Popis: Multiple myeloma is mostly an incurable disease. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted daratumumab accelerated approval in November 2015 as monotherapy for patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent, or who are double refractory to a proteasome and an immunomodulatory agent. This article describes the FDA review of the strength of evidence for this application and its clinical implications for the multiple myeloma population.
On November 21, 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted regular approval to daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. Approval was based on two randomized, open‐label trials in which daratumumab was added to these backbone therapies. The MMY3003 trial demonstrated substantial improvement in progression‐free survival (PFS) when daratumumab was added to lenalidomide and dexamethasone compared with lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone. The estimated median PFS had not been reached in the daratumumab arm and was 18.4 months in the control arm (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.27–0.52; p
