This research study is a Pilot Study, which is the first time investigators are examining this study drug in your specific disease. The purpose of this research study is to learn whether daratumumab works in treating your MGUS or SMM. Patients with MGUS and SMM do not have symptoms but are at risk for progressing to active multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cell, which is an important part of the immune system. Patients with active multiple myeloma generally require treatment. There are currently no approved therapies for smoldering multiple myeloma or Monoclonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance. Daratumumab is a drug that may kill or stop cancer cells from growing through a variety of mechanisms by attaching to the CD38 molecule, which is over-expressed in multiple myeloma cells. This type of drug is called a monoclonal antibody. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved Daratumumab for the participant specific disease but it has been approved for use in active Multiple Myeloma.
