Teclistamab: First Approval

Open access
Kang, Connie·2022·Drugs

Abstract

Teclistamab (TECVAYLI®), a bispecific antibody that targets CD3 and B cell maturation antigen (BCMA), is being developed by Janssen Research and Development for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Teclistamab was recently granted conditional approval in the EU for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received three or more prior therapies (including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor and an anti-CD38 antibody) and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy. Teclistamab was subsequently approved in the US for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy (including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor and an anti-CD38 antibody). This article summarizes the milestones in the development of teclistamab leading to this first approval for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

  • Teclistamab has received approval from the EMA and FDA for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients who have received at least three prior lines of therapy.

    “Teclistamab, a BCMA/CD3-targeted bsAb, has received approval from both the EMA and FDA for the treatment of patients with RRMM who have received at least three prior lines of therapy in 2022 [203].”

    From Multiple myeloma: signaling pathways and targeted therapy (2024) · cites this paper as [203]

    The Introduction reports EU approval in August 2022 after three or more prior therapies and US approval in October 2022 after at least four prior lines of therapy. The claim correctly identifies approvals in both jurisdictions in 2022, but incorrectly applies the three-prior-line threshold to the US approval. (LLM, conf=0.92)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
