Descrizione sintetica in italiano | Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a hematologic neoplasm characterized by the presence of tumoral plasma cells which produce a monoclonal immunoglobulin, whose accumulation induce organ damages and clinical symptoms as hypercalcemia, renal impairment, anaemia and bone lesions. New drugs improved the quality of response to therapy, elongating remission and survival of myeloma patients. The evolution of techniques for the evaluation of minimal residual disease (MRD), as next generation flow (NGF), permit a better quantification of the disease, and to recognize those patients able to achieve Complete Response. Daratumumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD38 receptor on monoclonal plasma cells, inducing their death by apoptosis, could be a good drug as a consolidation therapy; however, there is the need to clarify the mechanisms who might influence treatment response, such as the role of immunity or of the microenvironment in which tumour cells survive and proliferate |
