It sounds like you're asking about daratumumab (Darzalex) for smoldering myeloma — great question! While Darzalex is FDA-approved for active myeloma, its use for smoldering myeloma is still being explored in clinical trials rather than as a standard treatment.

A clinical trial launched in 2017 has been studying daratumumab in adults with smoldering myeloma, monitoring safety, side effects, and whether it can slow or prevent progression to active myeloma. As for personal experiences from the community, a MyMyelomaTeam member may have shared insights on this, but it's still a relatively emerging area.

It's worth having a conversation with your oncologist about whether a clinical trial involving daratumumab might be a good fit. You can also explore options at ClinicalTrials.gov to find studies you may qualify for.

Keep in mind that for smoldering myeloma, some doctors take a "watchful waiting" approach, while others may recommend bone-strengthening medications like bisphosphonates to protect against bone damage in the meantime.
