Don’t let the high cost of brand specialty myeloma therapy stand between you and the treatment you need. We help eligible patients access Empliciti (elotuzumab) for as little as $69.95 per month through the manufacturer’s Patient Assistance Program.
The Empliciti Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Empliciti infusions at little or no medication cost to qualifying patients based on income and insurance status. The program is designed for myeloma patients who are uninsured or underinsured, as well as Medicare Part D beneficiaries who cannot afford specialty oncology infusion therapy.
Navigating the program on your own means dealing with eligibility verification, oncology-team coordination, prior-authorization documentation, infusion scheduling alongside oral myeloma medicines, and renewal deadlines — all while managing relapsed or refractory myeloma.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your enrollment, from initial application through infusion-schedule coordination and annual re-certification — so you focus on your treatment, not paperwork.

Our $69.95/month service covers full advocacy: applications, doctor coordination, infusion scheduling, documentation, and annual re-enrollment — so you focus on your treatment, not paperwork.

Eligibility is generally determined by annual household income and insurance status. Most programs follow guidelines that include limits of up to $40,000 for individuals, $60,000 for couples, and $100,000 for larger families. Because requirements vary by program and household, we encourage you to contact AffordMyPrescriptions directly so we can review your specific situation and determine if you qualify for Empliciti assistance.
Empliciti (elotuzumab) is an intravenous (IV) immunotherapy medicine used to treat adults with multiple myeloma. It is given by infusion in combination with other myeloma therapies on a defined schedule set by the oncology team. The two FDA-approved combinations are Empliciti with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (after one to three prior therapies) and Empliciti with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (after at least two prior therapies including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor).
How It Works:
Empliciti is a monoclonal antibody that targets SLAMF7, a marker found on both myeloma cells and natural killer (NK) cells. It functions through a dual mechanism: it directly activates NK cells to better recognize cancer and simultaneously “flags” myeloma cells for destruction by the immune system. This process triggers immune-mediated killing, specifically through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and phagocytosis.
Form and Use:
Administered via IV infusion in a clinical setting, Empliciti dosing is weight-based at 10 mg/kg. The schedule typically involves weekly infusions for the first two cycles, followed by bi-weekly doses, always in combination with other medications like dexamethasone and lenalidomide. To minimize the risk of infusion reactions, patients receive specific premedication before each treatment session.
Generic Availability:
As of 2026, there are no FDA-approved generic or biosimilar versions of Empliciti available in the United States. Since it is a biologic medicine, any future competition would come in the form of a biosimilar rather than a traditional small-molecule generic. While other therapies targeting different antigens exist, such as anti-CD38 antibodies, the choice of treatment remains a specialized decision for an oncology team.
Warnings:
The primary warnings associated with Empliciti include infusion reactions, which affect about 10 percent of patients, and an increased risk of infections. Other concerns involve liver toxicity, the potential for secondary cancers, and interference with lab tests used to monitor myeloma progress. Due to these risks, healthcare teams require premedication and will monitor patients closely to adjust or pause therapy if necessary.
The list price for a 300 mg Empliciti vial is approximately $2,275, and for a 400 mg vial approximately $3,031. Because dosing is weight-based at 10 mg/kg, the number of vials used per infusion varies, and per-infusion totals commonly run into the four to five figures. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Empliciti infusions at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers full advocacy and program management.
Premedication is given before each Empliciti infusion to lower the risk of infusion reactions, which occurred in approximately 10 percent of patients in clinical trials and were most common with the first dose. Symptoms can include fever, chills, or shortness of breath, and the infusion team is trained to manage them. Plan for a longer first infusion than later ones.
Yes. Multiple myeloma treatment includes monoclonal antibodies (Empliciti targets SLAMF7; other antibodies target CD38), immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors, and BCMA-directed therapies, used in many different combinations. Whether any of these is a better clinical fit than Empliciti for your specific situation is a decision for your oncology team.
Yes. Medicare beneficiaries can typically qualify for Empliciti Patient Assistance, especially if you face significant out-of-pocket costs under medical or pharmacy benefits. The manufacturer’s commercial copay assistance program ($0 per infusion, up to ~$25,000/year) is reserved for commercially insured patients only — but the underlying PAP supports Medicare patients who meet income criteria.
If your initial application is denied, we explore alternative savings paths on your behalf — including independent oncology- and myeloma-focused foundations such as the PAN Foundation, HealthWell Foundation, International Myeloma Foundation, Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, or Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the manufacturer’s copay assistance program if you have commercial insurance, or asking your oncology team whether a different myeloma combination on a more accessible cost path would be appropriate. If we cannot find a path to medication access, you will not be charged our service fee.
Most enrolled patients see their first covered Empliciti infusion within two to four weeks of completing the documentation. Timing depends on how quickly your oncology team returns the required forms and the program processes your application.
If you are struggling with the high cost of Empliciti, our team may be able to help you access assistance programs designed to make brand specialty myeloma therapy affordable. Check your eligibility today and take the first step toward predictable, sustainable treatment.
