Managing Infusion Reactions to New Monoclonal Antibodies in Multiple Myeloma: Daratumumab and Elotuzumab.
Journal of Oncology Practice 2018 July
Monoclonal antibodies (elotuzumab and daratumumab) are the newest class of drugs that have proven to be efficacious antimyeloma agents. Although daratumumab, a CD38 monoclonal antibody, has established its efficacy as a single agent and in combination with immunomodulatory agents and proteasome inhibitors, elotuzumab (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule F7 monoclonal antibody) has proven activity in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. Infusion-related reactions (respiratory and nonrespiratory) seem to be a common theme of adverse events with monoclonal antibodies, although the relative incidence differs across these two agents. Identifying the appropriate pre- and postinfusion medication strategies can help lower the rates of infusion-related reactions and facilitate reduction in infusion times. In this article, we review the incidence of the infusion-related reactions with elotuzumab and daratumumab and their clinical activity in myeloma, review our institutional experience of management of infusion-related reactions, and provide some practical mitigation strategies to reduce their incidence.
