About DARZALEX, Darzalex IV and its cost

What is this medication? DARZALEX, which contains the active ingredient daratumumab, is a prescription medication used to treat adults with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells. It is classified as a monoclonal antibody that targets a specific protein called CD38 found on the surface of myeloma cells. By binding to these cells, the medication helps the immune system recognize and kill the cancer cells, while also directly inducing cell death and inhibiting the growth of the tumor.

This medication is administered by a healthcare professional as an intravenous infusion in a clinical setting. It can be used alone for patients who have already received several other treatments, or it may be used in combination with other chemotherapy or immunotherapy drugs for both newly diagnosed patients and those who have experienced a relapse. The dosage schedule usually involves frequent infusions at the beginning of treatment, which gradually become less frequent over several months.

DARZALEX, Darzalex IV is made by Janssen. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford DARZALEX, Darzalex IV?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for DARZALEX, Darzalex IV?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Janssen has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover DARZALEX, Darzalex IV?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Multiple Myeloma?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
