Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study will evaluate different doses of belantamab mafodotin in combination with daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone in 2 cohorts and will determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) to be further evaluated for safety and clinical activity in the dose expansion cohort. The RP2D dose will be used for future studies in the transplant ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma setting.
Overall, approximately 36 participants will be enrolled in the study. Participant follow-up will continue up to 3 years after the last participant is randomized. The estimated accrual period will be 12 months corresponding to an approximate total study duration of 4 years.

7. Female participants: contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies:
A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
* Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) defined as follows:
1. ≥ 45 years of age and has not had menses for \> 1 year
2. Participants who have been amenorrhoeic for \< 2 years without history of a hysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation
3. Post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation. Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure.
OR
* Is a WOCBP and using two methods of reliable birth control (one method that is highly effective and one additional effective \[barrier\] method), beginning 4 weeks before initiating treatment with lenalidomide, during therapy, during dose interruptions, and continuing for 4 weeks following discontinuation of lenalidomide treatment. Thereafter, WOCBP participants must use one method of reliable birth control that is highly effective for a further 4 months following discontinuation of belantamab mafodotin or 3 months following the discontinuation of daratumumab. WOCBP must also agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during treatment, during dose interruptions and for 28-days following the last dose of lenalidomide or 3 months following discontinuation of daratumumab treatment or 4 months following discontinuation of belantamab mafodotin treatment whichever is longer. For contraception guidance please refer to Appendix 2.
A WOCBP must have two negative pregnancy tests before therapy initiation. The first test should be performed within 10-14 days and the second test within 24 hours before the start of lenalidomide therapy.
The participant should not receive lenalidomide until the investigator has verified that the results of these pregnancy tests are negative. The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study treatment. The investigator is responsible for a review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with a nearly undetected pregnancy.
8. Male participants: contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies:
Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and until 28 days after the last dose of lenalidomide or 3 months following the discontinuation of daratumumab or 6 months after the last dose of belantamab mafodotin, whichever is longer, to allow for clearance of any altered sperm.
