the anti-CD38 SIFbody demonstrates up to 10-fold increase in efficacy and ≥16-fold increase in potency compared to daratumumab and the surrogate therapeutic anti-CD38 mAb (TAK-079). In isolated whole human blood incubated with tumor cells, the anti-CD38 SIFbody demonstrated 40-100 fold increase in potency and 2-3 fold increase in efficacy. In bone marrow cells isolated from MM patients with >80% plasma cells anti-CD38 SIFbody showed better potency and a 3-5 fold increased efficacy (with 100% plasma cell elimination) than daratumumab, suggesting the SIFbody may be more suitable molecule for achieving greater MRD-negativity rates in MM patients.
