Last updated: February 24, 2026

What Is NDC 10542-0010?

NDC 10542-0010 corresponds to Darzalex (daratumumab), a monoclonal antibody used to treat multiple myeloma. It was approved by the FDA in November 2015. The drug is marketed by Janssen Biotech.

Market Overview

Sales Performance and Revenue

  • Global sales in 2022: Approximately $2.8 billion (EvaluatePharma, 2022).
  • U.S. sales in 2022: $2 billion, representing approximately 71% of total sales, driven by heavy penetration in multiple myeloma treatments.
  • Market share (2022): Darzalex holds an estimated 45% share in the multiple myeloma drugs market.

Competitive Landscape

Major competitors include:

  • Immunomodulators: Revlimid (lenalidomide), Pomalyst (pomalidomide)
  • Proteasome inhibitors: Velcade (bortezomib), Kyprolis (carfilzomib)
  • Other monoclonal antibodies: Empliciti (elotuzumab), which has a smaller market share

Treatment Paradigm

The drug is used in:

  • Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) with differing regimens
  • Relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM)

The approval of subcutaneous formulations since 2019 increased administration convenience, aiding market retention.

Price Analysis

Current Pricing

  • List price (2023): Approximately $6,900 per 1,000 mg vial (Janssen, 2023).
  • Average dose: 16 mg/kg, typically 1,200 mg per dose for a 75 kg patient.
  • Per-treatment cost: Around $82,000, considering multiple infusion cycles.

Cost Factors

  • Administration: Intravenous infusion costs vary by healthcare setting; subcutaneous formulations reduce administration costs.
  • Reimbursement: Typically covered by commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, often with negotiated discounts.

Price Trends (Next 5 Years)

Projection indicates minimal price erosion:

  • Estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR): 2-3%, driven by increasing demand and expanding indications.
  • Reimbursement policies: Shifts toward value-based contracts could influence net prices.
  • Manufacturing costs: Slight decrease expected with process optimizations.

Market Dynamics Impacting Price and Availability

  • New indications: Approved for multiple other blood cancers, expanding the target population.
  • Biologic manufacturing: As a complex biologic, manufacturing costs remain high, limiting significant price reductions.
  • Biosimilar Entry: No biosimilars approved as of 2023, maintaining pricing power.
  • Patent status: Patent expiry expected around 2029, potentially leading to price reductions from biosimilars thereafter.

Regulatory and Policy Factors

  • Pricing pressure: Policy initiatives targeting drug pricing, especially in the U.S., could influence future prices.
  • Reimbursement reforms: Emphasis on outcome-based payments may impact net revenue.
