DARZALEX FASPRO® and DARZALEX® are prescription medicines used alone or in combination with one or more treatments for adults with a rare form of blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Read on to learn more
about what DARZALEX FASPRO® and DARZALEX® are indicated to treat.
DARZALEX FASPRO® and DARZALEX® are not chemotherapies. They are targeted
monoclonal antibodies that help slow or stop the progression of multiple myeloma in
several ways.
Both treatments are made up of
daratumumab
(pronounced da-ra-tu-mu-mab ) to treat multiple myeloma.
DARZALEX FASPRO® is also made up of hyaluronidase
(pronounced hy-a-lur-on-i-dase ), which helps daratumumab to be injected into the skin and absorbed in the body.
Multiple myeloma cells, like other types of cancer, can go unrecognized by your body's immune system, which allows the cells to grow.
Daratumumab attaches itself to the CD38 protein on the surface of multiple myeloma cells, as well as on certain other types of cells such as red blood cells.
Daratumumab directly kills multiple myeloma cells and/
or enables your immune system to identify and destroy them. Because of the way daratumumab works, it may also affect some normal cells.
