The anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody Daratumumab is approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma but efficiency is curtailed by secondary resistance. Here authors show that the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, which is the main mechanism of action for Daratumumab, is regulated by KDM6A via Histone H3 K27 methylation of CD38 and CD48, downregulation of which leads to drug resistance.
