Shaji K. Kumar, MD, professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, discusses daratumumab (Darzalex) in multiple myeloma.
The first monoclonal antibodies have been approved for use in multiple myeloma. Daratumumab, a monoclonal antibody, binds to CD38, which is overexpressed by multiple myeloma cells.
The results seen with daratumumab have been quite striking, says Kumar. There have been 2 large phase III trials, both of which showed adding daratumumab to regularly used regimens improved progression-free survival.
