Product Introduction

Tecvayli 30mg Injection contains teclistamab, an anticancer medication classified as a bispecific monoclonal antibody. It is used to treat adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, a type of cancer affecting plasma cells in the bone marrow, who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 antibody. Tecvayli works by targeting and binding to both B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) on myeloma cells and CD3 on T cells. This dual binding activates T cells to recognise and destroy BCMA-expressing myeloma cells. Inform your doctor before starting treatment, as Tecvayli 30mg Injection may lead to serious adverse effects including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicities, and infections. Regular monitoring and prompt management of these conditions are essential during therapy. Ensure you inform your physician of all medicines you are taking before commencing treatment with Tecvayli 30mg Injection. Report any symptoms such as difficulty breathing, cough, fever, chest pain, weakness, or seizures to your doctor.
