Abstract

Abstract: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a treatment option for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with the regulatory approval of the first-in-class B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) ADC belantamab mafodotin. Other BCMA and non-BCMA ADCs are currently in clinical development. Whereas ADCs allow antigen-specific delivery of a chemomoiety to myeloma cells, on-target and off-target effects related to antigen target, antibody, linker, and chemomoiety can also limit these approaches. We review the clinical development of belantamab mafodotin and ongoing efforts to enhance its efficacy while mitigating ocular toxicity. The landscape of other ADCs being evaluated clinically in patients with multiple myeloma will also be reviewed.
