Abstract
Teclistamab is a BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody, the first approved for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Given its impressive efficacy in heavily pretreated patients and better accessibility compared to BCMA-directed CAR T cells, teclistamab is sure to become a staple of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma therapy. Teclistamab carries a set of notable adverse effects including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), infections, and neurotoxicity for which providers must take unique precautions and prophylactic measures. Here, we review the preclinical and clinical data, which led to teclistamab's approval, important patient selection considerations, strategies for managing CRS and other side effects, and finally the future of bispecific antibody therapy in multiple myeloma.
