Daratumumab-Based Combinational Therapy as Second-Line Treatment of Relapsed-Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Single-Center Experience.
Observational study in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDaratumumab represents the first-in-class fully humanized monoclonal antibody that targets CD38 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Evidence from randomized controlled trials has shown daratumumab to be efficacious in the setting of second-line combinational therapy for pretreated multiple myeloma. However, real-world evidence that supports daratumumab use in daily clinical practice remains scarce.
aimThe primary objective of this study was to describe the real-world clinical and adverse effects observed in RRMM patients receiving daratumumab as second-line therapy.
methodsThis was an observational case series with a retrospective chart review of pretreated multiple myeloma patients who received daratumumab-based combinational therapy at an academic medical center. The primary end point was progression-free survival. Additional end points included overall response rates, adverse effects of daratumumab therapy, and subsequent treatment options following daratumumab.
resultsSeventeen patients were included. The overall response rate of daratumumab in our patients with RRMM was 13/17 (76.5%), and the median progression-free survival was 20 months when daratumumab was used in the second-line setting. Common adverse effects included neutropenia (52.9%), thrombocytopenia (64.7%), anemia (35.7%), and pneumonia (35.3%). On follow-up, 10 patients remained alive at the experimental cut-off date, with 2 patients kept on daratumumab-based combinational therapy; 5 patients were switched to carfilzomib-based therapy; and 3 received best supportive care.
conclusionIn our single-center experience with Taiwanese RRMM patients, daratumumab in combinational therapy showed promising efficacy, and modest tolerance in the second-line setting.
