About DARZALEX®
(daratumumab)DARZALEX® (daratumumab) is the first
monoclonal antibody (mAb) to receive U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approval to treat multiple myeloma and has become a
backbone therapy in the treatment of this disease. Daratumumab is
being developed by Janssen Biotech, Inc. under an exclusive
worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize
daratumumab from Genmab. The subcutaneous formulation of
daratumumab (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) is the first
subcutaneous CD38 antibody approved for the treatment of multiple
myeloma and the first and only approved treatment for patients with
light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. Daratumumab is a human IgG1k
monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds with high affinity to the CD38
molecule, which is highly expressed on the surface of multiple
myeloma cells. Daratumumab triggers a person’s own immune system to
attack the cancer cells, resulting in rapid tumor cell death
through multiple immune-mediated mechanisms of action and through
immunomodulatory effects, in addition to direct tumor cell death,
via apoptosis (programmed cell death). 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
