Article Synopsis
  • Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody approved for treating patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have previously undergone multiple treatments, including BCMA-targeted therapies.
  • In a clinical study (MajesTEC-1), patients with a median of six prior treatments received weekly doses of teclistamab, resulting in a 52.5% overall response rate with some achieving complete remission.
  • The treatment had manageable side effects, with common adverse events including neutropenia and infections, while showing a median overall survival of 15.5 months in heavily pretreated patients.

Teclistamab, an off-the-shelf B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) × CD3 bispecific antibody that mediates T-cell activation and subsequent lysis of BCMA-expressing myeloma cells, is approved for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/RMM). As a T-cell redirection therapy, clinical outcomes with teclistamab may be influenced by patient immune fitness and tumor antigen expression. We correlated tumor characteristics and baseline immune profiles with clinical response and disease burden in patients with R/RMM from the pivotal phase 1/2 MajesTEC-1 study, focusing on patients treated with 1.

Introduction: Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) report significantly lower HRQoL compared with patients with newly diagnosed MM and experience further deterioration in HRQoL with each relapse and subsequent treatment. Therefore, consideration of the impact of treatment on HRQoL in addition to clinical outcomes is vital.

Patients And Methods: In the phase I/II MajesTEC-1 (NCT03145181, NCT04557098) study, patients with RRMM who received teclistamab, an off-the-shelf, T-cell redirecting BCMA × CD3 bispecific antibody, had deep and durable responses with manageable safety.

Article Synopsis
  • Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody approved for treating patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have already undergone specific treatments, including an immunomodulatory agent and a proteasome inhibitor.
  • The MajesTEC-1 study examined the pharmacokinetics of teclistamab given both intravenously and subcutaneously, analyzing how different dosages and delivery methods affect patient outcomes such as response rate and survival.
  • Results from analyzing over 4,800 serum samples revealed that teclistamab’s elimination from the body decreases significantly over time, with indications that stopping treatment leads to a rapid drop in drug concentration within weeks.

What Is This Summary About?: This is a summary of a phase 1-2 clinical trial called MajesTEC-1. This trial tested the cancer drug teclistamab in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, a cancer that forms in a certain type of white blood cells known as plasma cells. Most participants who took part in the study had at least 3 prior treatments for multiple myeloma before their cancer came back.

Background: Teclistamab, a B-cell maturation antigen × CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated an overall response rate of 63.0% in 165 heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in the phase 1/2 MajesTEC-1 study. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a known manifestation of T-cell redirection, was observed in 119 of 165 patients (72.

Background: Teclistamab is a T-cell-redirecting bispecific antibody that targets both CD3 expressed on the surface of T cells and B-cell maturation antigen expressed on the surface of myeloma cells. In the phase 1 dose-defining portion of the study, teclistamab showed promising efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Methods: In this phase 1-2 study, we enrolled patients who had relapsed or refractory myeloma after at least three therapy lines, including triple-class exposure to an immunomodulatory drug, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 antibody.
