FDA Approves Daratumumab for Patients With Previously Treated Multiple Myeloma
Today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval for daratumumab (Darzalex) to treat patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior treatments, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent, or who are double-refractory to a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent. Daratumumab is the first monoclonal antibody approved for treating multiple myeloma.
