Newly Diagnosed: D + VTD Treatment | DARZALEX® IV (daratumumab)

DARZALEX® Treatment:

DARZALEX® in combination with Velcade®
(bortezomib) + thalidomide + dexamethasone

The frequency and length of DARZALEX® infusions decreases over time.

On average, the first DARZALEX® infusion may take about 7 hours. However, your doctor may choose to give the first dose as two shorter infusions over two consecutive days.

Future infusions will take less time and last 3 to 5 hours, not including check-in and check-out time. After the initial rounds, DARZALEX® treatments are needed only once every four weeks.
