Abstrakt: Introduction: The prevalence of multiple myeloma (MM) has gradually increased over the last few decades in India due to growing population, better disease awareness, and improved diagnostic procedures. Despite such advances, MM remains an incurable and relapsing disease due to its heterogeneity and genomic instability. With the inclusion of monoclonal antibodies, especially daratumumab in the frontline regimen, the management landscape of MM has improved significantly resulting in better disease control and patient outcomes.
Areas Covered: This review aims to provide an in-depth summary of efficacy and safety of frontline daratumumab therapy in treatment of MM including patients with high-risk cytogenetic profile.
Expert Opinion: Based on the review of literature, daratumumab in frontline therapy has demonstrated improved efficacy in terms of reduction in disease progression or death, and superior minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity rates with an acceptable safety profile in patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) including patients with high-risk cytogenetic profile. Daratumumab alone or in combination with other drugs has shown similar clinical outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory MM. Hence, daratumumab can be used upfront in patients with MM.
