Multiple Myeloma Hub spotlight: CD38 as a therapeutic target for MM

CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed on malignant plasma cells, making it a key therapeutic target for MM. Anti-CD38 mAbs, isatuximab and daratumumab act to target CD38 on MM cells, leading to cell death.

As a result of this content, I commit to reviewing the latest data and clinical updates for CD38-directed therapies for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
