June 3, 2024. Sanofi issued a press release stating that its CD38 monoclonal antibody Sarclisa has been approved in the United States as the first anti-CD38 therapy.

Sarclisa is the first anti-CD38 drug to significantly improve progression-free survival in combination with VRd for the treatment of newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma.

Approval based on positive results from the IMROZ phase 3 study demonstrating Sarclisa in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), compared to standard-of-care in newly diagnosed adult patients not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Third indication for Sarclisa, evaluated under FDA Priority Review, underscores Sanofi’s commitment to helping close a critical care gap in multiple myeloma (MM).

From Deals to Discovery Engines: How Big Pharma Is Redefining Early Drug Development
Pharmaceutical R&D is being reshaped by a wave of ecosystem-style partnerships and platform-driven collaborations across the biopharma industry, signaling a clear shift toward earlier, more integrated discovery strategies. At the same time, early functional validation is becoming a critical gatekeeper in preclinical decision-making, especially as new modalities increase the complexity of mechanism-of-action confirmation.

Behind these shifts is a broader redefinition of how confidence is built in drug candidates at the very beginning of development—where speed, biological relevance, and reproducibility increasingly determine downstream success.
