Title:

The Binding of CD38 Therapeutics to Red Blood Cells and Platelets Subverts Depletion of Target Cells

Published date:

Excerpt:
Conversely, TAK-079 bound 181% more potently than daratumumab to CD38 expressed on blood B lymphocytes (e.g. MFI mean EC50 =3.6 & 6.6 nM, respectively) and 259% more potently to blood T lymphocytes (e.g. MFI mean EC50 = 9.3 & 24.2 nM, respectively)....Furthermore, bone marrow myeloma and plasma cells were completely saturated by TAK-079 and reduced at subcutaneous doses ≥ 300mg administered weekly.
