Darzalex for the stand-alone maintenance of Multiple Myeloma (MM)?

Posted by mmark @mmark, 3 days ago

Is anyone using Darzalex as a stand alone maintenance treatment for Multiple Myeloma? I have been MRD negative for a 18 months and wanted to cut back on the Revlimid. I will still get my monthly Dar injection and blood tests to monitor.

@theocratic @mmark my husband started darzalex and pomalyst but some months in to treatment he needed an eye surgery. Since his myeloma was in check and he can’t take pomalyst without aspirin the doctor just removed the pomalyst for a while. The eye surgery turned into six surgeries over many months, the doctor said the plan was always to eliminate the pomalyst eventually so let’s just not go back on it. He has remained at MRD with just Darzalex.
I hope this helps.
Have you talked to your doctor about removing the revlomid?
