Indication |
DARZALEX is a human CD38-directed monoclonal antibody indicated for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and an immunomodulatory agent or who are double-refractory to a PI and an immunomodulatory agent. |
Cell Substrate |
Mammalian Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line |
Manufacturing platform |
Daratumumab active substance is manufactured in an 11-stage process consisting of fed batch cell culture followed by purification with a series of chromatography, viral inactivation, and filtration steps. Formulation also takes place at the active substance level. The concentrated viral inactivation and neutralization (VIN) intermediate is obtained at Stage 5b. The CMC strategy for comparability included an evaluation of QC batch release results and additional biochemical, biophysical, and biological characterization data according to the guidance provided in ICH Q5E. |
