Concomitant therapy supplements

Dexamethasone for antitumor therapy is covered by dexamethasone of allergy prophylaxis on days 1,8 and 15. The use of methylprednisolone p.o. at a low dose (less than 20 mg) or equivalent should be considered on day 3 after infusion of daratumumab. Montelukast in allergy prophylaxis is optional starting on day 8. Levofloxacin infection prophylaxis (2 x 250mg/day) is recommended for the first 3 months after initiation of therapy in patients at high risk of infection (ESMO Guideline 02/2020). In obstructive lung disease, the use of short- and long-acting bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids should be considered after daratumumab infusion. If no significant IRRs occur, inhaled agents may be discontinued after the first four infusions.
