Abstract
CD38 antigen is a glycoprotein that found on the surface of several immune cells, and this property makes its monoclonal antibodies have the effect of targeted elimination of immune cells. Therefore, the CD38 monoclonal antibody (such as daratumumab, Isatuximab) becomes a new treatment option for membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, renal transplantation, and other refractory kidney diseases. This review summarizes the application of CD38 monoclonal antibodies in different kidney diseases and highlights future prospects.

[PMID: 38672183 PMCID: PMC11048002 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12040828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Nephrology is an ever-evolving field of medicine. The importance of such a discipline is related to the high clinical impact of kidney disease. In fact, abnormalities of kidney function and/or structure are common in the general population, reaching an overall prevalence of about 10%. More importantly, the onset of kidney damage is related to a strikingly high risk of cardiovascular events, mortality, and progression to kidney failure which, in turn, compromises quality and duration of life. Attempts to comprehend the pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms involved in kidney disease occurrence have prompted the development and implementation of novel drugs in clinical practice with the aim of treating the 'specific cause' of kidney disease (including chronic kidney disease, glomerular disease, and genetic kidney disorders) and the main immunological complications following kidney transplantation. Herein, we provide an overview of the principal emerging drug classes with proved efficacy in the context of the aforementioned clinical conditions. This can represent a simplified guide for clinical nephrologists to remind them of the vast and heterogeneous armamentarium of drugs that should be used in the present and the future to improve the management of patients suffering from kidney disease.

Hughes MS, Lentzsch S. Safety and Efficacy of Subcutaneous Daratumumab in Systemic AL Amyloidosis. Ther Clin Risk Manag 2023; 19:1063-1074. [PMID: 38164204 PMCID: PMC10758190 DOI: 10.2147/tcrm.s325859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Systemic AL amyloidosis, a plasma cell dyscrasia, is characterized by the production of misfolded immunoglobulin light chain. These misfolded proteins aggregate into amyloid fibrils and deposit throughout the body, resulting in widespread organ dysfunction and ultimately death. Achieving rapid and maximal elimination of the plasma cell clone is crucial to long-term survival. Daratumumab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody delivered intravenously, has been swiftly incorporated into standard first-line treatment regimens. A novel formulation of daratumumab has been developed that can be injected subcutaneously. Areas Covered As a retrospective qualitative review of prior publications involving daratumumab, this work briefly summarizes the existing data regarding the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab, compared to intravenous (IV) daratumumab. SC daratumumab appears to deliver the same disease benefit as IV daratumumab to patients with decreased infusion-related reactions (IRRs), decreased time for administration, and similar rates of adverse events (AEs) intrinsically related to daratumumab. Expert Opinion SC daratumumab is preferred over IV daratumumab, but the clinical situation ultimately should determine route of administration. Further investigation into cost-effectiveness benefit is warranted.
