WHAT DARZALEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT DARZALEX IS
DARZALEX is a cancer medicine that contains the active substance
daratumumab. It belongs to a
group of medicines called “monoclonal antibodies”. Monoclonal
antibodies are proteins that have
been designed to recognise and attach to specific targets in the body.
Daratumumab has been designed
to attach to specific cancer cells in your body, so that your immune
system can destroy the cancer
cells.
WHAT DARZALEX IS USED FOR
DARZALEX is used in adults 18 years or older, who have a type of
cancer called “multiple
myeloma”. This is a cancer of your bone marrow.
