2025:
This is a multi-centre, multi-arm, phase I platform study in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients with 1-4 prior lines of therapy. The trial includes multiple treatment arms investigating different novel combinations of belamaf plus treatment(s). This may comprise of a dose escalation and dose expansion phase, or may use a previously approved recommended dose level. These trial arms have the flexibility to open or close depending on the stage of the trial, allowing continuous recruitment. Participants will remain on treatment until progression, withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicities.

A number of baseline assessments need to be conducted prior to the first administration of trial treatment. These include: Physical exam including height, weight, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), haematology and biochemistry assessments, urinalysis, PET-CT scan, electrocardiogram (ECG), ophthalmological examination, pregnancy test (if applicable), and Myeloma-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MyPOS).

For trial arms (Arm-B) where the treatment combinations have never previously been used in this population of multiple myeloma patients, a dose escalation phase is required. A modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI-2) approach is proposed for dose-finding/safety evaluation, within each combination arm, to determine a safe dose schedule. The mTPI-2 is an adaptive model-based Bayesian design determining the probability that a patient experiences a DLT for each dose level given the observed data. Cohorts of 3 evaluable participants will be sequentially recruited to the combination arms of the trial until the recommended dose (RD) has been identified, or the trial stopped due to excessive toxicity at the lowest dose schedule. The dose schedule given to a subsequent cohort will be evaluated after all participants have been followed up for 1 cycle or experienced a DLT. The SRC will be presented with a complete safety report in addition to a set of predetermined dosing recommendations, such that all relevant information available may be considered before deciding upon the next dose schedule to be allocated.

Once safety has been confirmed, a dose-expansion phase is planned to assess the longer-term tolerability profile of the combination at the Recommended Dose. Patients will receive treatment in 28-day cycles until disease progression, withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicities.

Trial Arm D uses a combination which has already demonstrated a significant improvement in progression-free survival compared to standard-of-care treatment. Therefore, the trial design for Arm D does not include a dose escalation phase. Arm D uses a two-stage design to investigate if an alternative approach to ocular toxicity assessment using a clinician-led questionnaire called the Vision Related Anamnestic Tool (VRAT) can be used to safely guide belamaf dosing.

Participants will be allocated to an arm depending on which arms are open to recruitment. In order to allow assessment of the DLT period, arms will temporarily close during the dose-finding phase. Allocation to arms in the dose-escalation phase will be prioritised over the monotherapy arm and/or arms in the expansion phase. If multiple combination arms are open in the escalation stage, then prioritisation will be given to the cohort open the longest. If a participant is eligible for multiple arms in the expansion phase and all arms have a similar number of participants already allocated to them, then the participants will be allocated to one of the arms with equal probability. If there develops an imbalance between the arms (defined by a difference greater than a fixed constant in the number of participants allocated to each arm) then the procedure will skew the allocation in favour of those arms with fewer participants recruited.

Endpoint data will be collected at regular intervals during treatment and follow-up throughout the trial. This will be achieved by conducting the following trial procedures: physical examinations, ECOG, VRAT/ophthalmology assessments, pregnancy tests (if applicable), MyPOS questionnaire, Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) blood samples, and blood panels (chemistry & haematology).

Once the treatment phase is complete, participants will be followed up until one of the following occurs: disease progression, withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicities.

It is estimated patient may remain in treatment for approximately 1-3 years depending on response.


Previous interventions:
This is a multi-centre, multi-arm, phase I platform study in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients with 1-3 prior lines of therapy. The study comprises a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase. The trial will investigate the safety of belamaf both as a monotherapy (once every 28-day treatment cycle, intravenously ) and in novel combinations with other agents (belamaf once every other 28-day treatment cycle; combination treatments may vary). Participants will remain on treatment until progression, withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicities.

A number of baseline assessments need to be conducted prior to the first administration of trial treatment. These include: Physical exam including height, weight, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status, haematology and biochemistry assessments, urinalysis, PET-CT scan, electrocardiogram (ECG), ophthalmological examination, pregnancy test (if applicable), and Myeloma-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MyPOS).

