Empliciti (elotuzumab) is a monoclonal antibody that blocks a certain protein in the body that can affect tumor cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies are made to target and destroy only certain cells in the body. This may help to protect healthy cells from damage.

Empliciti is given together with either lenalidomide or pomalidomide, and a steroid medicine called dexamethasone.
