Arms & Interventions

Part 3: Cohort C (Talquetamab)

Experimental

Cohort C will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received >= 3 prior lines of therapy and have not been exposed to T cell redirection therapies. Participants will receive talquetamab SC biweekly at a RP2D selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. 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 3: Cohort D (Talquetamab)

Experimental

Cohort D will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received >= 3 prior lines of therapy. Participants will receive talquetamab SC biweekly at a RP2D selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. Participants in this cohort will receive tocilizumab prophylaxis for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) including all outpatient dosing. Participants will transition to OLE upon communication by the sponsor. 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 3: Cohort E (Talquetamab)

Experimental

Cohort E will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received at least 1 proteasome inhibitor (PI), 1 immunomodulatory imide drug (IMiD), and 1 anti-cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) monoclonal antibody.

Participants will receive talquetamab SC biweekly at a RP2D selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. Participants will receive tocilizumab prophylaxis for CRS with consolidated priming dose schedules as well as possible transition to outpatient priming dosing transition to OLE upon communication by the sponsor. 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 3: Cohort A (Talquetamab)

Experimental

Cohort A will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received greater than or equal to (>=) 3 prior lines of therapy and have not been exposed to T cell redirection therapies. Participants will receive talquetamab subcutaneously (SC) at a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. 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 3: Cohort B (Talquetamab)

Experimental

Cohort B will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received >= 3 prior lines of therapy and have been exposed to T cell redirection therapies. Participants will receive talquetamab subcutaneously (SC) at a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. 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)

Talquetamab Shows Promise in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma, Including Post-BCMA Failure- Talquetamab demonstrates high overall response rates in multiple myeloma patients, even after prior BCMA-targeted T-cell redirection therapy. - The bispecific antibody's unique toxicities, like dysgeusia, require careful management through dose modifications and supportive care. - Biomarkers are needed to guide treatment selection and predict response to T-cell redirecting therapies in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. - Early data suggests that adverse events with talquetamab may correlate with treatment response, particularly complete remission.last yearTalquetamab 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 year
