Additional studies are ongoing or planned to assess its potential in other malignant and pre-malignant haematologic diseases in which CD38 is expressed, such as
smouldering myeloma.
Currently, five Phase III clinical studies with daratumumab in relapsed and frontline multiple myeloma settings are ongoing and additional studies are ongoing or planned to assess its potential in other malignant and pre-malignant diseases on which CD38 is expressed, such as
smouldering myeloma, NKT-cell lymphoma, amyloidosis, myelodysplastic syndromes and solid tumours.
They recommend mandatory PET-CT to confirm suspected solitary plasmacytoma, if whole body MRI is unavailable, and to distinguish active from
