FDA approved daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj, marketed as Darzalex Faspro, for adults with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma.

The approval is important because smoldering myeloma sits between asymptomatic precursor disease and active multiple myeloma.

Treating earlier can change the disease trajectory, but it also raises questions about patient selection, risk scoring and long-term benefit.

Why It Matters

Earlier intervention in precursor conditions can reshape hematology care, but it depends on identifying patients whose risk justifies treatment.

What to Watch

Watch real-world risk stratification, duration of therapy and long-term progression outcomes.
