Introduction to Tecvayli 153mg Injection
Tecvayli 153mg Injection contains the active substance Teclistamab. It is an anticancer medication classified as a bispecific monoclonal antibody.
Tecvayli Injection is used for the treatment of 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 the BCMA-expressing myeloma cells.
