Renal insufficiency: creatinine clearance \<40mL/min or serum creatinine \>177 μmol/L (\>2 mg/dL). iii. Anemia: hemoglobin \>2 g/dL below the lower limit of normal or hemoglobin \<10 g/dL. iv. Bone lesions: one or more osteolytic lesions on skeletal radiography, CT, or PET-CT. Biomarkers of Malignancy: 1. Clonal bone marrow plasma cell percentage ≥60%. 2. Involved: uninvolved serum FLC ratio ≥100. 3. \>1 focal lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. 3.

Not a candidate for high-dose chemotherapy with ASCT due to presence of significant comorbid condition(s), such as cardiac, pulmonary or other major organ dysfunction that are likely to have a negative impact on tolerability of high dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation, as judged by the investigator. The reason(s) for transplant ineligibility will be collected in the case report forms (CRFs). 5. ECOG status of 0-2 (see Appendix 1). 6. Adequate organ system function as defined by the below laboratory assessments. Hematologic * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 X 109/L; GCSF use is NOT allowed to reach this level. * Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL; transfusions are permitted. * Platelet count ≥ 50 x 109/L if bone marrow is \>50% involved in myeloma. Otherwise ≥75 x 109/L; transfusions are NOT allowed to reach this level. Hepatic * Total bilirubin ≤1.5X ULN (Isolated bilirubin ≥1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin \<35%). * ALT ≤ 2.5 X ULN. Renal * eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2; calculated using the Modified Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. * Spot urine (albumin/creatinine ratio) \<500 mg/g (56 mg/mmol) OR * Urine Dipstick: Negative trace; if ≥1+ only eligible if confirmed \<500 mg/g \[56 mg/mmol\] by albumin/creatinine ratio (spot urine from first void). 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) 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 prior to 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 3 months following discontinuation of belantamab mafodotin. 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 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 prior to initiating therapy. The first test should be performed within 10-14 days and the second test within 24 hours prior to 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 intervention. 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. WOCBP is a female who: * has achieved menarche at some time point * has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or * has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). 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 6 months after the last dose of belantamab mafodotin, whichever is longer, to allow for clearance of any altered sperm. • Refrain from donating sperm PLUS either: * Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent, OR * Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below: Agree to use a male condom, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy, and female partner to use an additional highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of \<1% per year as when having sexual intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential (including pregnant females). 9. Participants must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by providing written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: \- Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: 1. Prior systemic therapy for multiple myeloma, or SMM. * NOTE 1: An emergency course of steroids (defined as no greater than 40 mg of dexamethasone, or equivalent per day for a maximum of 4 days (that is, a total of 160 mg) is permitted. * NOTE 2: Focal palliative radiation is permitted prior to enrollment, provided that it occurred at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, that the participant has recovered from radiation-related toxicities, and that the participant did not require corticosteroid administration (for a longer period than that specified in NOTE 1 above) for radiation-induced adverse events 2. Participant is eligible for high dose chemotherapy with ASCT, as determined by a frailty score of 0 as assessed by the IMWG frailty index (1). 3. Peripheral neuropathy or neuropathic pain Grade 2 or higher, as defined by the NCI CTCAE Version 5. 4. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. 5. Presence of active renal condition (infection, requirement for dialysis or any other significant condition that could affect participant's safety). Participants with isolated proteinuria resulting from MM are eligible, provided they fulfil the other inclusion criteria. 6. Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric disorder or other conditions (including lab abnormalities) that could interfere with participant's safety, obtaining informed consent or compliance to the study procedures. 7. Evidence of active mucosal or internal bleeding uncontrolled by local therapy and not explained by reversible coagulopathy. 8. Current active liver or biliary disease (except for Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones, or otherwise stable chronic liver disease as per the Investigator's assessment). 9. Participants with previous or concurrent malignancies other than multiple myeloma are excluded. Exceptions are surgically treated cervical carcinoma in situ, or any other malignancy that has been considered medically stable for at least 2 years. The participant must not be receiving active therapy, other than hormonal therapy for this disease. o Note: Participants with curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer are allowed without a 2-year restriction. 10. Evidence of cardiovascular risk including any of the following: * Evidence of current clinically significant untreated arrhythmias, including clinically significant ECG abnormalities, second degree (Mobitz Type II) or third degree atrioventricular (AV) block. * History of myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes (including unstable angina), coronary angioplasty, or stenting or bypass grafting within 3 months of Screening. 11.

Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. * Note 2: presence of antiHBs indicating previous vaccination will not constitute an exclusion criterion. 16. Positive hepatitis C antibody test result or positive hepatitis C RNA test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study treatment unless the participant can meet the following criteria: * RNA test negative * Successful anti-viral treatment (usually 8 weeks duration) is required, followed by a negative HCV RNA test after a washout period of at least 4 weeks. 17.
