Teclistamab, a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed bispecific antibody therapy, was investigated and granted accelerated approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) as a result of the pivotal MajesTEC-1 (NCT04557098) trial. Results from Cohort C of MajesTEC-1 trial on safety and efficacy of teclistamab in patients with prior exposure to anti-BCMA therapies were published in Blood by Touzeau, et al.1


Key learnings:

An overall response rate (ORR) of 52.5% was observed, with 47.5% of patients experiencing a very good partial response or better (≥VGPR) and 30% a complete response or better (≥CR).

  • Response rates were similar among patients treated with prior BCMA-targeted antibody–drug conjugates vs chimeric antigen receptor (ORR, 55.2% vs 53.3%; ≥VGPR, 48.3% vs 46.7%; ≥CR, 27.6% vs 26.7%, respectively).

The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 4.5 months and 15.5 months, respectively.

The most common any grade treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) included neutropenia, infections, and cytokine release syndrome. 

  • Cytopenias and infections were the most frequent severe (Grade ≥3) TEAEs. 
  • 32.5% of patients experienced Grade 3–4 infections, while 10% experienced Grade 5 infections.

The safety profile of teclistamab was largely comparable in patients with and without prior exposure to anti-BCMA therapy.

The findings from the study demonstrate the clinical benefit of teclistamab as a therapeutic option for patients with RRMM previously treated with BCMA-targeted therapies.
