12.1 Mechanism of Action Talquetamab-tgvs is a bispecific T-cell engaging antibody that binds to the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and non-malignant plasma cells, as well as healthy tissues such as epithelial cells in keratinized tissues of the skin and tongue. In vitro, talquetamab-tgvs activated T-cells caused the release of proinflammatory cytokines and resulted in the lysis of multiple myeloma cells. Talquetamab-tgvs had anti-tumor activity in mouse models of multiple myeloma.

Check that the TALVEY solution for injection is colorless to light yellow. Do not use if the solution is discolored, cloudy, or if foreign particles are present. Remove the appropriate strength TALVEY vial(s) from refrigerated storage [2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F)] and equilibrate to ambient temperature [15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F)] for at least 15 minutes. Do not warm TALVEY in any other way. Once equilibrated, gently swirl the vial for approximately 10 seconds to mix. Do not shake. Withdraw the required injection volume of TALVEY from the vial(s) into an appropriately sized syringe using a transfer needle. Each injection volume should not exceed 2 mL. Divide doses requiring greater than 2 mL equally into multiple syringes. TALVEY is compatible with stainless steel injection needles and polypropylene or polycarbonate syringe material. Replace the transfer needle with an appropriately sized needle for injection. Administration Inject the required volume of TALVEY into the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen (preferred injection site). Alternatively, TALVEY may be injected into the subcutaneous tissue at other sites (e.g., thigh). If multiple injections are required, TALVEY injections should be at least 2 cm apart. Do not inject into tattoos or scars or areas where the skin is red, bruised, tender, hard or not intact. Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed in accordance with local requirements. Storage The prepared syringes should be administered immediately. If immediate administration is not possible, store the TALVEY solution refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 24 hours followed by at room temperature of 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F) for up to 24 hours. Discard if stored for more than 24 hours refrigerated or more than 24 hours at room temperature. If stored in the refrigerator, allow the solution to come to room temperature before administration.

Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma MonumenTAL-1 The safety of TALVEY was evaluated in 339 adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Patients treated with the weekly dosing schedule received step-up doses of 0.01 mg/kg and 0.06 mg/kg of TALVEY followed by TALVEY 0.4 mg/kg subcutaneously weekly thereafter. Patients treated with the biweekly (every 2 weeks) dosing schedule received step-up doses of 0.01 mg/kg, 0.06 mg/kg, and 0.3 mg/kg (0.75 times the recommended step-up dose 3) followed by TALVEY 0.8 mg/kg subcutaneously every 2 weeks thereafter. The duration of exposure for the 0.4 mg/kg weekly regimen was 5.9 (range: 0.0 to 25.3) months (N=186) and for the 0.8 mg/kg biweekly (every 2 weeks) regimen, it was 3.7 (range: 0.0 to 17.9) months (N=153). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 47% of patients who received TALVEY. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients included CRS (13%), bacterial infection (8%) including sepsis, pyrexia (4.7%), ICANS (3.8%), COVID-19 (2.7%), neutropenia (2.1%), and upper respiratory tract infection (2.1%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.2% of patients who received TALVEY, including COVID - 19 (0.6%), dyspnea (0.6%), general physical health deterioration (0.6%), bacterial infection (0.3%) including sepsis, basilar artery occlusion (0.3%), fungal infection (0.3%), infection (0.3%), and pulmonary embolism (0.3%). Permanent discontinuation of TALVEY due to an adverse reaction occurred in 9% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of TALVEY in > 1% of patients included ICANS. Dosage interruptions of TALVEY due to an adverse reaction occurred in 56% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in > 5% of patients included pyrexia (15%), CRS (12%), upper respiratory tract infection (9%), COVID-19 (9%), bacterial infection (7%) including sepsis, neutropenia (6%), and rash (6%). The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were pyrexia, CRS, dysgeusia, nail disorder, musculoskeletal pain, skin disorder, rash, fatigue, weight decreased, dry mouth, xerosis, dysphagia, upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, hypotension, and headache. The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 30%) were lymphocyte count decreased, neutrophil count decreased, white blood cell decreased, and hemoglobin decreased.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics The C max and AUC tau of talquetamab-tgvs after subcutaneous administration increased proportionally over a dose range of 0.005 to 0.8 mg/kg weekly (0.01 to 2 times the recommended 0.4 mg/kg weekly treatment dose) and 0.8 to 1.2 mg/kg every two weeks (1 to 1.5 times the recommended 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks treatment dose). Ninety percent of steady state exposure was achieved 16 weeks after the first treatment dose for both regimens. The C max , C trough , C avg , and accumulation ratios of talquetamab-tgvs are presented in Table 15. Table 15: Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Talquetamab-tgvs Following the Dose at 16 Weeks After the First Treatment Dose for the Approved Recommended Subcutaneous Dosages in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma Talquetamab-tgvs Dosage Parameter 0.4 mg/kg every week 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks C avg = Average concentration over the dosing interval; : C max = Maximum serum talquetamab-tgvs concentration; C trough = Serum talquetamab-tgvs concentration prior to next dose Exposure Data are presented as geometric mean (coefficient of variation %). C max (ng/mL) 2,940 (67%) 3,410 (63%) C trough (ng/mL) 2,410 (83%) 1,930 (103%) C avg (ng/mL) 2,730 (71%) 2,770 (72%) Accumulation Ratio For the 0.4 mg/kg every week regimen, accumulation ratios are presented as the arithmetic mean of the 17 th treatment dose / the first treatment dose. For the 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks regimen, accumulation ratios are presented as the arithmetic mean of the 9 th treatment dose / the first treatment dose. C max 4.4 1.8 C trough 4.6 2.3 C avg 5.1 2.0 Absorption The geometric mean (coefficient of variation [CV] %) bioavailability of talquetamab-tgvs was 59% (22%) when administered subcutaneously. The median (range) T max of talquetamab-tgvs after the first and 17 th treatment dose of 0.4 mg/kg weekly were 3.7 (0.9 to 7) days and 2.5 (0.9 to 5.9) days, respectively. The median (range) T max of talquetamab-tgvs after the first and 9 th treatment dose of 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks were 3.4 (0.8 to 14) days and 3.6 (1 to 7.7) days, respectively. Distribution The geometric mean (CV%) volume of distribution of talquetamab-tgvs was 10.1 L (25%). Elimination Talquetamab-tgvs clearance decreases over time, with a mean (CV%) maximal reduction from the first treatment dose to 16 weeks after the first treatment dose of 40% (56%). The geometric mean (CV%) clearance is 0.90 L/day (63%) at 16 weeks after the first treatment dose. The mean (CV%) terminal half-life was 8.4 (41%) days after the first treatment dose and 12.2 (49%) days at 16 weeks after the first treatment dose. Metabolism Talquetamab-tgvs is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways. Specific Populations The volume of distribution and clearance of talquetamab-tgvs increased with increasing bodyweight (40 kg to 143 kg). There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of talquetamab-tgvs based on age (33 to 86 years), sex, race (White, Black or African American), ethnicity (Not Hispanic/Latino, Hispanic/Latino), mild or moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] by Cockcroft-Gault equation: 30 to 89 mL/min) or mild (total bilirubin less than or equal to upper limit of normal [ULN] with AST greater than ULN or total bilirubin greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to less than 3 times ULN with any AST) hepatic impairment. The effects of severe renal impairment (CLcr less than 30 mL/min) or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin greater than 3 times ULN with any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of talquetamab-tgvs are unknown.
