Medical uses
Daratumumab/hyaluronidase is indicated for the treatment of adults with multiple myeloma:[1]
- in combination with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone (D-VMP) in newly diagnosed adults who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant[2][1]
- in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (D-Rd) in newly diagnosed adults who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant and in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy[2][1]
- in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone (D-Vd) in adults who have received at least one prior therapy[2][1]
- as monotherapy, in adults who have received at least three prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and an immunomodulatory agent or who are double-refractory to a PI and an immunomodulatory agent.[2][1]
History
It was approved for use in the United States in May 2020.[1][3][4]
Efficacy of daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihji (monotherapy) was evaluated in the COLUMBA trial (NCT03277105), an open-label non-inferiority trial randomizing 263 participants to daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and 259 to intravenous daratumumab (daratumumab IV).[1] The trial's co-primary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR) and pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoint of the maximum Ctrough on cycle 3, day 1 pre-dose.[1] Daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj was non-inferior to daratumumab IV in evaluating these two endpoints.[1]
Efficacy of daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj in combination with VMP (D-VMP) was evaluated in a single-arm cohort of the PLEIADES trial (NCT03412565), a multi-cohort, open‑label trial.[1] Eligible participants were required to have newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and were ineligible for transplant.[1]
Efficacy of daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj in combination with Rd (D-Rd) was evaluated in a single-arm cohort of this trial.[1] Eligible participants had received at least one prior line of therapy.
