Empliciti – Elotuzumab uses, dose and side effects

Empliciti contains the active substance elotuzumab, which is a monoclonal antibody, a type of protein designed to recognize and attach to a specific target substance in the body. Elotuzumab attaches to a target protein called SLAMF7. SLAMF7 is found in large amounts on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and certain cells in the immune system (natural killer cells).
