Scotland's Scottish Medicines Consortium has approved GSK's Blenrep (belantamab mafodotin) in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone as a second-line treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients. This decision, based on the DREAMM-7 study, is expected to benefit around 300 patients annually, showing significant improvements in progression-free survival and a 42% reduction in death risk. Healthcare professionals express optimism about the therapy's potential to enhance patient quality of life.
