This is a video synopsis/summary of a Between The Lines series featuring Donna Catamero, ANP-BC, OCN, CCRC; Cesar Rodriguez, MD; and Saad Usmani, MD, MBA, FACP.
In conclusion, talquetamab induces deep, durable responses in heavily pretreated myeloma but has unique, mostly manageable toxicities requiring mitigation to sustain therapy. Up-front patient education on expected adverse effects and self-care, close monitoring and early intervention, and prompt dose modifications when needed facilitate tolerance. Skin changes typically resolve with symptomatic relief from barrier creams. Future studies should examine talquetamab in earlier lines to widen accessibility. As experience accrues, best practices for balancing efficacy and quality of life will evolve through ongoing clinician collaboration.
