Outpatient Administration of Teclistamab for Multiple Myeloma

A Study of Outpatient Administration of Teclistamab, a BCMA-targeting Bispecific Antibody, in Multiple Myeloma Patients

This is a phase II study to evaluate the Outpatient Administration of Teclistamab in Multiple Myeloma Patients

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Multiple Myeloma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Teclistamab; Drug: Tocilizumab

Detailed Description

• This is a single-arm, non-randomized, multicenter, prospective study of Teclistamab (TECVAYLI™), in adult patients with RRMM, in the post-marketing setting. Teclistamab (TECVAYLI™), the humanized IgG-4 PAA bispecific antibody, targets the CD3 receptor complex on T cells and BCMA on B-lineage cells.
• This study will investigate the use of prophylactic tocilizumab to reduce the incidence and severity of CRS associated with teclistamab administration, to enable administration of the step-up dosing regimen of teclistamab in an outpatient setting.

• Study Type: Interventional
• Enrollment (Estimated): 50
