The goal of this study is to test the safety of drug, Belantamab Mafodotin, and see what effects (good and bad) it has on people who take it and have amyloidosis, and to determine the most effective dose of the drug.

The study will have 2 phases (parts). The first phase of the study will test different doses of Belantamab Mafodotin. The second phase will test Belantamab Mafodotin at the dose level found to be safe and effective in phase 1

Amyloid light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis, ALA) is a rare plasma cell dyscrasia with an incidence ranging from 9.7-14.0 cases per million person-years. 75% of patients have cardiac involvement at diagnosis as evaluated by plasma cardiac biomarkers. The most common cause of morbidity and mortality is cardiac dysfunction.

Belantamab mafodotin has not been evaluated previously in patients with AL amyloidosis. Although Belantamab mafodotin has previously been or is currently being evaluated in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM), these MM studies do not enroll participants with clinically significant cardiac dysfunction.

ALA represents a new patient population and therapeutic indication where patients invariably will have clinically significant cardiac, renal or other organ dysfunction at study enrollment. Therefore, the Phase I/IIa RRAL study will be comprised of two parts:

Part 1 - Dose Exploration (Escalation) this will be conducted to identify and select an appropriate dose of Belantamab mafodotin in regard to safety, as well as a preliminary evaluation of hematological and organ response. Part 1 will enroll a minimum of 3 to maximum of 18 patients, and will be guided using the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design.

Part 2 - Dose Cohort Expansion this will be an expansion cohort to further define the depth and durability of both hematological and organ response in 19 additional patients for a total of up to 37 patients.

The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
2. A WOCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test (as required by local regulations) within 72 hours before the first dose of study intervention.
3. The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with a nearly undetected pregnancy.
4. Non-childbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):
