( 5.8 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome TECVAYLI can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including life-threatening or fatal reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the clinical trials (monotherapy and combination therapy trials; N=448), CRS occurred in 64% of patients who received TECVAYLI at the recommended dosage, with Grade 1 CRS occurring in 46% of patients, Grade 2 in 18%, and Grade 3 in 0.2%. Recurrent CRS occurred in 27% of patients. Most patients experienced CRS during the initial step-up dosing schedule (step-up dose 1 (37%), step-up dose 2 (32%), or the initial treatment dose (20%)). CRS first occurred following subsequent doses of TECVAYLI in 2.5% of patients. The median time to onset of CRS was 2 (range: 1 to 9) days after the most recent dose and the median duration of CRS was 2 (range: 1 to 22) days. Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS included, but were not limited to, fever, hypoxia, chills, hypotension, sinus tachycardia, headache, and elevated liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase elevation). Initiate therapy according to TECVAYLI step-up dosing schedule to reduce risk of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.5) ] . Administer pretreatment medications to reduce risk of CRS and monitor patients following administration of TECVAYLI accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.5) ] . At the first sign of CRS, immediately evaluate the patient for hospitalization. Administer supportive care based on severity and consider further management per current practice guidelines. Withhold until CRS resolves or permanently discontinue TECVAYLI based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . TECVAYLI is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. 5.2 Neurologic Toxicity including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome TECVAYLI can cause serious, life-threatening or fatal neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .

( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Janssen Biotech, Inc. at 1-800-526-7736 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma In Combination with Daratumumab and Hyaluronidase-fihj The safety of TECVAYLI in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj (N=283) compared with either daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (DPd) or daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj, bortezomib and dexamethasone (DVd) (N=290) was evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in MajesTEC-3 [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Patients received step-up doses of 0.06 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg of TECVAYLI followed by TECVAYLI 1.5 mg/kg once weekly, followed by TECVAYLI 3 mg/kg every two weeks, followed by TECVAYLI 3 mg/kg every four weeks, subcutaneously. Among patients who received TECVAYLI in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj the median exposure was 32 (range 0.03 to 43) months. Among patients who received DPd or DVd the median exposure was 16 (range 0.03 to 45) months. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 71% of patients who received TECVAYLI in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj. Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥3% of patients included pneumonia (33%), upper respiratory tract infection (15%), cytokine release syndrome (10%), COVID-19 (7%), sepsis (6%), second primary malignancy (5%), pyrexia (4.9%), febrile neutropenia (4.6%), and gastroenteritis (4.2%).

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS TECVAYLI causes release of cytokines [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] that may suppress activity of certain cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, resulting in increased exposure of CYP substrates, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of the CYP substrates. The highest risk of drug-drug interaction is expected to occur after initiation of TECVAYLI step-up dosing schedule up to 7 days after the first treatment dose and during and after CRS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Monitor for toxicity and/or concentrations of CYP substrates where minimal increases in concentration may lead to serious adverse reactions. Consider decreasing the dosage of the concomitant CYP substrate as needed. Certain CYP Substrates : Monitor for toxicity and/or concentrations of CYP substrates where minimal increases in concentration may lead to serious adverse reactions. Consider decreasing the dosage of the concomitant CYP substrate, as needed ( 7 ).

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action, TECVAYLI may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant patient [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of TECVAYLI in pregnant patients to evaluate for a drug associated risk. No animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with TECVAYLI. Teclistamab-cqyv causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to cross the placenta; therefore, teclistamab-cqyv has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus. TECVAYLI is associated with hypogammaglobulinemia, therefore, assessment of immunoglobulin levels in newborns of mothers treated with TECVAYLI should be considered. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of teclistamab-cqyv in human milk, the effect on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed child to TECVAYLI are unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with TECVAYLI and for 5 months after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential TECVAYLI may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant patient [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating TECVAYLI. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 5 months after the last dose of TECVAYLI. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of TECVAYLI have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 165 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with TECVAYLI in MajesTEC-1 at the recommended dosage, 48% were 65 years of age or older, and 15% were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients 65 to 74 years of age compared to younger patients. The study did not include a sufficient number of patients 75 years of age or older to assess whether there are differences in safety or effectiveness. Of the 291 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with TECVAYLI at the recommended dosage in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj in MajesTEC-3, 51% were younger than 65 years of age, 39% were 65 to 74 years of age, and 11% were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients 65 to 74 years of age compared to younger patients. The study did not include a sufficient number of patients 75 years of age or older to assess whether there are differences in effectiveness compared to younger patients. There was a higher incidence of serious adverse reactions in patients 75 years of age or older (83%) and in patients 65 to 74 years of age (77%) as compared to patients younger than 65 years of age (63%).

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Teclistamab-cqyv is a bispecific T-cell engaging antibody that binds to the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and some healthy B-lineage cells. In vitro , teclistamab-cqyv activated T-cells, caused the release of various proinflammatory cytokines, and resulted in the lysis of multiple myeloma cells.
