Program Overview
The study focuses on elderly patients with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, who have experienced an early relapse after initial treatments. Talquetamab is a new type of treatment that helps the body's immune cells target and attack myeloma cells. In earlier studies, talquetamab showed promising results in patients who had already tried many other treatments. This study will evaluate how well talquetamab works and how safe it is for elderly patients. If the cancer continues to progress or does not respond after three cycles of talquetamab, another drug called daratumumab may be added to the treatment plan.
