Overview

Daratumumab + thalidomide + dexamethasone is a combination regimen used primarily for the treatment of multiple myeloma, particularly in newly diagnosed patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplant. Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets CD38, a protein highly expressed on myeloma cells, leading to their destruction through mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), and direct apoptosis. Thalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent that inhibits angiogenesis, modulates the immune system to enhance anti-myeloma activity, and directly suppresses tumor growth. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that induces apoptosis in myeloma cells and enhances the efficacy of other agents in the combination. This regimen has demonstrated significant efficacy in improving response rates and progression-free survival compared to regimens without daratumumab[1][3][4][5].
