What medical applications does Daratumumab generally have?

"Daratumumab is regularly utilized as a biological response modifier to mediate various medical ailments, such as refractory multiple myeloma and post-cell transplant relapses."

Answered by AI

Has Daratumumab obtained governmental endorsement from the Food and Drug Administration?

"The safety of Daratumumab was rated a 2 since this is only in Phase 2, and hence the data collected thus far has not established efficacy but does suggest general safety."

Answered by AI

What are the projected consequences this research will produce?

"The primary outcome of this medical trial evaluated over a 12-month period following the initial infusion of Daratumumab will be assessed for efficacy in terms of complete (CR) or partial response (PR). Secondary outcomes include changes to ds-DNA, hematuria and proteinuria. Specifically, researchers are monitoring improvement from baseline values as measured by international units per milliliter (IU/mL), urinalysis and milligrams per 24 hours respectively."

Answered by AI

Are any new participants being enrolled for the research at this juncture?

"Yes, the information available on clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this research is currently seeking participants. It was initially advertised on April 20th 2021 and it has been recently updated as of August 26th 2022. The investigators are attempting to recruit 12 people from a single site."

Answered by AI

To what extent have prior trials been conducted with Daratumumab?

"Presently, there are 140 clinical trials for Daratumumab with 26 in the final stage of testing. Most of them can be found in Harrison, New york; however numerous other cities have running studies on this medication as well."

Answered by AI

How many participants are taking part in this clinical experiment?

"Affirmative. Evidence on clinicaltrials.gov implies that the trial is currently seeking participants, which was initially posted on April 20th 2021 and updated as recently as August 26th 2022. The study requires 12 people across a single research centre to complete it."
