Elranatamab is a humanized B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-CD3 bispecific antibody. In the ongoing phase 2 MagnetisMM-3 trial, patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma received subcutaneous elranatamab once weekly after two step-up priming doses. After six cycles, persistent responders switched to biweekly dosing. Results from cohort A, which enrolled without prior BCMA-directed therapy (n = 123) are reported. The primary endpoint of confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review was met an ORR 61.0% (75/123); 35.0% ≥complete response. Fifty dosing, and 40 (80.0%) improved maintained their for ≥6 months. With median follow-up 14.7 months, duration response, progression-free survival overall (secondary endpoints) have not been reached. Fifteen-month rates were 71.5%, 50.9% 56.7%, respectively. Common adverse events (any grade; grade 3-4) included infections (69.9%, 39.8%), cytokine release syndrome (57.7%, 0%), anemia (48.8%, 37.4%), neutropenia 48.8%). 3-4 decreased 58.6% 46.6%. induced deep durable responses manageable safety profile. Switching dosing may improve long-term compromising efficacy. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04649359 .

Teclistamab and other B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeting bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have substantial activity in patients with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma (MM) but are associated a high rate of infections. BCMA is also expressed on normal plasma cells mature B cells, which essential for the generation humoral immune response. The aim this study was to improve understanding impact BCMA-targeting BsAbs immunity. teclistamab polyclonal immunoglobulins cell counts evaluated MM who received once-weekly 1.5 mg/kg subcutaneously. Vaccination responses were assessed subset patients. Teclistamabinduced rapid depletion peripheral blood eliminated ex vivo assays. In addition, reduced levels (immunoglobulin G [IgG], IgA, IgE, IgM), without recovery over time while receiving therapy. Furthermore, response vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type B, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 severely impaired treated compared vaccination observed newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory MM. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) use significantly lower risk serious infections among (cumulative incidence at 6 months: 5.3% IVIG vs 54.8% observation only [P < .001]). conclusion, our data show defects immunity induced by teclistamab, can be mitigated supplementation.

Therefore, we analysed humoral cellular vaccine in MM patients stratified according disease stage/treatment into (1) monoclonal gammopathy undetermined significance, (2) after stem cell transplant (SCT) without immunotherapy (IT), (3) SCT IT, (4) progressed MM, healthy subjects (prospective cohort study).
