Abstract: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant clonal disease that is characterized by proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Although the therapy for MM has made great process in recent years, it remains an incurable disease. Daratumumab (DARA) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets CD38 with broad-spectrum killing activity. Recent studies have shown that DARA induces rapid MM cell death via several mechanisms. Here, the CD38 molecule and DARA as a single agent or in combination with other agents in the treatment of relapsed/refractory MM in preclinical experiments and clinical trials were reviewed to show the mechanisms of DARA in inducing rapid death of MM cells and the efficacy and safety of DARA in the treatment of relapsed/refractory MM patients. It may provide new research directions in the treatment of relapsed/refractory MM patients with DARA.
