Daratumumab for pure red cell aplasia post ABO incompatible allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for aplastic anemia.

ABSTRACT

Pure red cell aplasia is a known complication after ABO incompatible stem cell transplant. Due to rarity of disease, no established treatment guidelines are available for PRCA. Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody against CD38 expressed by plasma cells. In this report we present our experience of successfully managing a patient of post-transplant PRCA with daratumumab. Our patient had failed multiple lines of therapy prior to receiving daratumumab. Response was seen after the 3rd weekly dose of daratumumab.
