Published:31st Dec 2021
The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson announced the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA seeking approval of JNJ 64007957 (teclistamab) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma.

Teclistamab is an investigational, off-the-shelf, T-cell redirecting, bispecific antibody targeting both B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and CD3.

The BLA submission for teclistamab is supported by data from MajesTEC-1 (NCT04557098, NCT03145181), an open-label, multicenter clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of teclistamab in adults with R/R multiple myeloma. In the study, investigators assessed efficacy outcomes, including overall response rate, very good partial response and complete response using International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria, as well as the safety profile of teclistamab. Updated MajesTEC-1 data were recently presented at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting.

Condition: Multiple Myeloma
Type: drug
