Combination therapies such as Dara-Rd and Dara-Vd show significantly higher survival rates after 12 months than the respective therapies without Daratumumab. The initial infusion of Daratumumab is associated with a high incidence of IRR. Dosage and speed of infusion of Daratumumab have to be strictly controlled. Any suspicion of even low IRR requires corrections. Concomitant medication before and after Daratumumab administration is required. For this purpose, various preparations have been tested in everyday clinical practice. Eight hours of infusion may be required. This does not only overwhelm the patient, but also the most ambulant structures. The split-dose concept means to divide the dose into infusions on different days. Again, the dosage is crucial for good compatibility., Competing Interests: CS: Beratungstätigkeit/Reise- und Kongressunterstützung/Vortragshonorare: Amgen, Bristol-Myers, Squibb, Celgene, Janssen-Cilag, Novartis, TakedaME: Educational grants Janssen, Celgene, Novartis, MSD.
