What is BLENREP?
BLENREP 70 MG contains BELANTAMAB MAFODOTIN : 70 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02559617, held by GLAXOSMITHKLINE INC, supplied as POWDER FOR SOLUTION for INTRAVENOUS administration. Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 11-Aug-2025. Nexara Health is a licensed Canadian wholesale distributor (DEL 3-002896-A) and can source this product for hospitals, pharmacies and clinics. Availability and lead time are confirmed per order.
What is BLENREP used for?
In combination with bortezomib/dexamethasone or pomalidomide/dexamethasone for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in adults who have received at least one prior therapy.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
Is there a generic Belantamab Mafodotin in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
Only one market authorization holder has a Canadian DIN containing Belantamab Mafodotin — 2 DINs, of which 2 are currently marketed. There is no second Canadian source today, so a supply interruption on this holder has no domestic substitute at the same molecule.
| Market authorization holder | DINs | Marketed | Brand names | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GLAXOSMITHKLINE INC | 2 | 2 | BLENREP | Sourceable in Canada |
Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 70 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | POWDER FOR SOLUTION |
| Route | INTRAVENOUS |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | Single-use vials containing 70 mg (blue cap) or 100 mg (orange cap) of belantamab mafodotin. |
| Storage | Reconstituted: Refrigerated (2-8°C) or room temp (20-25°C) for up to 4 hours. Diluted: Refrigerated (2-8°C) for up to 24 hours; room temp for max 6 hours. Do not freeze. |
| Shipping class | Cold chain — validated shipper with temperature monitoring |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.
Cold chain. This product is stored refrigerated. Nexara ships it on a validated cold chain with temperature monitoring; a delivery address that cannot receive and store it at 2–8 °C on arrival must be flagged before the order is placed.

Serious Warning: Corneal epithelium changes (keratopathy) resulting in vision changes, dry eyes, or severe visual impairment. Requires frequent ophthalmic exams. Risk of thrombocytopenia.
What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.

Nexara Health supplies this product to licensed Canadian buyers — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, licensed distributors, and clinical trial sponsors or their CROs.

Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
