Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to recall the current clinical use of BCMA-directed ADCs in multiple myeloma, approaches to managing associated ocular toxicities, and future perspectives for these therapies.


The treatment landscape for multiple myeloma (MM) continues to evolve, with B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed therapies expanding the range of available treatment options. Belantamab mafodotin, a BCMA-directed antibody–drug conjugate (ADC), has been approved in combination regimens for the treatment of relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) in some regions. Ongoing research continues to explore how to optimize treatment with belantamab mafodotin-based combinations and manage associated toxicities, alongside the potential future role of BCMA-directed ADCs in MM management. 

The Multiple Myeloma Hub spoke with Fredrik Schjesvold, Hermann Einsele, and Marc Raab about the clinical use of BCMA-directed ADCs in MM, including the positioning of belantamab mafodotin-based combinations in routine practice, the management of associated ocular toxicities, and future perspectives for BCMA-directed ADCs.
