Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmacodynamics: Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets and induces apoptosis in cells that highly express CD38, including multiple myeloma cells. It has a long duration of action as it is given every 1-4 weeks. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of hypersensitivity, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, embryo-fetal toxicity, and interferences with cross-matching and red blood cell antibody screening.
• Targets: ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase 1
