This episode explains the new NICE-approved combination of belantamab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone for people whose myeloma has relapsed after first-line treatment, including benefits, side effects and how treatment decisions are made.

📌Key Takeaways:

  • This new combination can keep myeloma under control for nearly three years after first relapse.
  • Eye side effects are common but closely monitored, reversible and manageable with dose changes.
  • Patients now have real choice between tablet-based or injection-based combinations after relapse.
