: Belantamab mafodotin, a monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF)–containing monoclonal antibody‐drug conjugate (ADC), demonstrated deep and durable responses in the DRiving Excellence in Approaches to Multiple Myeloma (DREAMM)‐1 and pivotal DREAMM‐2 studies in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. As with other MMAF‐containing ADCs, ocular adverse events were observed. To predict the effects of belantamab mafodotin dosing regimens and dose‐modification strategies on efficacy and ocular safety end points, DREAMM‐1 and DREAMM‐2 data across a range of doses were used to develop an integrated simulation framework incorporating two separate longitudinal models and the published population pharmacokinetic model. A concentration‐driven tumor growth inhibition model described the time course of serum M‐protein concentration, a measure of treatment response, whereas a discrete time Markov model described the time course of ocular events graded with the GSK Keratopathy and Visual Acuity scale. Significant covariates included baseline β[sub.2]‐microglobulin on growth rate, baseline M‐protein on kill rate, extramedullary disease on the effect compartment rate constant, and baseline soluble B cell maturation antigen on maximal effect. Efficacy and safety end points were simulated for various doses with dosing intervals of 1, 3, 6, and 9 weeks and various event‐driven dose‐modification strategies. Simulations predicted that lower doses and longer dosing intervals were associated with lower probability and lower overall time with Grade 3+ and Grade 2+ ocular events compared with the reference regimen (2.5 mg/kg every 3 weeks), with a less‐than‐proportional reduction in efficacy. The predicted improved benefit–risk profiles of certain dosing schedules and dose modifications from this integrated framework has informed trial designs for belantamab mafodotin, supporting dose‐optimization strategies.
