The safety profile of talquetamab continued to show a lower high-grade infection risk relative to other approved anti-BCMA bispecific antibodies.

At a median time to response of 1 month, isatuximab elicited a median duration of response of 10.3 months in patients with multiple myeloma.

Combination therapies with teclistamab exhibited a superior overall response rate vs teclistamab monotherapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
