The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the EMA recommended conditional marketing authorization for talquetamab for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma on July 21, 2023.[L47775] Talquetamab was fully approved by the EMA on August 22, 2023.[L48822] On August 9, 2023, talquetamab was granted FDA accelerated approval.[L47770]
[L47765]
This is an accelerated approval indication. Continued approval for these indications may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).
In Europe, talquetamab is indicated in patients who received at least three prior therapies and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.

Showing 38 of 38 interactions
Talquetamab is a bispecific T-cell-engaging antibody that binds to the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and GPRC5D expressed on the surface of MM cells. It works to recruit CD3-expressing T cells to GPRC5D-expressing MM cells to induce T-cell–mediated cytotoxicity, prevent tumour growth, and promote tumour regression.[A260890] When activated, T cells cause the release of proinflammatory cytokines, promoting the lysis of MM cells.[L47765]
How the body processes this drug — absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination
Following the biweekly administration of 0.8 mg/kg, the Cmax (CV%) was 3410 ng/mL (63%), respectively.
[L47765]
The geometric mean (coefficient of variation CV %) bioavailability of talquetamab was 59% (22%) when administered subcutaneously. The median (range) Tmax of talquetamab after the first and 17th treatment dose of 0.4 mg/kg weekly were 3.7 (0.9 to 7) days and 2.5 (0.9 to 5.9) days, respectively. The median (range) Tmax of talquetamab after the first and 9th treatment dose of 0.8 mg/kg every two weeks were 3.4 (0.8 to 14) days and 3.6 (1 to 7.7) days, respectively.
