Investigating higher teclistamab step-up dosing in R/R myeloma: results from MajesTEC-1
Jeffrey Matous, MD, Colorado Blood Cancer Institute, Denver, CO, comments on the potential benefits of using alternative teclistamab step-up dosing strategies in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM). Data from two cohorts of the MajesTEC-1 trial (NCT04557098) suggest that administering higher doses of teclistamab during the step-up dosing period may confine cases of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) to the step-up dosing period only, making physicians more comfortable with administering the agent. This could lead to increased adoption of teclistamab in clinical practice, but further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
