Overview

Generic Name(s):
daratumumab
Trade Name(s):
Humax-Cd38 and Darzalex
NCI Definition [1]:
A fully human monoclonal antibody directed against the cell surface glycoprotein CD-38 with potential antineoplastic activity. The binding of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody to natural killer (NK) cells mimics the normal CD38-CD31 interaction on the NK cell surface. CD38 is also present on multiple myeloma (MM) cells and plasma leukemia cells; this agent may preferentially bind these cells, triggering antitumoral antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). CD38, a cell surface glycoprotein, is present on various immune cells and has been shown to regulate the cytotoxic response of activated NK cells.

Daratumumab has been investigated in 91 clinical trials, of which 88 are open and 3 are closed. Of the trials investigating daratumumab, 2 are early phase 1 (2 open), 10 are phase 1 (10 open), 16 are phase 1/phase 2 (14 open), 53 are phase 2 (52 open), 1 is phase 2/phase 3 (1 open), and 9 are phase 3 (9 open).

del(17)(p10), t(4;14)(p16;q32), and IGH-FGFR3 Fusion are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for daratumumab clinical trials.

Multiple myeloma, smoldering plasma cell myeloma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia are the most common diseases being investigated in daratumumab clinical trials [2].
