Inflammatory immune cells predict survival, relapse in MM, WashU-led study finds

The combination of Tecvayli (teclistamab-cqyv), a bispecific T-cell engager antibody therapy, and Darzalex Faspro (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj), a subcutaneous CD38-directed antibody, met the primary endpoint of progression-free survival and the results were statistically significant and superior to standard of care in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who received one to three prior lines of therapy, according to data from the phase III MajesTEC-3 study. This was compared to the investigator’s choice of Darzalex Faspro, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone or Darzalex Faspro, bortezomib, and dexamethasone. 

An investigational immune-based induction regimen with Tecvayli (teclistamab-cqyv) and Darzalex Faspro (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) demonstrated meaningful clinical efficacy in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
