Talquetamab, sold under the brand name Talvey, is a humanized monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of multiple myeloma.[1][4] It is a bispecific GPRC5D-directed CD3 T-cell engager.[1] Talquetamab is a bispecific antibody against two targets: human CD3, a T-cell surface antigen, and human G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D), a tumor-associated antigen with potential antineoplastic activity.[5] Talquetamab binds both targets, drawing the T cells close to the tumor cells, causing a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response.[5] It is being developed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals.[6]
The most common adverse reactions include cytokine release syndrome, dysgeusia, nail disorder, musculoskeletal pain, skin disorder, rash, fatigue, decreased weight, dry mouth, pyrexia, xerosis, dysphagia, upper respiratory tract infection, and diarrhea.[7]
Talquetamab was approved for medical use in both the United States[1][7][8] and the European Union[3] in August 2023. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[9]
