ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Belantamab mafodotin is a relatively new drug used in the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Clinical studies have shown promising responses, but ocular toxicity remains a major challenge with dose reduction or therapy discontinuation being the only available treatment option. We report a clinical case of a patient with severe keratopathy under therapy with belantamab. The use of rigid gas-permeable corneal contact lenses led to a major visual improvement and enabled therapy continuation at full dose over several months. Although this strategy may not be suitable for all patients, it provides an additional option for the treatment of ocular toxicity of this promising agent.
