Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety of Talquetamab and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) and dosing schedule assessed to be safe for Talquetamab (Part 1 [Dose Escalation]) and to further characterize the safety of Talquetamab at the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) (Part 2 [Dose Expansion]).

  • Sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study, and is willing to and able participate in the study. Consent is to be obtained prior to the initiation of any study-related tests or procedures that are not part of standard-of-care for the participant's disease

Exclusion Criteria

  • Participants who received or plan to receive any live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, during treatment, or within 4 weeks of the last dose of Talquetamab. Non-live or non-replicating vaccines approved or authorized for emergency use (example, coronavirus disease [COVID]-19) by local health authorities are allowed
  • Toxicities from previous anticancer therapies should have resolved to baseline levels or to Grade 1 or less except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy
  • Received a cumulative dose of corticosteroids equivalent to greater than or equal to ( >=) 140 milligram (mg) of prednisone within the 14-day period before the first dose of study drug (does not include pretreatment medication)
  • An allogenic stem cell transplant within 6 months before first dose of study drug. Participants who received an allogeneic transplant must be off all immunosuppressive medications for 6 weeks without signs of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); and/or an autologous stem cell transplant less than or equal to (<=) 12 weeks before first dose of study drug
  • Documented history of central nervous system (CNS) involvement or exhibits clinical signs of meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma. If either is suspected, whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar cytology are required

Arms & Interventions

Part 1: Dose Escalation (Talquetamab) - Intravenous (IV)

Experimental

Participants will receive IV infusion of Talquetamab at minimum anticipated biologic effect level (MABEL)-based starting dose until the completion of the end of treatment visit. Subsequent dose levels will be selected based on the review of all available data including, but not limited to, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety, and preliminary antitumor activity data. Participants receiving IV dosing can transition to SC dosing through-out the study upon sponsor consultation. All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to open-label extension (OLE) phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the long-term extension (LTE) and will continue to receive study treatment.

Intervention: Talquetamab (Drug)

Part 1: Dose Escalation (Talquetamab) - Subcutaneous (SC)

Experimental

Participants will receive Talquetamab SC. The dose levels will be selected to identify safe and tolerable putative RP2D(s). All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to OLE phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the LTE and will continue to receive study treatment.

Intervention: Talquetamab (Drug)

Part 2: Dose Expansion (Talquetamab)

Experimental

Participants will receive IV infusion or SC injection of Talquetamab at each putative recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D[s]) as determined in Part 1. Participants receiving IV dosing can transition to SC dosing through-out the study upon sponsor consultation. All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to OLE phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the LTE and will continue to receive study treatment.

Intervention: Talquetamab (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Part 1 and Part 2: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

Time Frame: From signing of Informed Consent Form (ICF) up to follow up (until 100 days after the last dose of study drug or until the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, if earlier [approximately 2.10 years])

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

Part 1: Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)

Time Frame: Up to Day 28

The Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are based on drug related adverse events and defined as any of the following events: hematological / non-hematological toxicity of Grade 3 or higher.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Part 1 and Part 2: Biomarker Assessment(Up to Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle of 21-days))
  • Part 1: Number of Participants with Talquetamab Antibodies(Up to 4 weeks)
  • Part 2: Time to Response (TTR)(From the date of first dose of study drug to the date of initial documentation of a response (approximately 2.10 years))
  • Part 1: Talquetamab Serum Concentrations(Up to 4 weeks)
  • Part 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)(Every 16 weeks until end of study, participant dies, withdrawn consent, or lost to follow up (up to 18 months))
  • Part 2: Overall Response Rate (ORR)(Approximately 2.10 years)
  • Part 2: Duration of Response (DOR)(From the date of initial documentation of a response to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (PD) (approximately 2.10 years))
  • Part 2: Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)(Approximately 2.10 years)

Talquetamab Treatment Shows Low Incidence of Neurological Adverse Events in Multiple Myeloma Patients- Talquetamab, a bispecific antibody, has shown potential neurological effects, but instances are infrequent, according to a nurse practitioner at UCSF. - The MonumenTAL-1 study reported neurotoxicity in 10% and 5% of patients receiving 405 mcg and 800 mcg doses of talquetamab, respectively, with most cases being low grade and resolving. - Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome occurred in 10.7% and 11% of patients receiving talquetamab at 0.4 mg/kg and 0.8 mg/kg, respectively, in the phase 2 portion of the trial. - Standard monitoring, including Immune Effector Cell Encephalopathy (ICE) scores every 12 hours, helps in closely observing and managing potential neurological effects in patients.last yearGPRC5D-Targeted Therapy Shows Promise in Multiple Myeloma Treatment- GPRC5D has emerged as a crucial target in multiple myeloma, offering new therapeutic avenues, especially before or as a bridge to BCMA-targeted therapies. - Talquetamab, a GPRC5D-directed therapy, has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials like MonumenTAL-1 and MonumenTAL-3, showing potential in combination therapies. - Common toxicities associated with talquetamab, such as oral and skin-related issues, are generally manageable through dose adjustments and are less severe than those of bispecific antibodies. - GPRC5D-targeted treatments exhibit a reduced risk of infectious toxicity and have not been linked to significant cardiac, pulmonary, renal, or neuropathy-related adverse effects.last yearBispecific Antibodies Teclistamab and Talquetamab Show Promise in Multiple Myeloma Treatment- Teclistamab and talquetamab, bispecific antibodies, demonstrate efficacy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma by reducing soluble BCMA levels in responding patients. - A reduction in sBCMA levels correlates with the depth of treatment response, with complete or stringent complete responses showing nearly 100% sBCMA reduction. - Baseline sBCMA levels correlate with tumor burden, suggesting sBCMA as a potential marker, and do not significantly affect teclistamab exposure, indicating maintained clinical activity. - Clinical trials are underway to evaluate bispecific antibodies in earlier lines of therapy and maintenance settings, potentially transforming myeloma treatment.4 years ago
