CDSCO Panel grants GSK’s Protocol Amendment Proposal To Study Belantamab mafodotin

New Delhi: The Subject Expert Committee (SEC) functional under the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has approved the drug major GlaxoSmithKline’s protocol amendment proposal for the clinical trial titled “A Phase 2, Randomized, Parallel, Open-Label Study to Investigate the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Various Dosing Regimens of Single-Agent Belantamab Mafodotin (GSK2857916) in Participants with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (DREAMM-14).”

This came after GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals presented protocol amendment 03 dated 25 June 2024 protocol no. 209628.

Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody conjugated with a cytotoxic agent for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Belantamab mafodotin is a humanized IgG1κ monoclonal antibody against the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) conjugated with a cytotoxic agent, maleimidocaproyl monomethyl auristatin F (mcMMAF). The antibody-drug conjugate binds to BCMA on myeloma cell surfaces causing cell cycle arrest and inducing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

Belantamab mafodotin is indicated for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior therapies, including an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, and an immunomodulatory agent.

At the recent SEC meeting held on 18 September 2024, the expert panel reviewed protocol amendment 03, dated 25 June 2024, protocol no. 209628.

After detailed deliberation, the committee recommended the approval of the protocol amendment presented by the firm.
