* Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP): negative urine or serum pregnancy test

  * If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required (within 14 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy)
* Woman of childbearing potential must be practicing a highly effective method of birth control consistent with local regulations regarding the use of birth control methods for subjects participating in clinical studies: e.g., established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception; placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system; barrier methods; condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository; male partner sterilization; true abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject) during and after the study (6 months after the last dose of 225Ac-DOTA-Daratumumab for women).

A man who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential and has not had a vasectomy must agree to use a barrier method of birth control, e.g., either condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository or partner with occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository, and all men must also not donate sperm during the study and for 6 months after receiving the last dose of study drug

* Childbearing potential defined as not being surgically sterilized (men and women) or have not been free from menses for \> 1 year (women only)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Daratumumab or other anti CD38 antibody treatment \< 3 months prior to study enrollment
* Prior radiopharmaceutical therapy
* Detectable antibodies directed against daratumumab
* Subject has received previous radiation to \> 25% of their bone marrow
* Female patients who are lactating or have a positive pregnancy test during the screening period
* Major surgery within 14 days prior to start of study treatment
* Subject is receiving concurrent chemotherapy, radiation, or biologic for cancer treatment. Subject is receiving bone marrow stimulatory factors (e.g., granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor \[GM-CSF\]). Note: Hormonal therapy for someone with a history of cancer treated with curative intent is permitted if subject has been on hormonal therapy \> 1 year
* Vaccination with live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks of study agent administration
* A diagnosis of primary amyloidosis, plasma cell leukemia, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, or POEMS
* Severe persistent asthma (forced expiratory volume in 1 second \[FEV1\] \< 60% and/or daily symptoms) or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) defined clinically or by historical pulmonary function tests with an FEV1 \< 50% predicted
* Subject has known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to monoclonal antibodies or human proteins, or their excipients (refer to respective package inserts or investigator's brochure). Patients with a history of infusion reactions to daratumumab with prior treatment that resolved with supportive measures and in whom daratumumab therapy was not previously discontinued because of infusion reactions are permitted
* Subject has uncontrolled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), chronic or active hepatitis B, or active hepatitis A or C

  * Patients with HIV are eligible unless their CD4+ T-cell counts are \< 350 cells/mcL or they have a history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining opportunistic infection within the 12 months prior to registration. Concurrent treatment with effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) according to Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) treatment guidelines is recommended

  * Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
  * Carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  * Carcinoma in situ of the breast
  * Incidental histologic finding of prostate cancer (T1a or T1b using the TNM clinical staging system) or prostate cancer that is curative
* Any other condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures
* Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics)
