EMPLICITI
Empliciti (elotuzumab) is a SLAMF7-directed immunostimulatory antibody indicated for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma. It is used in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for patients who have received one to three prior therapies. The drug is also indicated for use with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor.
How EMPLICITI Works
Elotuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the SLAMF7 protein expressed on myeloma cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells. The drug directly activates NK cells through the SLAMF7 pathway and targets SLAMF7 on myeloma cells to mediate cell killing through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and phagocytosis. When used in combination with lenalidomide or pomalidomide, the therapy demonstrates enhanced NK cell activation and increased anti-tumor activity.
