What is DARZALEX FASPRO?
DARZALEX FASPRO is the brand name for daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and is available as a subcutaneous injection.

What is DARZALEX FASPRO used for?
DARZALEX FASPRO is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody and is used for the following:
Multiple myeloma:
- Given alone or in combination with certain other medications for people who haven’t responded well to previous treatments
- Given in combination with certain medications (other medications differ for people who can and can’t receive a stem-cell transplant)
- Light chain amyloidosis with certain other medications
How does DARZALEX FASPRO work?
DARZALEX FASPRO is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. It treats multiple myeloma by targeting a specific protein called CD38 on the cells’ surface. Many cells, including healthy cells, have this protein. But multiple myeloma cells just have more of them. By binding to this protein, DARZALEX FASPRO attacks and kills the cancer cells, and also signals to the immune system to do the same. As a result, multiple myeloma cells can’t grow and spread as well. The hyaluronidase works by helping the active medication (daratumumab) get absorbed under the skin.
How do I take DARZALEX FASPRO?
DARZALEX FASPRO is dosed as follows:
Multiple myeloma:
- When DARZALEX FASPRO is given alone, the typical dose is 1 injection once a week for 8 doses, then every 2 weeks for 8 doses, then every 4 weeks thereafter
- When DARZALEX FASPRO is given together with other anticancer medications, your provider will determine your dose and how often you receive it based on what medication combination you’re takin
Light chain amyloidosis:
- The typical dose is 1 injection once a week for 8 doses, then every 2 weeks for 8 doses, then every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 2 years