As these treatment combinations have never previously been used in this population of multiple myeloma patients, a dose escalation phase is required for each combination arm. A monotherapy arm will be incorporated into the dose expansion phase to ensure the safety, toxicity, and efficacy data in the combination arms are interpretable within the context of the current study and patient population. A modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI-2) approach is proposed for dose-finding/safety evaluation, within each combination arm, to determine a safe dose schedule. The mTPI-2 is an adaptive model-based Bayesian design determining the probability that a patient experiences a DLT for each dose level given the observed data. Cohorts of 3 evaluable participants will be sequentially recruited to the combination arms of the trial until the recommended dose (RD) has been identified, or the trial stopped due to excessive toxicity at the lowest dose schedule. The dose schedule given to a subsequent cohort will be evaluated after all participants have been followed up for 1 cycle or experienced a DLT. The SRC will be presented with a complete safety report in addition to a set of predetermined dosing recommendations, such that all relevant information available may be considered before deciding upon the next dose schedule to be allocated.

Once safety has been confirmed, a dose-expansion phase is planned to assess the longer-term tolerability profile of the combination at the Recommended Dose. Patients will receive treatment in 28-day cycles until disease progression, withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicities.

Participants will be allocated to an arm depending on which arms are open to recruitment. In order to allow assessment of the DLT period, arms will temporarily close during the dose-finding phase.

If multiple combination arms are open in the escalation stage, then prioritisation will be given to the cohort open the longest. If a participant is eligible for multiple arms in the expansion phase and all arms have a similar number of participants already allocated them, then the participants will be allocated to one of the arms with equal probability. If there develops an imbalance between the arms (defined by a difference greater than a fixed constant in the number of participants allocated to each arm) then the procedure will skew the allocation in favour of those arms with fewer participants recruited.

This will be achieved by conducting the following trial procedures: physical examinations, ECOG, ophthalmology assessments, pregnancy tests (if applicable), MyPOS questionnaire, Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) blood samples, and blood panels (chemistry & haematology).

Once the treatment phase is complete, participants will be followed-up until one of the following occurs: disease progression, withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicities.

It is estimated patient may remain in treatment between approximately 1-3 years dependent on response.

Results and Publications

Intention to publish date01/07/2027
Individual participant data (IPD) Intention to shareYes
IPD sharing plan summaryAvailable on request
Publication and dissemination planPlanned publication in peer reviewed scientific journals, internal report, conference presentation, and publication in patient organisation publication (Myeloma UK).
IPD sharing planDe-identified individual participant data datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study will be available upon request from the Clinical Trials Research Unit, University of Leeds (contact CTRU-DataAccess@leeds.ac.uk in the first instance). Data will be made available at the end of the trial, i.e. usually when all primary and secondary endpoints have been met and all key analyses are complete. Data will remain available from then on for as long as CTRU retains the data.

CTRU makes data available by a 'controlled access' approach. Data will only be released for legitimate secondary research purposes, where the Chief Investigator, Sponsor and CTRU agree that the proposed use has scientific value and will be carried out to a high standard (in terms of scientific rigour and information governance and security), and that there are resources available to satisfy the request. Data will only be released in line with participants' consent, all applicable laws relating to data protection and confidentiality, and any contractual obligations to which the CTRU is subject. No individual participant data will be released before an appropriate agreement is in place setting out the conditions of release. The agreement will govern data retention, usually stipulating that data recipients must delete their copy of the released data at the end of the planned project.

The CTRU encourages a collaborative approach to data sharing, and believes it is best practice for researchers who generated datasets to be involved in subsequent uses of those datasets. Recipients of trial data for secondary research will also receive data dictionaries, copies of key trial documents and any other information required to understand and reuse the released datasets.

The conditions of release for aggregate data may differ from those applying to individual participant data. Requests for aggregate data should also be sent to the above email address to discuss and agree suitable requirements for release.
