We investigated the frequency and pattern of detection of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (t-mAbs) daratumumab and elotuzumab by routine serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) and immunofixation (IF) in treated patients with myeloma.
Detection of t-mAb was assessed in 22 patients by retrospective review of SPE/IF ordered prior to, during, and after 26 individual courses of therapy.
t-mAb was distinguishable from M-protein in 16 of 26 courses, with daratumumab detected in nine of nine and elotuzumab in six of seven patients. t-mAb was detected on first follow-up SPE/IF in 12 patients, with earliest detection 7 days after therapy initiation and latest detection 70 days after therapy. t-mAb persisted throughout induction therapy in most patients, with loss of detection during maintenance daratumumab.
When distinguishable from M-protein, t-mAbs are detectable in 93% of treated patients as soon as 7 days after the initial dose and are consistently observed throughout induction therapy, warranting increased monitoring and careful interpretation of SPE/IF.
我们通过对骨髓瘤患者治疗前后的常规血清蛋白电泳(SPE)和免疫固定(IF)检测,研究了治疗性单克隆抗体(t-mAb)达雷妥尤单抗和埃罗妥珠单抗的检测频率和模式。
通过回顾性分析 26 个疗程之前、期间和之后的 SPE/IF 检测,评估了 22 例患者中 t-mAb 的检测情况。
在 26 个疗程中,有 16 个疗程可以区分 t-mAb 和 M 蛋白,其中达雷妥尤单抗在 9 个疗程中检测到,埃罗妥珠单抗在 7 个疗程中检测到。在 12 例患者的首次随访 SPE/IF 中检测到 t-mAb,最早在治疗开始后 7 天检测到,最晚在治疗后 70 天检测到。t-mAb 在大多数患者的诱导治疗期间持续存在,在达雷妥尤单抗维持治疗期间检测不到。
当可以与 M 蛋白区分时,t-mAb 在初始剂量后最早 7 天就可以在 93%的治疗患者中检测到,并且在整个诱导治疗期间持续观察到,需要增加监测并仔细解释 SPE/IF。
