Indications and clinical applications of Elotuzumab

Elotuzumab (Elotuzumab) is an immunomodulatory monoclonal antibody used to treat multiple myeloma. It mainly works by enhancing the anti-tumor activity of natural killer cells (NK cells). SLAMF7 is an important immune receptor on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and NK cells. Evolizumab activates the immune system to recognize and eliminate myeloma cells by targeting SLAMF7.

In terms of clinical application, evolizumab is mainly used in combination with other drugs to treat multiple myeloma (MM), especially for patients who are resistant to conventional treatments. Based on clinical studies, evolizumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone has shown promising efficacy in adults with multiple myeloma who have received one to three prior lines of therapy. Studies have shown that this combination therapy can significantly improve patients' overall survival and progression-free survival, making it an important option in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

In addition, evolizumab is also used in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone to treat patients with multiple myeloma who have failed at least two therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. The efficacy of this combination further demonstrates the versatility and effectiveness of evolizumab in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Through this immune system activation mechanism, evolizumab can significantly improve the immune response of myeloma patients, slow down the progression of the disease, and enhance the patient's sensitivity to other drugs.

The advantage of evolizumab is that it has a clear targeting effect and can reduce the impact on healthy cells. This has a lower risk of side effects compared with traditional chemotherapy drugs. In addition, evolizumab has a unique immunomodulatory effect and can effectively enhance the anti-tumor activity of natural killer cells, which is crucial for the treatment of refractory diseases such as multiple myeloma.
